For many homeowners, their priority in making a home their own is to transform the kitchen. It isn’t hard to get sucked into the endless pictures of dream kitchens online. One just as beautiful as the next. It’s no wonder that that so many homeowners are anxious to do a kitchen remodel and make their kitchen one that belongs in a magazine. Before you get started on your kitchen remodel, there are a few things that you are going to want to do. El Don Home Improvement is here to share some tips to help you get started on the kitchen of your dreams.
Kitchen Remodel or Refresh
If you have a kitchen that isn’t meeting your needs as far as functionality is concerned, you might be wanting to have it completely remodeled. This means that you are making major changes that might include moving walls, plumbing, lighting and more. However, if the kitchen functions just fine and is just outdated, you might be able to do a kitchen refresh instead. This might include improvements like painting or refacing cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting and other improvements that will transform the way that your kitchen looks. It can update your kitchen without needing a larger budget like a full remodel does.
Setting a Budget for a Kitchen Renovation
Before you get started on a kitchen remodel, you need to set a budget to work with. You don’t want to get part way through the remodel and find out that you are out of money. You should always plan on spending a little more than you think. Make sure there is wiggle room in the budget that you set. It is going to take some research to get a reasonable budget set. Working with a contractor can help you set a realistic budget for the project you’re looking for.
Design Tips for a Kitchen Remodel
When you are designing your new kitchen, you are going to want to keep functionality in the front of your mind. You need to give a lot of thought to the storage solutions that you’re looking for in your kitchen. Consider what you are looking for as far as cooking in your kitchen goes as well. There is no one size fits all when it comes to a kitchen. You need to consider your specific needs. Working with a design team and a contractor can be helpful when making these selections for a kitchen remodel. Some tips to consider might be:
– Place dishes and glasses next to the dishwasher
– Trash and dishwasher should be near sink
– Ample prep space
– Pantry storage next to the fridge
– Lighting strategically placed above prep spaces
