One more important issue in remodeling is ventilation. Since the air in the kitchen usually contains smoke, odors, and grease, ventilation of the kitchen drastically differs from ventilation in other rooms in the house. Normally, ventilation would include a filtering system and/or an extractor hood. Mostly would also have a ventilation fan or an exhaust fan that would remove the odors and smoke from the kitchen and drive them outdoor. Further, the ventilation should remove excess heat generated in that place. At the same time, there should be adequate air for proper combustion of the fired appliances. The ventilation should protect from carbon monoxide. Kitchen design could be one-way galley or single-file, two-way galley or double-file, L-shaped, U-shaped, G-shaped or block kitchen.

Bathroom remodeling requires lot of planning. The first issue for consideration is the size of the bathroom. The approach would be quite different for smaller bathrooms and larger bathrooms. However, certain basic points are always important when remodeling the bathroom. You should have everything required for remodeling at hand, since special items like uniquely ordered tiles, vanity tops, etc. could take a few weeks to arrive at your home. The plumbing fixtures, the tiles, the tub, and new lighting should all be available before you start the remodeling.

You should plan meticulously the shower storage area, with either ceramic tile shelving or built-in-the-wall type of shelving. You might need to remove the old flooring and you might have to rip out the underlayment when you remove the previous floor covering to put in new flooring. The flooring material should be able to withstand the wetness and last long to avoid recurring necessity of bathroom remodeling. Curved shower rods not only avoid lot of space but also look attractive. You could plan and update the lighting also, using recessed lighting for better illumination of the shower area. Further, you have to ensure that the lighting materials are bathroom rated due to the wet and humid atmosphere that is common in all bathrooms.

It is always ideal to engage a professional when you remodel either your kitchen or bathroom, since a professional company that specializes in remodeling services would have plumbers, carpenters, and electricians in their employment. You would not need to engage each one separately.
