Three steps to planning your new kitchen
Getting a new kitchen is a very exciting process, which can sometimes become a little overwhelming, with all the things you need to consider when buying a kitchen.
Once you have decided you need a new kitchen, the search is on for design ideas, the right product, appliances, fitters and most importantly, a kitchen designer that understands what you are looking for.
It is important, that you are listened to and receive advice on what you can do, instead of what is not possible.
You want to make sure that your dream kitchen sits within your budget without compromising on quality or service and that the process of replacing the heart of your home is as smooth as possible.
Where do you start?
We suggest following these three steps to get your kitchen renovation project started.
1. Set up a kitchen wish list and answer the following questions
- What would your ultimate dream kitchen look like?
- What is the reason for buying a new kitchen?
- What do you like and dislike about your existing kitchen?
- What are your absolute kitchen must-haves?
- What are your nice-to-have kitchen items?
- How are you planning to use your kitchen?
- How important is storage space in your kitchen?
- Which key appliances do you need or want, e.g.
- single fridge and freezer, or combination
- gas or induction hob
- wall, ceiling, or downdraft extractor
- microwave or microwave combi
- single, double or steam oven
- kettle or boiling water tap
When putting your kitchen wish list together, you can also ask your family members for their input or speak to relatives and friends who have purchased a kitchen within the last year or two. Having used their kitchen for some time, they may have some ideas about what they would do differently if they could do it again!
2. Have an idea of your available budget and consider the following
- Do you just wish to replace your existing kitchen?
- Do you need or want to work only within your existing space?
- Does your new kitchen require additional building work?
- Does your kitchen renovation include a separate utility room?
