Have you ever noticed how people tend to gravitate toward and congregate in the kitchen? It doesn't matter how spacious and cozy the rest of your house is, house guests and children love spending time under the bright lights and aromatic confines of the kitchen.

Without a doubt, the kitchen is the best part of the house, and it's essential to keep this in mind when designing and remodeling. So we here at Snappy Kitchens would like to share some of the biggest kitchen remodeling mistakes people make when planning for their future.

A new faucet can make all the difference in updating a kitchen design. The Delta Fuse faucet is a clean, contemporary update that also provides an unexpected pop of color. The soft curves and two-toned look are matched with MagnaTite docking for the handle pull-down to create the perfect blend of form and function. In vibrant colors like Chili Pepper and Snowflake White, it’s easy to find the one that’s right for your kitchen design!

With springtime bringing fresh air and flowers, it’s easy to catch the fever for fresh kitchen design too, but adding a spring-y update to your design doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. In fact, a design remix doesn’t have to cost anything at all! Take a walk around the house and consider transplanting family photos or artwork from other rooms into the kitchen. Re-think furniture too – a desk or small table can be re-purposed as a kitchen workspace or island with a beveled-glass topper.

Bright colors are perfect for social areas like the kitchen, but too many or the wrong combination of colors can turn even the best design into something overbearing. Sometimes less is more. Bright colors in moderation can have an even bigger effect on your overall design whether it’s a strip of tiled backsplash or a painted accent wall. We love this clever yellow pocket door (above) that both saves space and makes the vibrant color an unexpected surprise.
