Tips For Kitchen Renovation

The kitchen. The center of a home. Where families gather. Let’s make it perfect for you and those you love.

Renovating your kitchen can be a daunting task. This is why it is important to carefully plan out every element before you begin. From the planning to the execution, transforming the vision of a dream kitchen into reality takes multiple steps.

 

PLANNING THE KITCHEN RENOVATION

When looking at renovating a kitchen, it is important to ask yourself how you use the space. Do you cook often? Do you entertain? Is your kitchen more of a show piece or a heavy lifter? Does your space dictate the layout of your kitchen? Can you take out walls to make it bigger or open concept? Or are you thinking of increasing space with an addition?

And don’t forget the details of kitchen storage. Are you planning for enough accessible pantry space? Do you need a walk-in pantry? How big of a fridge do you want? Are we adding a wine fridge? What’s important to have accessible while cooking?
 

KITCHEN STYLE

Kitchens are often the centre of a home, and therefore not only should they be functional, but they should also be beautiful. If you are going to be spending a lot of time in the space, ensuring that the style matches your personality is key.

The five important elements to consider are: cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring and appliances. Are you going with white, wood, or painted cabinets? Quartz, granite, or butcher block countertops? Each come with their pros and cons. The backsplash can be creative and eye-catching or more demure and blend in with the space. There are endless options for creativity.

We can help guide the decision process and make sure that your choices are integrated beautifully.
