Kitchen remodels are a great way to transform any kitchen into a more efficient and useful space, but sometimes remodeling a kitchen within an existing floor plan simply isn’t enough. Expanding the floor space of a kitchen can allow for more storage, more counter space, and more places for appliances. Making more space for a San Diego kitchen remodel can be a complicated situation, however, as many kitchens are situated in parts of the home that don’t allow for easy expansion. This doesn’t mean that making a bigger kitchen is ever impossible, but it may mean that you need to come up with some creative solutions with your designer.
The best time to expand your kitchen is during a whole home remodel
when other rooms of the home are also going through the remodeling process. The size or presence of other rooms can be sacrificed and incorporated into the kitchen. You can also use the opportunity to expand the foundation and create more total floor space in the home.
Expanding a kitchen provides a lot of exciting opportunities. A cozy breakfast nook allows for lots of small family meals and a place for people to sit and converse with the cook or other people in the kitchen. You can add an additional oven for cooking large meals or even another freezer or fridge if you have a particularly large family. More space also means far more comfort doing everyday things like cooking and cleaning. Explore your kitchen expansion options through our design center or by looking through our kitchen gallery.
