Starting a mid-size kitchen remodel and want to get the do’s and don’ts right. Is moving the sink worth the plumbing cost, and which countertops have held up best for you—quartz, granite, or butcher block? Any lighting/ventilation tips, GFCI outlet placement gotchas, or storage choices (drawers vs. doors, pantry depth) you’d repeat or avoid?

Great questions! From experience, moving a sink can definitely improve workflow, but it’s usually one of the pricier changes because of plumbing adjustments—so it’s best done if it really enhances your layout. For countertops, quartz tends to hold up the best with low maintenance, while granite is durable but requires sealing. Lighting and ventilation are huge—under-cabinet lighting plus a strong range hood can make a world of difference. As for storage, deep drawers are often more functional than standard doors, especially for pots and pans. If you’re planning a bigger project, a well-designed kitchen remodel adelaide can really help tie all these decisions together into a space that’s both stylish and practical.
