Figuring out the details of the renovation can be challenging. Not only do you need to figure out the floor plan, but you also have to find kitchen appliances and pick the right décor. But creating the kitchen of your dreams doesn’t have to be so overwhelming as long as you plan the remodel. Here are some factors to consider before meeting with a renovation contractor.

4 Factors for Starting a Kitchen Remodel

1. Budget

Decide how much you want to spend in total and allocate funds to different aspects of the project, like the cost of flooring, cabinets, windows, and kitchen appliances. Remember, the less you spend on one item, the more you’ll have to allocate towards others.

2. Kitchen Appliances

Every kitchen needs a stovetop, oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher, but are there any other appliances you wish to add? You have the freedom to customize the space to suit your needs, whether that means adding a wine cooler or installing a new induction cooktop to replace a faulty electric unit.

3. Storage

A remodel is the perfect opportunity to add more storage. Incorporating additional cabinets or utilizing the vertical space in your kitchen will allow you to house more cooking equipment and organize dry goods without cramming them.

4. Lighting

The lighting of a room sets its atmosphere immediately. Include natural and artificial light in the space. Think about where you’d like natural light to place windows or even a skylight. Track lighting around the stove and under the cabinets will be out of the way and illuminate a normally dim area to improve visibility while cooking.
