How do you win a kitchen makeover? | Ask.com

A homeowner wishing to improve her chances of winning should enter kitchen makeover contests that require entrants to write an essay. Since writing an essay takes more effort than filling out a simple form, those that go the extra mile are fewer in number. It's also a good idea to enter the same contest as many times as the rules allow to stack the deck in one's favor. If a contest involves public voting, a good strategy is to enlist the help of family and friends via social media to bring in as many votes as possible.

Some common things found in a kitchen include kitchen appliances, utensils, cooking tools and linens. Specific items in each kitchen vary according to the tastes of the people who use it.

A galley kitchen is an open kitchen design that mimics the galleys on sailing vessels. In a galley kitchen, appliances and cabinets are arranged in two parallel lines with overhead cabinets and racks to maximize the use of vertical space. Galley kitchens may be U-shaped, or they may consist only of parallel countertops. They always lack a central table or counter.

A Pullman kitchen also is called a "single-line kitchen" because all of the appliances and countertops are placed along one straight wall, according to BUILD. Counter space is often limited to a small place on each side of the oven.
