Planning a kitchen renovation can be an exciting yet daunting task. A well-planned renovation ensures a smooth process and an end result that meets your expectations. Follow this step-by-step guide to planning a kitchen renovation. We will cover everything you need to get you started, from budget planning, Pinterest inspiration to booking a consultation appointment.

 

Define your budget and goals

Clearly plan out your renovation goals. Are you looking for a complete kitchen overhaul or minor upgrades? Establish a realistic budget, considering all possible costs, including materials, labour, and unforeseen expenses.

 

Plan and bring your ideas to life

Explore magazines, websites, and social media for design inspiration. Pinterest is an amazing source for inspiration. You can create specific mood boards for each element of your kitchen renovation. Create a vision board or folder to collate your favourite ideas, colours, materials, and layouts. This will help you convey your preferences to designers and contractors.

 

Consult with professionals

Engage with designers and contractors to discuss your vision and budget. You can book a consultation appointment with a dedicated design team at Torbitts here. Seek their advice on optimising space, selecting appropriate materials, and adhering to local building codes. 

 

Create a detailed design plan

Work closely with your Torbitts designer to create a design plan. From this, we can cover all elements that encompass layout, appliance placement, colour schemes, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, lighting, and more. Ensure the design aligns with your lifestyle and cooking habits. Make the space work for you and your family’s needs. 

 

Select quality materials and appliances

Choose durable and stylish materials that fit within your budget. Research and invest in high-quality appliances that suit your needs and complement the overall design of your kitchen.

 

Establish a timeline

Work with your contractor to establish a realistic project timeline. Define milestones and completion dates for various phases of the renovation to keep the project on track.
