Before diving into a renovation, it’s essential to have a plan. This means considering your kitchen’s current layout, what’s working for you, and what needs improvement. A functional kitchen design should prioritize workflow and storage, and your plan should focus on making the space more efficient.

Start by asking yourself:

• Do you need more counter space for meal prep?
• Is your current storage enough, or are your cabinets overflowing?
• How often do you entertain, and would an open-plan design work better for that?

A kitchen renovation can be a significant investment, and costs can quickly add up. Creating a budget from the beginning will help you avoid overspending and keep the project on track.

Consider the following factors when setting your budget:

• Materials: High-quality materials like granite countertops or custom cabinetry can cost more but may be worth the investment in the long run.
• Labor: Don’t forget to factor in costs for contractors, electricians, plumbers, and any other professionals involved.

A beautiful kitchen is important, but it must also be functional. The layout of your kitchen plays a big role in how well it works. The “work triangle” — the optimal placement of the stove, sink, and refrigerator — is a good place to start when thinking about your layout.

Consider these functional upgrades:

• Storage: Custom cabinetry or pull-out shelves can maximize space, while a pantry can keep everything organized.
• Lighting: Good lighting is key in any kitchen. Consider task lighting over work areas and ambient lighting for a warm atmosphere.
• Appliances: Upgrading to energy-efficient appliances can save money in the long run while improving the overall functionality of your kitchen.

A skilled contractor, plumber, electrician, and designer will help bring your vision to life while adhering to building codes and regulations. Discuss your design ideas in detail with the contractor. This will allow him to properly quote your project prior to the start.

Renovations often take longer than expected, so be prepared for some disruption. On average, a kitchen renovation can take anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks depending on the scope of the project.
