How to plan kitchen remodeling

1. How to Plan Your Kitchen Remodeling

2. kitchen is one of the most complicated remodeling projects because of all the decisions you will make throughout the process. We'll walk you through the various steps to go ahead with kitchen remodeling. The average project cost varies depending on the size of your kitchen, the quality of materials, and whether you change the layout of the room.

3. Budgeting Setting a budget for your project involves much more than crunching numbers. Before you reach for the calculator, do your research. Find out what’s available in the market today by visiting showrooms, reading magazines, checking out trade shows and searching online resources. Dream up your wish list, then revise that into a “reality list” with price tags.

4. Planning Consider the traffic patterns in your kitchen. Think about function and practicality. Draw a to-scale rendering of the kitchen including all measurements. Group related functions and appliances. Include an island if space allows. Remember to measure the doorways from the kitchen to the exterior of the house, so your new appliance purchases will fit through the doors.

5. Professionals Use professional plumbers, electricians and countertop installers even on DIY projects. Moving electrical, gas or water lines is beyond the scope of most homeowners. Moreover, countertops are heavy and break easily during installation. If you are unsure of your skills with part of the project, invest in professionals for that phase.

6. Quality Kitchen Materials Choose the highest quality materials that are practical and functional for the space. The durability of materials is the highest priority. Choose appliances that fit your lifestyle.

7. Storage Add storage wherever possible in the new kitchen design. Ceiling-height cabinets add valuable space for rarely used items. Install shelving on walls, inside cabinet doors and in the pantry.

8. Lighting Install great lighting as part of the kitchen design. Ambient lighting can include track lights, ceiling fixtures or wall sconces on dimmers. Hard-wire under-cabinet lights and install task lights over each work area.

9. Preparation Plan how you will live during the remodeling project since the kitchen will be off-limits. If you plan to live in the house during the remodel, figure out where you will set up a temporary kitchen.

10. Communication Maintain a good rapport with project managers and your construction team by establishing routine communication with the project manager. Set rules about smoking, music, bathrooms to use and parking for workers. Contain pets away from the construction, so they do not interfere with workers or escape during the process.
