While kitchen remodeling can help you completely transform your space for the better, there is no denying that the remodeling period can be stressful. After all, you use the kitchen every day, and during remodeling, this area will be partly or completely inaccessible. Here are some crucial tips to help you manage.

How to Get Through a Kitchen Remodel

1. Set Up a Temporary Kitchen

Many homeowners set up a “temporary kitchen” to use during remodeling. This kitchen should be in a low-traffic area far from the construction zone, preferably near water (like the bathroom or laundry room). Stock this space with items like a mini fridge, microwave, toaster oven, and a slow cooker. Plastic bins can provide cabinet space, while folding tables can serve as countertops and dining tables.

2. Plan Easy Meals

With a temporary kitchen, you’ll want to make meal prep as simple as possible. There’s nothing wrong with a microwave dinner! Since you won’t have access to the kitchen sink or dishwasher, choose options that require little cleanup—such as using a liner in your slow cooker. Take-out is always a stress-free option as well.  

3. Get Out of the House

Staying home while workers are remodeling the kitchen can be stressful, especially if you are trying to keep kids or pets away from the construction zone. While blocking off the area with baby gates can help, many homeowners find it easiest to leave the house. Go camping, take your kids to the park, or visit friends and family. This will help you de-stress, too.
