If you are considering a kitchen remodel you have a lot of company. Both major and minor kitchen renovations continue to be among the most popular of home improvement projects, and for good reason.

The kitchen is without question the most important room in your home. Whether you are looking for a more functional kitchen, more storage space, or a place to hold a sit-down dinner for a large group, any improvement will make a difference for your family. The good news is you can accomplish your goals even on a budget.

The most common reason for a kitchen renovation in Akron and Medina is to get a larger, more functional space. This could mean building an addition on your home and/or borrowing adjacent space from a powder room, laundry room, or mud room. If you are on a budget, consider a bump-out addition.

Bump-out kitchen addition in Akron OH

If the biggest challenge in your kitchen is finding space for a dining table worthy of a holiday meal, a bump out may be the answer. These micro additions can be designed to add just enough space to make the difference, and at a fraction of the cost of a full addition.

Bump outs can be anywhere from a couple feet to 10 or 15 feet and can be cantilevered off your main floor joists. New floor joists running alongside existing joists provide the foundational support needed for the expansion, and since the new space is part of an existing room, no heating or cooling elements are needed. This means a quick construction project that costs significantly less than the typical addition.

Whether you want to keep your kitchen remodel simple or you plan to redesign and reorganize your kitchen, consider the following possibilities to get the space and functionality you need.

• Removing or shifting walls is an easy way to get more space for a breakfast nook, pantry, or food prep area.
• Adding a few cabinets can make a big difference for organized storage.
• Create casual eating or gathering space by adding a breakfast bar and stools at one side of an island.
• Brighten and broaden your kitchen with open shelving or by adding a skylight.
• Update a tired kitchen with a new countertop, a butcher block, new flooring, or modern hardware for drawers and cabinets.
• Expand space by adding outside doors to extend to an outdoor kitchen.

Before you begin designing your kitchen remodel, consider how you want to use your kitchen and study your existing layout for under-utilized or poorly organized space. Planning ahead is key for a smooth and economical project, including determining changes in plumbing and electrical connections that may be needed and whether a wall can be removed.
