Renovating Your Kitchen – Here’s Some Things to Consider

Our team has the expert knowledge and a wealth of experience to call on, which we bring to every job, resulting in a superb finish and a kitchen that not only looks good but can take the hard knocks of family living.
Some Key Aspects to Consider When Planning Your Kitchen Renovation:
- What is the size of your household?
- What is the function of your kitchen – a centre of family life, for entertaining?
- What body height do you want benches etc?
- Will the people cooking in the kitchen be left handed or right handed – this can determine layout.
Why Do You Want To Renovate?
If you think about why you want to renovate it can help with the planning stage for your new kitchen.
- Is it because you want to add value to your home, or improve it for resell?
- Do you want to add space to accommodate a growing family?
- Do you want to change the flow of the house, or to improve views, orientation or access to natural lighting?
- Are you just after a more modern look?
- Do you want to restore a villa or character home so it’s more in keeping with the age and/or style of the home?
These questions can help you decide how much time and money you want to put into your kitchen renovation.
How Much is Your Budget?
Your budget will be a big determining factor on what you can and cannot have in your new kitchen, although a lot can be done on a smaller budget with careful consideration.
If your budget is limited, and most people do have a limit, think about the ‘must haves’ and the ‘nice to haves’ and be prepared to drop some of the ‘nice to haves’ if the budget doesn’t stretch that far.
