4 Things to Consider When Remodeling Your Kitchen

kitchen cabinets

Kitchen remodeling is one of the most popular home improvement projects. This is also one of the projects with the most impressive return on investment. However, to get the best result from your remodel, there are several things you need to consider. For instance, you need to spend a considerable amount of time thinking and planning for your kitchen cabinets. Here are other things to consider.

1. Stick to Your Schedule

There are so many things that need planning when it comes to kitchen remodeling. This is why you shouldn’t rush to demolish your kitchen. You need to have all your appliances, kitchen cabinets, plumbing fixtures, and other major components in place. You need to make sure that you take the proper measurements and that your kitchen cabinets and appliances fit together perfectly. Make a schedule so you know when the plumber, tile setter, electrician, and other contractors are coming. This helps to ensure you do everything in an orderly fashion.

2. Take Time to Think About the Layout

Your kitchen’s layout is one of the most important things to think about when you’re tackling a remodel. For instance, you shouldn’t just assume that you can eliminate any wall you want if your plan is to open the kitchen up to other rooms. Some of the walls are load-bearing, so you can’t break them without compromising the structural integrity of your home. A lot of homeowners also generally assume that things like the sink, stove, and fridge have to stay where they are. That couldn’t be further from the truth. While these things can be expensive to move, you can certainly move them if you want to.

3. Choose Your Kitchen Cabinetry

Another thing that you have to be thoughtful about is your kitchen cabinets. To get the most out of your kitchen cabinets, you need to invest in custom and semi-custom designs. According to U.S. sources, the majority of homeowners who remodeled their kitchens went for these designs so they could have more control over the layout. The best thing to do when it comes to kitchen cabinets is to get an interior designer to work with you so you can get the most in terms of floor space and storage space.

4. Have a Lighting Plan

The kitchen should never be a dark place. This is why you need to take the time and plan for your lighting. At the very least, you need to get ambient lighting for general illumination. You also need to have enough task lighting for food preparation. If you want to hit two birds with one stone, recessed lights would be a good option. However, choosing the right lights is the first step. You also need to know where to place them. If you install the lights in the wrong location, you will end up working in your shadow. A great idea would be to center a line of recessed lights directly over your countertop.

These are some of the things to consider when remodeling your kitchen. If you’re ready to get started working on your kitchen remodeling project, reach out to Cabinets by C&F today.
