No matter the size of the space, kitchen remodeling projects require precision and expertise. When it comes to smaller kitchens, proper planning and measurement-taking is everything. Opening up your kitchen will create a warmer, more welcoming feeling to your home’s overall atmosphere. As you know, the kitchen is the center of any home, especially if you like to entertain. If you’re looking to enhance your small kitchen, here are a few design tips that will make your kitchen the cooking, dining, and entertaining space you’ve always wanted.

Lift Up Lighting

Overhead fluorescent lighting in any room can be overbearing, harsh, and straining, especially in a small kitchen. Consider hanging pendant lights above an island or counter space. Light bulbs with a warmer, yellowish glow will make your small kitchen feel more relaxing and a bit more expansive. All kitchen lights are much more pleasing when they can be dimmed as you see fit, so be sure to go for lights with dimmable features.

Open Up Space

Storage in a small kitchen is always problematic. Allow yourself to think outside the box for this remodeling project. Instead of overhead cabinets that are impossible to reach, consider some open storage solutions. Open shelving or hanging organizers can help eliminate the need to climb up on a dangerous stool or ladder to get too clunky, large overhead cabinets.

See-Through Elegance

Incorporating glass into your kitchen remodel may seem like a small detail, but it has a huge effect on the overall appearance of your small kitchen. Interior designers recommend this feature in small spaces because it enhances the feeling of spaciousness. Cabinets with glass windows are the most popular way you can utilize this design tool, but there are other options to consider. Adding glass doors that look into other rooms or the outdoors is another way you can incorporate this idea and “expand” your small kitchen.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
