Some were obvious, like adding stainless steel appliances without considering the streaking and therefore constant cleaning they require. Others were little tweaks you might never think of until it was too late — like the direction your cabinet doors open. Instead of (or in addition to!) helping our readers learn from these mistakes, the comment section exploded with 40-plus other home cooks’ biggest kitchen design regrets.” Click here to continue...
