RENOVATING THE KITCHEN ?...
.... would be my near future plan. I went online to search on some tips for remodelling a kitchen and these are the basic things that I found very useful:
GREAT TIPS WHEN REMODELLING YOUR KITCHEN
1. Separate your needs from desires. What do you really need and desire in your kitchen. For example, you many need a new kitchen countertop but you may not require a dishwasher which is what you desire.
2. Will the remodelling be worth it? During the remodelling, workers will be around in a certain period of time and it can be messy (the noise, the dust etc). However, think about the long term advantage. Remodelling the kitchen can cause the upsell of the value of the house in the future!
3. What type of renovation do you want? Will a full-scale - changing everything from top to bottom (which can cause thousands and thousands if dollars) reno do it? or just a surface-level (e.g. changing the stoves or fridge, repainting or laminating surfaces only) reno?
4. To reduce the cost of renovation, you may want to think of whether you need to hire a contractor/ pro or doing several things yourself. E.g. buying materials or items which are DIY and be fixed easily without a Pro.
5. Use the Kitchen Planning Rule of Thumb i.e. The Classic Kitchen Triangle. When planning on how the layout of the kitchen should be, this rule allows an easy work flow for the cook/user. There are 3 points in which the cook should be able to move easily from which is from the fridge to the sink and to the stove/oven (illustrated below).
I hope these great tips can allow you to remodel your kitchen better!More tips on your way, so stay tuned! ;oD
