Many are seeking to renovate their kitchen even where cooking is not a top priority and the area is used as a space for socialising. Kitchens have become the busiest room in the home and want to renovate for casual dining, social events, design and practicality. Here are our top basic tips when renovating for the first time.
Observation
Ask yourself why you want to renovate. Is it due to poor layout, stained ceiling that need resurfacing or lack of storage? By identifying issues with your current kitchen it will enable you to easily know what you want for your future kitchen and makes the planning process easier. The key when planning is having ‘the triangle’ as designers say. This is the perfect formula to arrange your sink, stove and fridge at an easily accessible distance to increase productivity.
Functionality
Customisation is in demand to suit everybody’s needs and style. A design fusion of various materials, textures, colours and insets is what people want to suit their lifestyle and for the kitchen to be sustainable for many years. Kitchen Islands are essential for socialising, preparing food and storage. It has become a focal functional point within the kitchen and a wow factor for guests. Countertops and splashbacks need to be durable to withstand use; high quality for easy cleaning and both come in a variety of colours for styling. One of the biggest things to consider is storage; one can never have too much storage. Add storage where you can to ensure you don’t have to renovate in a couple of years.
Professional Help
You could be tempted to do the renovation yourself to save money. This will only leave you with wasted time and spending more money to fix the issue. A professional’s advice can assist with design, layout, electrical wiring and instillation. Doing it right the first time will leave you with a kitchen that will last a lifetime.
