Castro Valley Small Kitchen Remodel

When it comes to a Castro Valley Small Kitchen Remodel, you must remember to apply remodel principles that will give your more space for your layout.

At experienced kitchen remodeling contractors in Castro Valley, we understand the need to get these concepts right and will work on the current space and deliver just that.

Open Concept Ideas for Small Kitchen Renovation

An open-concept design is the best way for you to make maximum use of your small kitchen space. By eliminating the need for a wall enclosing the kitchen, you make the little space you have to appear bigger.

Here are some open concepts you can use for your small kitchen:

Single wall	With the single-wall concept, we will arrange your storage, workspace, and cooking area all along one wall.
L shape	The L shape design uses two walls and opens your kitchen to the rest of the home. We put the workspace in the corner to ensure there is synergy in the workflow.
Peninsula	The design uses two of your adjoining ways to create an L shape in the kitchen. We also add an attractive counter space on another wall, giving you a sufficient workspace.
U shape	If the walls in your small kitchen are close together, we will create a U-shaped kitchen for you. It makes workflow easier since moving from one area to the next can be done seamlessly.

Small Kitchen Remodel with a Custom Island

An island in a small kitchen can act as additional counter space or double up as a dining area for small spaces. Here are some ideas on how to add islands to a small kitchen space:

A small island with storage: This option adds an island with storage in the lower compartments. It doubles up as storage and gives you a workspace as well.
Kitchen Table into an Island: If space is limited to building an island in the kitchen, we can upcycle a table and use either instead. It is handy if you want the island to be used for dining.
Narrow Island: One way to add an illusion of space to your kitchen is to use a slimline island. It is long and narrow and makes you think you have more floor space. We can also add a couple of storage shelves at the bottom, which is another great perk.

Expanding a Small Kitchen Layout

When it comes to expanding your kitchen floor plan, different structural and architectural elements comes into play to ensure all features and sections with blend into a single functional space.

Layout: The first thing you need to keep in mind is the layout. We will help you figure out whether the L shape, U shape, or one-wall layout is the best for you. We can also break down a wall or put up another so the layout you have in mind works for your kitchen.
Working zones: Every kitchen needs to have five zones: a cooking zone, a cleaning zone, a preparation zone, a consumable zone, and a non-consumable zone. We ensure that all these zones are placed in synchronization with each other. That way, you can move from them all without doubling back.
Symmetry: The elements in your kitchen must work together for a balance, and we do this by setting up the cooking and storage sections into a functional space.
