The other company we dealt with had extra charges and it was like I was signing a blank check – they delivered what they said they would within our budget. They went well beyond what I expected in many ways.

Steps To A Modern Kitchen Renovation For Your Home

Do you want a kitchen that matches your lifestyle? Doing a kitchen renovation is one of the ways to design it to your liking and give it a great feel.

Meet Everyone’s Needs with the Kitchen Design

Make sure your new kitchen designs meet the needs of your family during the planning process. If someone uses a wheelchair, ensure that they have enough space to access the kitchen with no issue.

Check that the storage area can accommodate everyone. It should also be close to the food preparation area to make your life easier.

If you like to entertain, you’ll want to plan on having enough space for you and your guests at dinner. A new seating area is a great way to enjoy everybody’s company, while keeping them out of the way while you’re cooking.

Determine The Scope And Style Of The Renovation

Remodeling your kitchen will be a difficult task and requires patience. It is a worthy investment if you put your time into it.

Start with knowing the scope of this project. Do you want to overhaul or only change some fundamental things? This design stage is the most crucial.

Explore all the kitchen layout ideas available and choose one that you like. Ensure that you take your time to make the right decision, one you won’t regret later on.

Don’t exaggerate and go beyond your lifestyle. Spending so much time and money renovating your kitchen’s cooking area does not make sense if you don’t cook that often.

Establish Your Budget

Once you have outlined your goals and needs, prepare a budget for your kitchen renovation. You should figure out how much money and time you are willing to spend.

You could take a DIY approach, since that is cheaper than using expert kitchen contractors. But this will likely take longer to complete, and may cause unnecessary headaches. The quality of make suffer though without the use of professionals.

Using a full service team of Ottawa kitchen contractors, like OGC, lets you focus on your day-to-day activities. Make sure you communicate your wishes and let them get to work.

Measure And Sketch The Layout

Contractors use four main kitchen layouts:
- One-way
- L-shape
- U-shape
- Galley

Measure all the countertops and all the appliances in your kitchen in detail. Record all the width, length, and height measurements.

After that, get a rough sketch of the current layout to see other available options. Aim for accuracy, so the cabinets and countertops fit without any problems.

Make sure to include all outlets and plumbing fixtures. This will help you know how to lay out the cabinets and where to place the sink and faucets.

Choose Materials To Use

Trust your taste when it comes to the materials you want to use in your kitchen. However, remember that some materials are more appropriate than others in design or durability.

Ensure that you go for quality over quantity. Your kitchen is one of the most-used rooms in your home, so you want to make sure the materials have a long shelf life.

When it comes to cabinets and drawers, you can choose from melamine, wood, PVC, and even metal. Melamine is easy to clean and cheaper than wood. However, the latter lasts for years with little to no damage. The advantage of PVC is that it comes in different textures and colors.

You can experiment and see what works for you.

Hire A Kitchen Design Specialist

Make your dream kitchen come to life by getting a kitchen specialist to help. It’s important to find someone you trust and understands your taste.

Most offer free consultations, so you can schedule meetings with multiple specialists to see who is the best fit.

An expert should also understand lifestyle better. New parents may need counter space to prepare formula and fresh vegetables. Empty nesters might want a more functional use of space now that there are fewer people in the house.

Hiring a specialist gives you control without you breaking a sweat. They will guide you on where to get the best deals on cabinets and other appliances that you will need. They will also offer you guidance and expertise in new design areas.

Cater To The Details

Changing the minor things in your house can make all the difference. You may not need a complicated renovation to feel an enhancement.

You could start with the light switches, handles, and tapware. They are not expensive and will give your kitchen a new feel. You only need to visit your local hardware store and get some new items. Once you see the results, you will love how much impact it will have made.

Modern kitchen renovations are expensive but a worthy investment. Taking your time while doing it is vital to ensure you get what you will love.

Following these steps, you can kick-start your remodeling journey. What are you waiting for now?
