Things to Consider with a Kitchen Remodel

When thinking about redoing your kitchen, you will find that the Property Pros team can help guide you. We can show you how to rethink the space.

For example, you can gain space by removing or bumping out walls, and/or reconfiguring the layout. You can add storage through cabinetry, closets, and under counters. You will be surprised how a little creativity can offer all kinds of new ways to rethink your home and design your new dream kitchen.

Kitchen Remodeling Transforms Your Kitchen into a Stunning and Functional Space

If you’re eager to transform your kitchen into a beautiful and highly functional space, there are certain items to consider. You want to think about what is missing in your current kitchen and what you wished you could have – more counter space, a larger refrigerator, a wine cooler, a wet bar, an island with a cooking range – you can see there are lots of things you could wish for.

There are 4 main things to consider:

1. Planning Your Kitchen Remodel

Before removing one piece of Formica, it’s crucial to have a solid plan in place. Planning sets the foundation for a successful project. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind:

● Assess Your Needs and Goals: Evaluate your current kitchen and identify its shortcomings. Determine your goals for the remodel, such as improving aesthetics, storage, efficiency, or workflow.

● Set a Budget: Establish a budget by researching the average costs of materials, appliances, labor, and additional expenses. Allocate a contingency fund for unexpected surprises. We can help you get a pretty good estimate. We also want you to have a realistic idea of what things can cost and if you want certain high-priced items such as granite countertops, you may need to go with less expensive flooring.

● Hire a Professional – Consider the time and experience that Property Pros can bring to the project. We understand the complexity of a kitchen remodel. We arrive on time and get the job done. Can there be setbacks? – maybe, but with careful planning and preparation, we can both end up with a job well done.

2. Designing Your Dream Kitchen

Once you have a solid plan in place, it’s time to move on to the exciting design phase. Designing your dream kitchen involves creating a space that seamlessly blends functionality and visual appeal.

● Maximize Functionality: Incorporate the work triangle concept to ensure a smooth workflow. The work triangle is a time-tested guideline of kitchen design that helps plan out efficient kitchen workspaces with clear traffic lanes. You want the ability to easily move from cooking to sink (cleaning) and storage (pantry, refrigerator) with enough space between them to avoid crowding.

Kitchen designers can also adopt a work zone approach for the layout, recognizing that in a multi-tasking home, space can be multi-tasking as well. The goal is to optimize the layout, spacing, and traffic flow to create an efficient cooking space.

● Choose Quality Materials: Invest in high-quality materials for durability as well as aesthetics. Select cabinets, countertops, flooring, and backsplashes that can stand the test of time.

● Lighting: Embrace natural lighting by incorporating more windows, skylights, and even light-colored finishes to enhance natural light. This creates a welcoming atmosphere and makes your kitchen appear more spacious. In addition, choose lighting to brighten work areas and set the tone over dining areas.

3. Essential Kitchen Features and Appliances

As you move forward with your kitchen remodeling project, there are certain features and appliances that can greatly enhance your overall cooking experience. Here are a few to consider:

Energy-Efficient Appliances: Look for appliances with the ENERGY STAR label to reduce utility bills and minimize environmental impact.
● Smart Home Integration: Incorporate voice-activated assistants, smart appliances, and lighting systems for convenience and efficiency in your daily routine.
● Ample Storage Solutions: Maximize storage space with cabinets, drawers, and innovative storage solutions. Declutter your kitchen and make it more efficient to use.
