One of the most important things you can do to optimize functionality in the kitchen is to make sure that a) you don’t have more stuff than you regularly use and b) that where your stuff is put makes sense. One of the most important decisions made when assembling or undergoing a New York kitchen renovation is what sort of cabinetry to incorporate into the new design. In my view, it’s best to take the guess work out of what cabinets what will fit what cookware, silverware, pantry items, and flatware, and to opt instead for a custom cabinetry solution.
Indeed, if there is anything that will help you make the most of your tiny living situation, it is custom cabinets. Brooklyn is full of qualified custom cabinet designers who will include the latest trends in cabinet design that will allow you to fit more stuff into less space. The end result is a kitchen that is a pleasure to cook in – less rummaging and less clutter – and, as a result, less eating out, more money saved, and more money in the bank: all this in addition to the equity you’ll be building by adding a functional and attractive kitchen to your home.
I always recommend to my clients when they are looking to add equity to their homes – especially during a housing market cool-down – to focus on making small changes or renovations that will distinguish their homes from others on the market. Adding a unique kitchen with cabinets that truly work for the chef will make selling a home anywhere in NYC – Brooklyn, Manhattan, or anywhere in the New York City area – so much easier and so much more lucrative. Recently, I sold my Brooklyn apartment that I finished with custom cabinets for 40% more than I bought it for just 1 year ago (I bought it for $550k). Doing the math, you can’t help but conclude that having the right cabinets in Brooklyn makes sense and cents.
