What should I consider first when remodelling my kitchen?

There is no single solution to this question, as everyone has different priorities. However, some things to consider include the room's layout, the type of appliances you want, the style of cabinets and countertops you prefer, and any storage needs you have.

Once you have made your decision on your must-haves and are confident in your choices, you can begin to look at various kitchen designs. It's a good idea to start with big-ticket items such as appliances and cabinets and then add the details like paint colours or light fixtures if you have a tight budget.

Take it one step at a while to make sure your kitchen remodel is exactly what you want.

Can a stove or refrigerator be placed side-by side?

If there is enough room for both appliances, they can be placed side-by-side. It is not recommended in kitchen design. This can result in wasted space and cramped spaces. It is better if the stove and fridge are located in different kitchen areas. This creates a more efficient workflow, and the kitchen feels larger.

How To

How to design a kitchen layout

Although there's no perfect layout for a kitchen, some layouts work well in certain spaces. Here are some ways to create a kitchen layout that suits your space.

Start with the essentials. The first step in determining what you have in your kitchen is to decide what can be sacrificed. You may not require a large oven or stove if you don’t cook a lot.
The traffic flow is important. The second step is to think about how you and your family use your kitchen, and how traffic flows through it. You'll want to ensure enough room to move around freely without bumping into each other.
Maximize storage. The third step of maximising storage is in the kitchen. This applies to both cookware and food storage. You will want to ensure that everything has a home and is easily accessible.
Incorporate your style. The fourth step is to incorporate your style into the kitchen layout. This covers everything from the cabinets and countertops, to the flooring and appliances. Pick materials and finishes that suit your style.
A professional is recommended. The fifth and final step is to work with a professional kitchen designer. They will help you to create a layout that fits all of your needs.
