Written by LINDA HARKCOM In most homes, the kitchen is not only where food is prepared, but is a gathering space for friends and family. While current circumstances have curtailed in-home entertaining, the kitchen is now even more pivotal, as it might also be used for learning or double as a home office. Since the pandemic has caused most people to spend more time in their kitchens than ever before, many are
considering making improvements to this important living space. “Now, more than ever, with clients working from home, we have seen an increase in home renovations,” said Kacie Meyers, sales and design manager at Chambersburg (Pa.) Kitchens & Countertops and The Floor Trader Outlet.“A lot of people are now looking for more versatility in their designs and ability to have multifunctional space, along with wanting a home away from home. Come spring, our trade is
forecasting a huge influx in outdoor kitchens and more spaces that bring the outdoors in.” “We assist customers in finding the right product for our client’s project, while keeping in mind function and design. We also match our client’s job with the right contractors and installers,” Meyers said.
Getting started One of the first steps taken in a remodeling project is choosing a contractor.
