When thinking about your new kitchen design, keep in mind that you aren’t limited by your existing kitchen cabinet configuration.

While you may want to simply update your cabinets without changing their location, size, or shape, it’s good to remember that you can make any changes you want.

Kitchen Cabinets South Florida — No Limits on Your Imagination

There are only a few things in your current kitchen template that can’t be changed, and you can even modify those if you have the budget and time. For example, the location of your kitchen windows is probably not something you want to move. Plumbing is also something that usually is prohibitively costly to move (although, again, not impossible).

But everything else is pretty much up for grabs, including the location of your appliances, the configuration of your current cabinets, and even the size and location of your doorways.

Kitchen Cabinets South Florida — Dream Big 

Honestly, it’s easier to dream big at the outset of a kitchen rehab project — before anything is torn out of built in — than it is to try to add something major later.

Consider the “macro” goals of your kitchen upgrade: Do you want your kitchen to be brighter? Do you want more room? Are you thinking about entertaining more often?

The answers to these big questions can help you make all the small decisions that go into redesigning your kitchen.

Kitchen Cabinets South Florida — Forget about Time and Budget

During the early, creative stage of your kitchen redesign, you don’t have to limit yourself with real-life worries, such as how much it is all going to cost or how long it will take. Instead, you should dream big and come up with three or four major items that you absolutely, positively want to include in your new kitchen.

Generally, once you make the big choices, the rest of your plan falls into place naturally.
