Are you considering renovating your kitchen? Feeling lost on where to start? We hope that this guide will be perfect for getting you started in this process and the steps necessary for obtaining your dream space!
Evaluate your Needs and Requirements
The first step that we recommend to any new and existing clients is to assess your needs and requirements – how you like to use your kitchen and what the ‘essential’ elements are going to be. It might be worth writing down a list of everything that you deem important for your kitchen space, including the amount of storage you might need, kitchen appliances and worktop space for prepping and cooking food. If you have a larger family, this might impact your choices as you most likely will need a larger fridge, freezer, oven or hob!
It is also worth considering whether you would like this space to be multi-functional, as a lot of kitchen areas incorporate dining and living zones in an open-plan design. Will you be hosting dinner parties with family or friends? Or will this space will be solely for preparing food and meals? These are all initial questions that you need to ask yourself.
Get Inspiration
Before speaking to one of our design experts, it is essential to get inspiration from magazines, online or even, using the app Pinterest. Creating your dream kitchen space can feel overwhelming especially when there is so much choice and variation of cabinets, worktops, handles – you name it! Ensuring that you consider all of these details including design styles and colour schemes and that they work together well is crucial. If you are a visual person, creating a mood board with all your ideas on one page might help you to visualise the space you are hoping for.
Consider your Budget
Kitchens can be a large outlay so you do need to have in mind what price you are willing to spend. If you have a rough budget, this definitely helps when it comes to the design process so that you can narrow down your options. This way you can avoid any disappointment later down the line, especially if you are looking at a kitchen style that is over budget.
