A kitchen renovation is an exciting project to undertake for any homeowner. It can also be a costly one. With the large financial investment that you’ll likely be pouring in to renovating your kitchen, it’s important for you to get your money’s worth. Look for a design that optimizes space efficiency and functionality. Of course, aesthetics are an important consideration as well.
Having a vision
You need to set clear goals for your kitchen renovation and help everyone involved in the project have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve. Start sifting through magazine clippings and images online and think about your favorite look. Create a mood board that features samples of the materials and colors you want your kitchen to have.
Selecting appliances
When choosing kitchen appliances, think about the ones that you’ll actually use in your kitchen versus those you think will only end up in storage. Consider carefully where you want to place them in your kitchen and make sure each is within easy reach to avoid circling around needlessly.
What about storage space?
Many homeowners underestimate the importance of having enough space for storage, so don’t make the same mistake. Be sure to consider ALL storage requirements for your kitchen tools and whatnot. As a rule of thumb, keep your pots, pans and utensils next to the stove or oven, and keep knife blocks, chopping boards and such close to food preparation areas.
The touch of an expert
When selecting a kitchen remodeler for the job, ask them for a visual layout of your new kitchen to see for yourself how it will look like exactly when completed.
