Kitchen remodels can be a great change for your home, but they take a lot of time and planning to make sure they’re done right.

As a new homeowner, you’ve gone through a lot of transitions recently, including moving into your new home, buying new furniture, and making your the home your own. If you saw excellent potential in the kitchen to become your dream space, follow these tips for starting your residential remodel.

Planning

Be sure to plan the work so that you can then, work the plan. This includes having a clear vision in mind for the purpose of the space. What purposes will your kitchen remodel serve? What elements does it have now that you want to carry forward in your new design? What about the current layout absolutely needs to change? Think about the things that you’ll need and what you can do without. Ultimately, the most successful kitchen remodels come down to function and style. The planning phase will also include proposing a schedule for the project and gathering some of your initial ideas for the style and layout.

Research

It’s imperative that you do extensive research before taking on a residential remodel. Be sure that you ask for help and expert advice. If a friend or family member has recently gone through the process, ask them for some guidance about where to start. A professional contractor and designer will also have a lot of valuable information to give you about putting the pieces together for your remodel. To gather and organize your ideas, you may even benefit from creating a vision board where you can see all of your ideas and how well they look together. Again, evaluate your needs to ensure that you will be filling the space with appliances and other features that work the best for your family.     

Budget

Nothing moves without money. Therefore, it’s important to take an honest and detailed look at your finances to decide how extensive your remodel can be. Set your budget and be sure to include labor, appliances, furniture, and emergency fixes in your numbers.

Style

Go back to your vision board and be sure to include colors, patterns, and fabrics that inspire you. Open your favorite catalogs, watch your favorite shows, and even visit your neighbor’s homes for design ideas. Don’t sacrifice the function of your kitchen for style by thinking about your long-term use in the space.
