4. Not Enough Lighting

Excellent lighting can help to define your kitchen space. Not providing enough lighting in your kitchen can make it feel dark, small, and cramped.

We all love the shiny new object that comes out every year, but the thing with trends is that they are here today and gone tomorrow. While it may seem like a great idea to choose the latest high-end appliances or the it color of the moment, a couple of months from now that shiny, pricy, slick new item may never get you a return on your investment.

An excellent way to save yourself a lot of heartache and money is to do your research up front and make an informed decision before investing in trendy items. You can also go through the following article to help you with the latest trending decors in 2016
