Thinking about remodeling the kitchen? It may seem like anything from a daunting task to a fun and exciting project but before you get going, here are a few aspects to consider that may save you time, money and maybe even a few headaches.

The Layout

• Can you work with the existing layout? You can cut the costs a bit by using the space already existing for cabinets, counters, islands and flooring.
• Also, where do you plan on putting the table, chairs, stools and appliances? This will help create the optimal layout.
• Storage Space – Adding cabinet space can help provide a spot for your special dishes for holidays or cooking/baking dishes you seldom use.

Refresh What You Have

• If you’re itching to remodel the kitchen but don’t have money for a full renovation in the budget, smaller upgrades like cabinet doors and hardware are a great way to really enhance the look of the room. New backsplash as well as updated countertops and even fixtures are a great way to go as well. Don’t forget the floors either – going from vinyl flooring to wood floors or laminate adds a modern twist and can help pull a room together.

What Kind of Cook Are You?

• Do you like to make every meal epic? When deciding on your new kitchen, make sure to have the proper countertops installed and sink features to really make mealtime prep easier. Having a hanging pots and pans rack is a great way to free up space and make grabbing the necessary equipment easy. There are also custom counter features available to maximize the meal preparation process.
• Are you a mac and cheese in the microwave kind of food preparer? If you don’t care to make the meal a masterpiece then simple countertops will suffice. Why go with features you don’t intend on using?
