Kitchen remodel – renovating the kitchen is an exciting albeit stressful time. There is so much to consider: cooking needs, equipment, hardware, space, technology, the list goes on.
But its list of considerations don’t have to make the job overwhelming, especially when you break it down into a few key things you have to think about. By following a quick considerations guide, you will be sure to ponder only what’s truly important to your remodel, and not get swept up in trivialities!
With this in mind, here are five key things to think about when it comes to your remodel:
Your space
The first thing to consider with the best custom kitchen designs Blacktown has is your space: what do you need and where will it go? This is a room of the home that contains a lot of equipment, hardware and technology, each of which should be efficiently placed to create the calmest cooking experience possible.
So, where does your cooktop have to go? And will there be adequate space nearby to prepare your food before cooking it? What about imperative tech like your fridge and dishwasher? Will they be conveniently located within the room for easy accessibility?
The floor plan is the first – and most important consideration – it can also be a helluva lot of fun to design!
Your budget
Now the less exciting part: budget. You will already know that you can’t do any kind of work on your home without considering your budget limitations. Sure, you might want that brand new smart stovetop complete with WiFi connectivity, but do you really need that smart stovetop with WiFi connectivity?
Sometimes, we just need to stick to the old school when it comes to kitchen designs, and some things, whilst exciting, may just be a little unnecessary when it comes to budget constraints, so this is essential when designing your space.
Your lifestyle needs
The kitchen is a space that should really reflect the needs of its occupant. For example, are you a young family with kids that need to eat before school and yourselves dashing off to work every day? Then perhaps a sizeable breakfast counter complete with ample stools is ideal for those quick mornings on the go.
Are you an aspiring foodie that wants the appliances that will take your cooking to the next level? Well then it’s best to ensure that everything is in its perfect place, also considering the golden triangle (the stove, fridge and sink in an imaginary triangle) to ensure you’re good to go when the mood strikes you.
Your design should ensure that it accommodates your lifestyle, otherwise you might find this space is one that is cluttered, dysfunctional or near-unusable!
Your builder
You should always choose the most reputable builder for the job, as they are sure to have the skills, experience and knowledge to provide your home with the very best service available. Do your research, starting with Google reviews before moving on requesting client testimonials – they will help you know for sure that you are choosing a team that will create a stunning space!
When you want to get started
Finally, when do you want to get started? Do you actually have the time to consider this important event? If so, that’s awesome! This is a really exciting thing that increases your home’s style, functionality and value, and so if you are ready to get the ball rolling on your awesome remodel, feel free to contact your builder today!
