Add A Pot Rack – Pot rack could be another great and helpful upgrade of your kitchen. It can save a lot of cabinet space by hanging cookware overhead. The pot rack should be positioned over the island to make sure you do not bump into it, but still easy to reach.
Add A Window, If Possible – Consider the idea of adding a window or windows in your kitchen. If it is possible, of course. Just keep the window design as simple as possible for easy installation and quick cleaning.
