You still have time to renovate the kitchen and meet the new cold furnishings when the most delicious cookies are cooked and baked pastries and everyone is at home. However, to make sense of the repair, it’s a good idea to get a few things clear before you start.
What I want to change in the way I use the kitchen
Will you be able to invite friends in the kitchen, have more workspace, and set up a corner for the youngest chef in the family? When you do the repair, you can achieve more than just changing obsolete furniture and appliances with new ones. It is enough to formulate very clearly what you really want to do in your upgraded kitchen. Be as specific as possible. Defining your goal once, the decision how to achieve it will come easily.
What would be the maximum capacity of the kitchen and how often I would use it
We clarify:
1) how many people should be able to prepare food in your kitchen;
2) how often it will happen to you.
Every day you can cook for two, up to three people, or on holidays, or once a year, or every month, once you have to prepare food for a dozen people.
Knowing the capacity of your kitchen and how often you use it helps you choose the appliances, their different types of functions and size.
From what I can save and from which not
If you have an unlimited budget, you do not need such wonders. But if your case is not, and you are about to choose, think about the following:
-if you buy more expensive, it will improve your everyday life; will increase the value of your home;
-you really need a stellar washing machine and a dishwasher; will you use them?
-how long you can keep your liked furniture in good condition, how long it will resist the nails of the pet or the children’s markers.
If you do not mind washing your dishes by hand, but you adore cooking, it is clear where you need to focus more money. In a stove with the features and extras you want, of course.
A beautiful kitchen
The finishing work, the details, the appliances in a non-traditional color, some materials – these are the things that make a kitchen look very high – beautiful, luxurious, dear.
The distribution of the cabinets, their way of opening, the material of the worktop, the location of the furniture and the appliances, the possibility of putting two sinks – these are the things that are important for the functionality of the kitchen.
In most cases, unless you really have an unlimited budget, compromises are inevitable. Take a preliminary decision on what’s more important to you. Treat him with the way you want to use the kitchen, how often you cook, knowing if in the foreseeable future you will have money to replace some things to compensate for the compromises currently made.
Which is more important to me – to be fast or to become as I want
During the repair, you have to make decisions like: “Wait a month to get the tiles I want or put some others that I like less but are available.” If you have not answered the above question in advance, you are likely to make the wrong decision.
You can refresh your kitchen for an upcoming event and you can not postpone the repair even with a day. And maybe just be nervous and want everything to end faster. Whatever you decide, remember that repairing the kitchen is a time consuming, labor-intensive and expensive undertaking and you do not do it every year.
