Most people agree that their kitchen remodel adds value to their home’s price and intrinsic value as well. Before diving into a kitchen remodel, there are a couple of things you need to know.

  1. Your Budget. A budget has to be established before you go shopping for new appliances. You must carefully plan your kitchen remodel so that you have enough cash for not only new cabinets, appliances, and flooring but also for moving plumbing and electrical where needed. There are other costs as well such as new ventilation, hardware, and labor. Some experts suggest capping the kitchen remodel budget at 15% of what your home is worth.
  2. Create a Design Plan.You need to create a design plan and blueprint for your kitchen remodel. Know the measurements of the space you have. You should also know the measurements for the appliances you will be looking for, cabinet length and height, and more. You’ll want to make note of where electrical sockets are, what the voltage is, where pipes and plumbing are and don’t forget about doors and windows.
  3. Research Appliances.There are a whole lot of options to choose from when it comes to appliances. There are energy saving and environmentally friendly appliances, those that are ultra-efficient, space savings and more. You should know the kind of appliances you are looking for and an estimated cost so that you can fit them into your budget. Other considerations for appliances will be the material and color.
  4. Color Scheme. The color scheme will be a part of your design plan, but it is one of the first things you should think about. If you have an open concept kitchen that adjoins another room, you should make sure that your color schemes will flow together for a cohesive look. You’ll want to consider floor color and materials, wall paint, cabinet color, backsplash or mosaic designs, as well as any decorations or theme you may want to incorporate.
