Ok…you’ve decided this is the weekend you’re going to embrace your inner DIY’er and paint your kitchen! You run down to the paint store and pick up what looks to be the most fabulous shade of paint you’ve ever seen.
You spend the entire day painting your kitchen and realize after its dry…YIKES!!! This paint color looks horrible! Oh…my gosh!!! What do I do now?!!!
We’ve all been there before and can certainly relate to this type of mistake. Before you go and invest in any kind of paint, or major renovation project in your kitchen, find out more about 6 types of kitchen design mistakes and how to avoid them.

1. Not Working with a Professional

One of the biggest mistakes you can make when deciding to undertake a major kitchen renovation is not working with a professional.
A professional kitchen designer will be able to help you plan your new kitchen layout, and incorporate things you may or may not be thinking about like ample storage space and countertop space. In addition they will also be able to assist you with the proper measurements and making sure you’re ordering the correct size upper and lower cabinets.
At TheRTAStore.com our friendly kitchen designers are trained to think about all of the small details to help give you piece of mind so your next kitchen remodel will be a stress free experience.

2. Following Kitchen Trends


We all love the shiny new object that comes out every year, but the thing with trends is that they are here today and gone tomorrow. While it may seem like a great idea to choose the latest high-end appliances or the “it” color of the moment, a couple of months from now that shiny, pricy, slick new item may never get you a return on your investment.
An excellent way to save yourself a lot of heartache and money is to do your research up front and make an informed decision before investing in trendy items.
​
3. Not Enough Lighting

Just like beautiful jewelry can help to finish off the perfect outfit, excellent lighting can help to define your kitchen space. Not providing enough lighting in your kitchen can make it feel dark, small, and cramped.
When planning out your next kitchen remodel, work with a design professional who can assist you with planning the right amount of light for your kitchen that will aid in making your space feel larger, brighter, and more airy.

4. Storage Space

We all have too much stuff. A huge complaint we hear from many people about their kitchen space is there isn’t enough storage. Before you invest in new kitchen cabinets think about how you use your kitchen and what types of items you have that will need to be stored.
At TheRTAStore.com we offer some very clever ways to store large and small items in our kitchen cabinets.

5. Kitchen Islands

If you’re looking to add additional countertop space and opportunities for more storage, a kitchen island is a great addition to any kitchen. But if you choose the wrong one or don’t have enough space to have one, it can be a real problem.
An easy fix to this solution is to work with a professional kitchen designer and let the designer help take the guess work out planning for your kitchen island.
​
6. Forgoing the Backsplash

After spending quite a bit of money on the major items in your kitchen renovation, you may want to forget about spending money on the last finishing touch…the backsplash. But this is a huge mistake. Yes, backsplashes can look beautiful and seem like they are only there for decorative reasons, but the truth is there is a real function to having a backsplash up on a wall.
Backsplashes provide extra protection for your wall while you’re washing dishes and cooking food. Deciding to cut corners to save a few bucks in the short term will eventually become a very costly mistake in the long run.
