At first, planning a new kitchen may seem like a simple process. However, deciding on materials, layouts, styles, and appliances can be a challenge. Luckily, planning and executing a lovely kitchen is much easier with the help of professional remodelers. Here are a few things to consider when planning your new kitchen:
Who will use the kitchen?
Your kitchen should be somewhat tailored to the person who does the most cooking. If he or she is right handed, for example, you should arrange the appliances and cabinets to allow for easy access. You should also make allowances for height, cooking style, and preferred number of kitchen helpers.
When do you plan to sell?
If you plan on living in your home for the rest of your life, you should customize your kitchen to your heart’s content. If you plan on selling your home within the next 10 years, you might select a more generic design that will please a wide range of prospective home buyers. If done right, a kitchen remodel can bring in a 70-80% return on investment.
Where will you eat and entertain?
If your family is used to eating in the kitchen, you might want to consider an ideal eating place in your new kitchen, too. You can also design your new kitchen with guests in mind— a broad, open kitchen design is ideal for entertaining while preparing meals.
Do you have any time or budgetary concerns?
Depending on the scale, a kitchen remodel can last anywhere from a day to five months. Before you finalize your plans, you should decide on a maximum budget and time frame. Your remodeler can work with you to make the project is completed on a timeline and budget that best suits you.
