If you’re a homeowner in Anaheim, you either love the idea of remodeling your kitchen or your dread it. Kitchen remodeling can mean a fresh start for some homeowners and a major expense to others. No matter how you view your kitchen remodel, there are some important factors to keep in mind throughout the project to ensure that the final result is affordable, on schedule, and functional for your home. Here we will be discussing some of these important items to check off of your list to for the best remodeling experience possible.
Use of Space
While it may seem obvious that your kitchen will be used primarily for cooking, it’s important to consider other activities that may occur in this space. For example, your kitchen may be your favorite area to entertain guests, have the children work on their homework, or even check a few emails over your morning coffee. The important thing is that you know the overall goal for the room, and can design the best space possible to meet these goals. Design features based on goals may include a breakfast nook, an extended kitchen island, or a separate kitchen window. Whatever features you choose to add on, be sure it corresponds with the purpose of the room.
Size and Flow
When mapping out the design for your kitchen it’s important to keep in mind the needs of your family. You will need to take into consideration factors like how many people live in your home, how many people are likely to be using the kitchen at the same time and for what purposes. These questions will help you create a fluid design with enough space to avoid feeling cramped while preparing your meals.
Storage Space
Before falling in love with cabinets and drawers, it’s important to know the type of storage space you’ll need. Often, this answer is determined by the amount of preexisting countertop space you have, the size of your appliances, and how much you plan on tucking away. This will help you decide the height and width of your cabinets and where to place them for optimal organization.
Your Budget
Too many homeowners enter remodeling projects without first figuring out their budget. As you can guess, this often results in the homeowner paying for much more than they ever intended to pay. Sit down and find a reasonable budget within your price range and speak with a designer to know what will and will not work to stay within this price range.
