Every mistake made during kitchen renovation can turn into a real tragedy.
To avoid regretting money and effort that went down the drain, try to avoid the mistakes listed by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino .
Skirting board on the apron and countertop joint
Typically, workers install a baseboard in this area to prevent water from getting into the narrow joint, which can lead to mold and mildew. But designers say this is unnecessary – instead, try to make sure that the wall panel or tile matches the countertop and covers the joint with its thickness.
This can be done if you first install the kitchen unit and countertop, and only then start working on the apron.
Push-to-open cabinet doors
Such cabinets without handles are undoubtedly very popular, but they have many disadvantages - the fronts become stained by hands, and due to frequent use, the mechanism quickly breaks down.
Handles, on the other hand, can last forever and are easy to replace.
Embossed panels on furniture
Another common solution that can often be seen in a kitchen decorated in a classic style is relief panels on furniture.
But don't forget that the relief collects a lot of dust, and it's not that easy to clean compared to simple, smooth cabinets with minimal finishing.
Earlier, the expert told whether it is possible to do without a hood in the kitchen.
