If your current kitchen is too cramped or is looking outdated, kitchen remodeling is a wise undertaking. After all, you should love the heart of your home and want to spend time there. Before you start daydreaming about your new kitchen, it’s helpful to understand the steps that will happen before you’re finished. Learn more about them below, and you’ll be able to start planning for a kitchen you’ll love.

4 Steps to Remodel Your Kitchen

1. Brainstorming

The first step is generating ideas. During this phase, don’t squash ideas. Create mood boards of other kitchens that you admire, and think about the features that you don’t like in your current kitchen. Use online tools such as Houzz.com or Pinterest.com.  You should also meet with a design professional, who can help you refine your ideas based on your current layout and budget. After the meeting, the designer will send you a quote with the estimated cost.

2. The Finer Details

Once the major design elements like cabinets, flooring, and layout are decided, it’s time to move on to the small touches. You’ll pick countertop materials, the hardware and finish you want on the cabinets, and smaller decorative touches. This is also a good time to decide what interior design scheme you want to create.

3. Installation

Over the course of a few months, the new cabinets will be designed and built, and the other elements will be installed as they’re available. Of course, your kitchen remodeling professionals will find a schedule that won’t interfere with your day-to-day life. Their goal is to reduce the stress involved in the process so that you get results you love without tearing your hair out.

4. Finishing Up

As a final step, the design team will give you a walk-through of the new kitchen, explaining any new features that you might be unfamiliar with. This is also the perfect time for you to ask any questions and ensure you’re satisfied.
