  • A kitchen remodel can completely transform your home. It’s an exciting project, but small mistakes can lead to big regrets later. Here are seven common errors to avoid so your new kitchen looks beautiful and works perfectly for your lifestyle.

    1. Ignoring the Work Triangle
    The cooker, sink and fridge should form a clear, practical path. If they are too far apart or blocked by furniture, cooking becomes frustrating. Always plan for easy movement between them before anything else.

    2. Not Planning Enough Storage
    Many people underestimate how much storage they need. Deep drawers, pull-out larders and corner solutions make a big difference. Plan storage early so everything has its place and worktops stay clear.

    3. Poor Lighting
    Good lighting transforms a kitchen. Combine ceiling lights with under-cabinet and accent lighting to create the right mood and make every task easier.

    4. Choosing Style Over Function
    A kitchen must be practical as well as stylish. Choose materials that are durable and easy to clean. Neutral colours and quality fittings will stand the test of time.

    5. Forgetting Ventilation
    Without proper ventilation, cooking smells and grease can damage surfaces. A quiet, powerful extractor keeps the air fresh and protects your kitchen.

    6. Not Thinking About Power Points
    Sockets and switches are often overlooked. Plan where you’ll plug in appliances, charge phones or add lighting before installation begins.

    7. Skipping the Visual Stage
    Many people don’t take time to visualise their new kitchen before it’s built. At Posh Design, our CGI visuals let you see every detail of your future kitchen before work starts. This gives complete confidence in every decision.

    Plan Smarter, Design Better
    Avoiding these mistakes means your remodel will run smoothly and look exactly as you imagined.
