Factors to Consider When Remodeling Your Kitchen
Careful planning is the cornerstone of a successful kitchen remodel.
At Marvista, we help guide homeowners through every step of the process, ensuring we take all of their wants and needs into consideration. When planning your kitchen remodel, it’s essential to keep these factors in mind:

Whether you want an open-concept or traditional kitchen layout, it’s important to develop a plan that maximizes workflow by adhering to the kitchen work triangle concept that keeps equal space between your sink, stove, and fridge.
From custom cabinetry to pre-fabricated options, choosing smart storage solutions like pull-out shelves and built-in organizers can make all the difference in your kitchen’s functionality.
Our team offers a wide range of popular materials for countertops and surfaces, such as quartz, granite, and butcher block, each of which boasts different advantages in terms of durability and maintenance requirements.
Choosing energy-efficient appliances and integrating smart technologies into your culinary space can help lower utility bills and create a modernized workspace that enhances your home value.
It’s important to consider the role of task, ambient, and accent lighting, selecting finishes and color schemes that match your style while enhancing visibility throughout your culinary workspace.
When planning for your kitchen remodel, be sure to set realistic expectations for costs and set aside extra finances for contingencies. Marvista offers plenty of financing options to help minimize stress during the remodeling process.

What Defines a Traditional Kitchen?
In a nutshell, traditional kitchens are warm and welcoming.
They focus on functionality while leaving room for decoration and your personal flare. Here are some features you might find in a traditional kitchen:
- Natural materials: Stained or painted wood cabinets are the norm. Stone countertops such as granite, marble, and quartz are also common, especially if the slabs have prominent veining or speckling.
- Decorative detailing: While modern kitchens aim for sleek lines, traditional kitchen design celebrates embellishments. Islands and cabinets are often adorned with wainscoting, corbels, and furniture-like ornamentation, while countertops may feature decorative edges. Other detailing may include arched doorways, exposed beams, and ornate crown molding.
- Traditional cabinet elements: Raised or recessed cabinet doors and drawer fronts with elaborate profiles are a hallmark of traditional kitchens. The cabinets may be crisply finished or distressed to add a more relaxed appearance. Cabinet hardware should match the finish and style of the plumbing fixtures in the room.
- Neutral color scheme: You don’t typically find bold colors in a traditional kitchen apart from small accents. The dominant colors tend to be white, gray, brown, or tan. Kitchens inspired by old-world designs may have more orange and terracotta throughout.
- Ornamental light fixtures: Hanging decorative pendant lights or a chandelier over the island is common in traditional kitchens. Even so, more conservative recessed lighting is another popular option.
- Wood or tile flooring: The kitchen floor ties it all together. One choice is to install contrasting floor and cabinet materials to create a distinct difference between the two. However, in smaller kitchens, nearly matching floors and cabinets can help the room look larger. Popular flooring materials for traditional kitchens include hardwood, laminate planks, and tile.
