Tips and Tricks for Solving Common Kitchen Design Dilemmas (BPT) - Kitchen design is an art form, one where function and beauty harmoniously coexist. When renovating a kitchen, homeowners can find themselves facing challenging design dilemmas. And they are not alone. “When redesigning or refreshing a kitchen, the goal is to create a space that is hardworking, yet beautiful,” says Nate Berkus, renowned designer and artistic advisor to LG Studio. Berkus offers suggestions on how to create a space that is functional, and beautiful. Space Challenges. When you don’t have enough room for the large table your family needs, get creative.

Will you need extra room for countertop appliances? “My rule of thumb is always double the amount of counter space you think you’ll need,” Berkus says. “You can never have too much, especially if you like to cook and entertain.” Ultimately, Berkus says, “Kitchen design is about creating a space that brings the family together, and reflects your sense of style.” • SOLD OVER 550 HOMES IN THE SOUTH BAY!

It makes a dramatic statement and looks fantastic paired with stainless steel appliances.” Small Budgets, Big Taste. When you long for that sleek, built-in look but don’t want to break the bank, counter-depth appliances are a great design choice. They seamlessly integrate with cabinetry no matter what the material, supporting that clean look you want your kitchen to reflect. “I’m obsessed with LG Studio’s three-door counter-depth refrigerator,” Berkus says. “The door-in-door feature is one of my favorites.” The refrigerator also features a sophisticated, pro-style, flat-door design inspired by Berkus that gives it a premium look.
