Taking the extra time to plan out your next kitchen remodel could save you countless days and 1000’s of dollars. Here are just a few key renovation points to keep in mind.
- Consult with a design professional – With so many aspects that require specialization, kitchen designers specialize in making sure everything from your electrical, plumbing, hardware, rough-ins, counter depths, lighting, seating etc, ect.. and so on are all sorted out the first time through. They really do pay for themselves.
- Consider your floor plan – Layout your triangle. sink, fridge, dishwasher, stove. does it all make sense? Will you be carrying wet dishes across the floor to the dish cabinet? Is the sink close enough to the dishwasher? Will the fridge door open with enough space to pass through? All things to consider.
- Consider Appliances – Size, Pricing, Availability, model, colours, delivery days, storage until final installation. All options to consider.
- Lighting Consideration – Adding lighting? make sure your work surfaces have ample task lighting. Try and stick with LED if possible. Consider the wattage and Kelvin (colour) of your bulbs. Try and keep them all in the same spectrum 2500 – 3000K if possible.
- Stay on Budget – With so many moving parts, use a spreadsheet to keep yourself on budget. Keep in mind that even small changes can have many domino effects. Increasing the size of the garbage pull out seems simple. But if the new box overlaps a sink drainage pipe, it can cost triple to move the plumbing over. All things to consider.
