Kitchen Renovation- How to Make the Most of It

Finally, you’ve started planning a kitchen renovation after giving it much thought. But still, are you wondering if you’d be successful in that or it will end up in a blunder? With such a huge range of cabinetry, fittings and other necessary items, you’ve to keep an eye on your budget all the time. You’ll have to think over how to get the maximum value for what you spend, how you would efficiently utilize your spaces and how to smartly make things work harder for you. Here are some tips that will help you make the most of your kitchen renovation.

1. How do You Want to Use Your Kitchen?

Today’s trend is to make kitchen a space for multiple tasks, including cooking, eating, chatting, partying, helping children in their homework and even as an office. Have you thought how you’d use yours? Your kitchen renovation will depend on what you’d use your kitchen for. If you want to make it a multipurpose space, you’ll require all the elements necessary for these tasks, including your dining table and chairs, a corner to keep your laptop or desktop computer and other office equipment, a snack and drink bar and other things along with your appliances and food supplies. In that case, is your kitchen spacious enough? If your kitchen is not big enough, it’s better to use it only for 1 more purpose other than its basic purpose i.e. cooking. Either you can place a dining table there or your office or anything else you have in mind. Or you can simply use your kitchen for cooking and have only cooking supplies there and that will make things easy for you.

2. Think of a Facelift

If your kitchen is quite functional but still you want to renovate it, consider just a facelift instead of total kitchen redesign. There are so many small things you can change to make your kitchen look fantastic. You can install a new sink, upgrade your appliances, get an additional sink or install new lights, faucet or tiles. You can even upgrade the hardware of your cabinetry. These changes are small but will add a drama to your kitchen’s look.

3. Starting Afresh

If you’ll be starting afresh, first consider your space. Draw up plans and visualize how the renovation will look like and work. You’ll also have to think about the cost. Don’t forget details. See to it that every appliance will have its space and you won’t have to keep it lying randomly here or there. Plan lighting for areas where you’ll need it the most, like on the stove, the sink and so on. Plan an area for each and every element, so that it can be conveniently accessed. E.g. knives and utensils near prepping area which in turn should be near your stove, bin near the sink and fridge just a few steps away, and so on.
