Frequently Asked Questions

Are cabinets lighter or darker than walls?

There are no set rules. This is a completely personal decision that will depend on your kitchen's style, size, and shape. If your kitchen is small, dark cabinets may make it seem smaller and cramped. Lighter cabinets will help brighten the space and make it feel larger.

For large kitchens, dark cabinets can create a cozy and intimate atmosphere. However, lighter cabinets will keep the space bright and open.

Ultimately, it's up to you to decide what look and feel you want for your kitchen and choose the cabinet colour that will help you achieve that. A professional designer can help you make the best choice for your space if you are still not sure.

When remodelling a kitchen, do you do floors or cabinets first?

It all depends on how you install your floor. Before you can install floating floors, make sure to install your counters and cabinets first. For glue-down or nail-down flooring options, you need to install your flooring first and then install your cabinets. Talk to a professional about which option is best for your kitchen remodel.

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

They can be placed side by side, provided there is enough space. This isn't a good practice for kitchen design. This can lead to wasted space and cramped kitchens. It is better to have the refrigerator and stove in separate areas of the kitchen. This facilitates a more efficient workflow while making the kitchen feel bigger.

Choose your Layout – Once you've decided how much you can afford, the next step will be to choose where you want to install your new kitchen. There are several different layouts, including open concept, peninsula, galley, L-shape, U-shape, and corner. Each layout comes with its pros and disadvantages, so make sure you choose the one that is most suitable for your needs.
Select your Materials - After you have chosen the layout for your kitchen, it is time to pick materials. This covers everything, from countertops and cabinets to flooring and lighting. There are many choices available so it is important to research and choose the right materials for you.
Hire professionals - Once your materials have been selected, you will want to hire a professional who is experienced in kitchen construction. A good contractor will ensure everything goes smoothly, from design to installation. A good contractor will also offer follow-up services so that you don't have any worries during the installation process.
