Where to Begin When Renovating Your Kitchen

How Do I Know Where to Begin When Renovating My Kitchen

You’ve been pondering over kitchen renovation for a while now; your scrapbooks and Pinterest boards are packed to the hilt, you’ve saved your pennies, scoped out dream appliances and visited more kitchen showrooms than you care to recall, what’s next?
When the time comes to greenlight your kitchen renovation, it is smart to sit down with Adelaide’s kitchen design professionals at Hills Robes and Kitchens, who will help you to map out your new kitchen and determine how all of these beautiful finishes and sleek appliances will integrate with your existing kitchen space.

Consider our four essential planning stages before your kitchen renovation gets underway:

Kitchen Goals

What do you want to achieve with your new cooking space? Sure, a style update is fantastic, but what features do you need? How many people do the cooking? Does your family regularly gather in the kitchen? Would you like an eat-in kitchen, or large breakfast bar? Will you need to extend and remodel to achieve your vision, or are you happy to work within your existing layout?

When you choose Adelaide’s kitchen renovation specialists Hills Robes and Kitchens, one of our design specialists will meet with you in your home and assist in the planning of a functional, beautiful kitchen that is customised to your needs. Our specialised 3D design software will bring your kitchen vision to life, including your chosen appliances and finishes, allowing you to make any desired changes, and visualise the end result.

Dollars and Sense

If you have a firm budget that you must work within, meeting with an experienced kitchen designer is essential, as they will advise you of what alterations and finishes are realistic for you. It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to make major structural changes with a minimal budget, but you can certainly make some stylish and functional updates with your kitchen renovation. Our Adelaide design team will advise of the fantastic range of products we have on offer, from budget-friendly to luxe.

Scope it Out

Even if money is no object, it is necessary to determine the scope of your kitchen project; will you require major electrical and plumbing? Will you need new flooring? How many trades will be required? How long will your kitchen be out of action? The kitchen renovation specialists at Adelaide’s Hills Robes and Kitchens can help you answer all of these questions and ensure that your kitchen renovation will be a smooth process with no surprises.

Prepare for D-Day

Kitchen renovation usually takes around 4-6 weeks, depending on the scope of renovation. Before demolition commences, some careful planning can save your sanity. Clear out cupboards and drawers in advance, place your kitchenware in sealed tubs and label everything! Consider whether you’ll live elsewhere during the renovation, or grin and bear it at home. If anyone in the family has asthma or allergies, it is advisable to vacate, at least while demolition takes place.

If you’re going to tough it out at home, set up a temporary kitchen with a few essentials and get well-acquainted with microwave dinners for a while. When you choose Adelaide’s leading name in kitchen renovation, Hills Robes and Kitchens, you can rest assured that the end result will be well worth any temporary inconvenience.
