There are some important facets to focus on when pursuing a custom kitchen installation/remodeling. First and foremost, you must decide on a layout. The kitchen layout is the shape that’s made by the arrangement of countertops, major appliances, and storage areas. In the traditional kitchen layout, the floor plan creates what’s known as a “kitchen work triangle.” This is the path you make when moving from the refrigerator, to the sink, to the range to prepare a meal.

While modern kitchens often utilize standalone islands, traditional triangle-based designs are still popular. Another thing that should be focused on is the type of cabinetry used. There are a variety of cabinet woods to choose from, but oak and mahogany are two of the most popular.

You’ll also need to decide what flooring and wall surfaces are going to be included, and lighting as well is an important concept that must be kept in mind.
