Where to Start When Remodeling a Kitchen

Updated: May 6

Kitchens are normally the first room in a house where remodeling takes place. A lot of people are remodeling their kitchens to integrate a more open concept. They want more of a flow within their home from room to room. But there is a lot to take into consideration before you begin demolition and renovating.

Remodeling a Kitchen

First things first, you need to determine a budget that is affordable and reasonable to you according to how much you are willing to spend for the kitchen that you want. When trying to figure out a budget you always want to set a price a little under the maximum you are willing to spend. This way if extra expenses come along or other unexpected costs, you will have a financial cushion for the project.


Next, you need to decide what you need in the kitchen and the type of layout you are looking for. Do all of this while keeping your budget in mind. When a kitchen is going under renovation, we want to make sure we are aiming for quality. If you do it right the first time and put in a little extra money where it is needed, a kitchen will last you a lot longer, saving you money in the end. Focusing on cabinets, countertops, and appliances that are higher quality will also be able to help you with resale value if you plan to sell in the future.


Kitchens are meant to be practical and functional. Make sure when you are remodeling your kitchen you are taking everything into consideration layout wise, and what makes the most sense for you. A great tip is to have your stove, sink, and refrigerator arranged in a triangle formation. This will allow for convenience and space when working in the kitchen. You also want to take into consideration how much counter space is needed to work comfortably and room for openings of cabinets and appliances. The traffic flow in a kitchen is also very important. Make sure there is enough space in the walkways to get by when someone else might be working at the counter.

Once you come up with a plan and budget for your home renovation make sure you stick to it. It can be very tempting to have a new idea and switch something or make a change. This can affect your budget and plan, resulting in spending more money.


Finally, in the remodeling of a kitchen, look at the pre-existing layout and infrastructure. Do not be afraid to explore other layouts or switch your whole kitchen entirely. You are not stuck with one kitchen, there are always other options. Looking at your current infrastructure is something you want to do, especially if you are living in an older home. The age of your current kitchen could also affect the plumbing and electrical installation of newer appliances, so you want to double check and make sure everything lines up.
