Kitchens are the beating heart of most homes. They are a place to gather, try recipes, do work, enjoy meals, and create memories. Your kitchen is also the space in your home that needs to adapt and modernize the most due to its importance. If you are thinking about renovating your kitchen, you might find remodeling inspiration from our featured projects. But if you have already committed to the remodel, here are seven tips to ensure a successful and smooth kitchen renovation.
Kitchen Renovation Tip #1: Plan Ahead
It’s important to have a detailed plan, and to stick to it. Understand what you want in your space, and how you can reasonably achieve it within your budget and time constraints. Try to think about all the possibilities, your plan of attack, and if you need to clean everything out: create labels and charts about where you’re storing your items and where you want to place them in the new layout for maximum efficiency.
Kitchen Renovation Tip #2: Use Your Current Kitchen
When renovating your kitchen, it can be helpful to bear your current situation in mind to better understand what works, and what doesn’t. Think about the issues you struggle with daily, and that can be the foundation for change.
Kitchen Renovation Tip #3: Choosing the Right Appliances
Making sure that you are getting the right appliances for your space and purposes are one of the most important factors of a successful kitchen remodel. Choosing appliances early can help to make sure you get ones that fit, but also so you can plan the layout and design around them. Appliances have a wide range of features from basic to high-end smart appliances. Be sure to shop what you want ahead of time to factor pricing appropriately into the entire budget. It’s also important with supply chain issues to order early in the process.
Kitchen Renovation Tip #4: Layout Matters
Understanding standard kitchen rules such as ensuring there is 15 inches of countertop space on either side of a cooktop and refrigerator can prevent future problems. Additionally, keeping the same footprint in your kitchen, even if you are upgrading appliances, can make sure no unforeseen plumbing or electrical problems occur. It can also cut down on reconstruction costs and limit the debris in your space.
Kitchen Renovation Tip #5: Maximize Storage
Being able to maximize storage is one of the biggest signs of a successful kitchen remodel. This is especially true if you are keeping the same footprint. Installing kitchen islands can add more space for storage. And making sure top cabinets reach the ceiling can also be a great way to create space.
Kitchen Renovation Tip #6: Incorporating Technology
Another kitchen renovation tip is to incorporate new technology into your design. Making sure you are keeping your home up to date is important to boost your return on investment while also adding convenience.
Kitchen Renovation Tip #7: Function AND Fashion
You don’t need to compromise fashion when creating a functional space. You can choose from a myriad of materials and appliances that speak to your personality and style while still selecting trustworthy brands.
