Remodeling or renovating your kitchen can be a very exciting endeavor to completely transform your home’s inner aesthetics, and even increase its resale value. It can be an invigorating experience to make your kitchen’s design come true through a complete overhaul.

Here is a handy list of critical do’s and don’ts that you should take into consideration before you begin tearing your kitchen apart.

The Do’s

1. Consider the purpose of your kitchen space

Everyone utilizes their kitchen in different, unique and individual ways. Some people use it as a gathering hub for their families while some who are avid cooks use it as their master chef domain – equipped with top of the line appliances.

It is very important to consider the purpose of your kitchen before embarking on a renovation project, as your main purpose will determine the layout, style, and storage capacity of your space in order to fully maximize the potential of your new kitchen.

2. Make sure you have a functional kitchen work triangle

A kitchen that looks aesthetically pleasing doesn’t necessarily mean it is functional. In order to achieve both practicality and beauty, it is important that you choose a kitchen layout that has a functional work triangle. This means that your kitchen sink should be in the middle of the kitchen, with the fridge on one side and the stove on the other.

It is ideal to have 36 inches between the fridge and sink and at least 15 inches between the sink and the range/stove in order to have the perfect cooking experience.

3. Invest in well-built cabinets and fixtures

You know that old saying; you get what you pay for! This does not mean you have to splash out exorbitant amounts on your kitchen renovation. It simply means that, when choosing your cabinets and fixtures, think long term. You want to choose things that are going to last the test of time, look great in 10 years and are have good finishes and hardware.

The kitchen is the center of the home, and often takes a beating, so choose wisely when deciding on what kinds of cabinets, handles, and fixtures you want in your kitchen. Something that costs slightly more can save you thousands in the future.

4. Plan on how many electrical outlets you need

Nothing is worse than having too few electrical outlets in your kitchen – we have all been there. Always plan and think ahead; figure out how many outlets would be of use to you and your family and where you need them to be to make your new kitchen as efficient as possible. Letting your contractor know about this prior to renovations can save you future electrical costs!

5. Pick a qualified team of kitchen renovation experts

Ensure you do your research when it comes to choosing the right renovation experts for your kitchen remodeling. Speak with a number of different renovation companies and trade ideas and suggestions with them. Make sure that the companies you are considering are qualified.

Enquire about all the past projects and portfolios, and always discuss your budget. Always remember to pick the designer that satisfies your taste and style in order to achieve optimal results and satisfaction.

The Don’ts

1. Don’t do it yourself

There are certain things that you can indeed do yourself when it comes to kitchen renovation such as replacing faucets and splashbacks, but it is definitely recommended to use a team of professionals for any major or big kitchen revamp.

2. Do not overspend

There is no need to be shy about the budget you have set aside for your kitchen renovation. Professional and experienced contractors will find a compromising meeting ground for both your vision and budget. Do not ever feel forced into spending more than you can afford!

3. Do not sacrifice safety for aesthetics

Certain materials or fixtures can look very visually pleasing and impressive but at what cost? If you have children, pets or the elderly living at home with you, make sure to never compromise their safety for the sake of something looking great in your kitchen. You want a kitchen that is functional, beautiful and safe for both you and your family.

4. Don’t skimp on storage

Make sure that when planning your kitchen design, you plan to have enough storage units that keep your mess out of sight. Think about whether you really need that double range cooktop, or if you need more space to hide your opened boxes of cereal and pasta. A practical kitchen is one that is functional yet at the same time, highly efficient in storage space.

5. Don’t be afraid to get creative

Your kitchen, your style! Do not be afraid to use bold colors, mix door styles, paints, and stain patterns. This is what will make your kitchen truly yours, and stand out from the crowd.

There you have it! Follow these top tips on the do’s and don’ts of the kitchen renovation, and watch your dream kitchen come to fruition right in front of your eyes!
