Kitchen Remodel: How to Plan a Kitchen Design

 Sep/11/2020      525 The kitchen is often the hub of a home. It’s where you and your family share meals and your lives. For those who cook, a kitchen is one of the most important rooms of the home. A bad kitchen can make it difficult to cool. For those reasons, improving a kitchen can make it more enjoyable for the homeowner and increase a home’s value.

 

Before you can launch your kitchen remodel project, you need to have a complete kitchen design. It’s not enough to pick countertops and a backsplash. You need to know how you want the entire kitchen to look like from layout to fixtures. That will help your kitchen remodel contractor complete your project to your satisfaction.

Kitchen Planning & Design

Kitchen planning is vital whether you are looking for redecorating or layout ideas. Make a list that includes your design aesthetic goals, kitchen layout and what type of storage you are looking for.

When it comes to layout, kitchens come in three shapes:

·        U-shaped

·        L-shaped

·        Gally

Each shape has its advantages and disadvantages regarding cooking convenience, foot traffic and storage. Kitchen shapes can be really difficult to change, so unless you’re planning on a complete kitchen overhaul, you’re probably stuck with the shape you have.

Budget is another important aspect of kitchen planning. Make sure your goals align with your budget. While updating a kitchen can improve the resale value of your home, it depends on how much you spend.

Kitchen Design Ideas

What you can achieve with your kitchen remodel can rely heavily on your budget. When creating a budget, consider the value of your home and what other homes in your neighborhood are selling for. Make sure your kitchen design matches the overall theme of your home. If you live in a country style home, a completely modern kitchen doesn’t make sense. Try to avoid doing anything too trendy, as trends can change quickly. On the other hand, you don’t want to create a completely boring kitchen either.
