Redoing your kitchen is not just about creating a stunning design, but about planning for its practicality as well. This is why it’s important to ask yourself and your builder these important questions as you plan your reno.
Who will build it?
Choosing the right person to execute your plan is possibly the most important step. It’s crucial you find a qualified, professional builder who understands your vision and can not only stick to your budget, but give you the best results possible. A good builder will have a ready team who can carry out your renovation from start to finish, and treat your home with care during the process.
What is my mission?
How do you want your kitchen to function? Are you looking to expand it for a growing family? Perhaps you love to entertain and want a space that’s both organised and inviting for guests. Do you love to cook and how often and for how many people? It’s good to keep these questions in mind as you go from plotting the layout to choosing materials.
What is on my wish list?
What are the nonnegotiables of your kitchen reno? Is it a particular colour, material, finish or fixture? Perhaps you want a breakfast nook or special storage for wine bottles. Inform your builder as early as possible so in case of any issues, they know how to work around it.
What is the best layout?
It’s helpful to know early on where gas and electrical outlets are going to go for each appliance as well as drainage for plumbed items. There should be zones for cooking, washing and prepping. Take into consideration comfortable walkways, whether doors can open safely, and the proximity of appliances.
