From spatial awareness to the nitty-gritty of appliance fit, these tips are gold for anyone looking to hire the right designer for their remodel. Whether you're dreaming of a sleek kitchen island or a cozy bathroom retreat, knowing what not to do can make all the difference. So, grab your favorite beverage and settle in as we dive into the design do's and don'ts that will help you create a space that’s both functional and fabulous! Ever wonder what goes into designing the perfect kitchen or bath? Well, grab your coffee (or cocktail, no judgment here), because we're diving into the top 10 blunders that interior designers often commit when tackling cabinetry projects. Eric G, with his impressive 35-year background in kitchen and bath design, spills the beans on the common pitfalls that can turn your dream remodel into a nightmare. Mistake number one? Not hiring a professional designer! Eric emphasizes that even if you've done a couple of DIY projects, there’s a world of knowledge that seasoned designers possess that can save you from costly errors. He discusses how crucial it is for designers to understand the installation process, as a designer's lack of installation knowledge can lead to cabinetry that just...well, doesn’t fit right. And let's not forget spatial awareness—ever tried to squeeze a massive island into a tiny kitchen? Yeah, that just won't work. With witty banter and a few laughs, Eric lays out these mistakes while equipping you with the knowledge to ask the right questions when hiring a designer. So, if you’re in the market for a remodel, you’ll want to stick around and take notes! Takeaways: Always hire an experienced kitchen and bath designer to avoid costly rookie mistakes. Understanding appliance-cabinet interaction is crucial to ensure functionality and aesthetics. Spatial awareness is key; ensure walkways are at least 42 inches for easy movement. Avoid cramming too many accessories into small spaces; simplicity often leads to better organization.
