How to Get the Most Value Out of Your Next Kitchen Remodel

A complete kitchen remodel can feel like quite a daunting undertaking as a homeowner. If you’ve decided that this is the year you are going to invest in a kitchen upgrade, then you’ll want to think carefully about how to get the best value out of this work.

Today we’re going to share a complete guide to working with kitchen remodelers and creating the kitchen of your dreams.

1. Research Kitchen Remodeling Companies

Kitchen remodeling companies are usually the most popular option when it comes to fully replacing your current kitchen setup. When you are purchasing any product or service today, you want to take your time to research the company and ensure they are a good fit for you. Most companies have reviews on Google or social media sites today, which will allow you to see what previous customers thought about their work.

They should also be willing to answer any questions you have about working together or the project you have in mind. You’ll soon be able to tell from your initial interactions with a company if they have the time to work on your kitchen remodel. Don’t rush the decision of who you work with even if you are short of time, as this is one of the most important choices you’ll make during the process.

2. Choose Your Flooring Carefully

One of the first considerations when working with kitchen remodeling contractors is to choose the flooring for your kitchen. Tiles are a popular solution for kitchen floors, but you may find that certain types of tiles crack after a few years.

This can lead to expensive replacement flooring or the concern of not being able find matching tiles further down the line. If you go for wooden floors or linoleum flooring, these can both be very easy to clean but can also suffer from wear and tear after a while.

3. Plan Your Paint Colors

4. Opt for High-Quality Appliances

The appliances that you purchase when working with kitchen remodelers will have a huge impact on how much you enjoy spending time in your kitchen. Spending a little extra on appliances that will make cooking easier will soon make your kitchen one of your favorite places to spend time.

Buying a high-quality oven that will last for many years is well worth paying a bit more money for, so allocate your budget carefully in this area. At the same time, there are other parts of the upgrade and pieces of equipment that you can save money on to help even out your spending.

5. Install Hard-Wearing Countertops

Your kitchen countertops go through a lot during their life, so you’ll want to make sure you choose a material that’s durable and hardwearing. Look for countertops that you can put hot pots and pans on, as this will save you from risking burning plastic or other materials.

There are some materials which also won’t get scratched by knives, which are ideal for anyone who loves to cook. We typically recommend darker countertops in kitchens to disguise mess and debris and ones that are easy to wipe down when you are finished with your cooking for the day.

6. Create a Light and Airy Kitchen

The kitchen is often considered to be the heart of the family home, which is why you want to make it somewhere that you and your family will enjoy spending time. For that reason, you need to ensure there’s a lot of natural light in your kitchen. However, we know this isn’t possible with many home designs, which is why you may need to add extra lights to your kitchen in strategic spots.

Focus on the areas where you’ll be preparing food and will need to be able to see well and the places where you may sit to eat if you also have a dining area in your kitchen. You can fit lights underneath cupboards or on the walls to create a brighter and lighter aesthetic if you struggle to get any natural light in the room.

7. Don’t Rush Your Research and Planning Stage

Homeowners and kitchen remodelers are often so excited to start working on a new project that they rush through the planning stage. You want to consider all of the elements we shared above before you start work, instead of panicking at the end that your kitchen isn’t getting enough light. By taking the time to look at the bigger picture and how all of the individual elements will come together to create a beautiful kitchen, you’ll make this a room you want to spend hours in each day.

Remember, your kitchen should be a combination of practical and stylish and should contain all of the elements that you need to make the meals that you and your family require each day. If you have kids or pets, also think about safety when creating a new kitchen so that everyone is welcome in the room.
