Your kitchen and living area are the heart of your home but many San Diego home owners are working remotely which means that 80% of their day is spent in the kitchen!
Check out this article to read about how home owners are making their kitchens more work compatible.
- Peninsula converted to an island
- Total remodel or partial
- Open up the layout
Man, we know about how this year has gone and we totally understand that you're needing to maximize your home for the holidays and 2021.
But don’t worry. In this article, we'll show you where to start!
Read on for the first three things you MUST CONSIDER before you begin!
Peninsula Converted to an Island
The thing is, a peninsula used to be a good idea.
Home owners find that it usually restricts traffic whereas an island allows for better flow and movement...especially if there are two or more people who need to be in the kitchen at once.
If you'd like a cleaner look, more efficient storage, and more total storage (yes, there is a difference), then go ahead and ask your contractor today about ripping out your peninsula and building you and island.
If you'd like depth and complementary colors in your kitchen, going with an island that's a different color! Since your paint, flooring, and counter tops are all uniform, you'll have a simple, classy look that is timeless, bright, and beautiful.
Total Remodel or Partial?
It would be a partial remodel if you wanted to replace paint, flooring, counter tops and appliances. But in this case, you'd keep your plumbing, electrical, lighting, cabinets, etc.
The only problem is that replacing appliances means new appliance sizes. New appliance sizes mean new cabinets, new cabinets means that your island or peninsula will be replaced, which means that your flooring will be replaced. And this all means that you've gone from a partial remodel to a total remodel.
So consider if you'd like to buy new appliances or keep your existing ones. This will make all the difference.

Open Up the Layout
The new thing in 2020 is having enough space. Imagine that.
When you have to work from home, it's easy to allow your work life to taint your experience of your home. You work on the couch, in the kitchen, on the patio, perhaps in your bedroom.
Please don't allow your whole house to be ruined by working from home! You may just need to remodel the space to create a more compatible work area. A few ideas are:
- Remove a divider wall
- Remove an L-shaped wall
- Replace doors and windows for better light or ventilation
- Remove all different types of flooring and replace with continuous flooring
With the total square feet available in your home, or on the main floor, you can have a way better experience of your home with an updated layout.
Make sure you hire a design-build firm that has an architect or engineer on their team already so that you have a one-stop-shop experience and don't have to farm out your own job to a disjointed series of subs.
