How To Plan For Kitchen
Remodeling
by: Johnathan Bakers
Kitchen remodeling is one of the most desirable home improvement
projects for many homeowners. A new kitchen increases the value of your
home and makes your life easier. The first step to your new kitchen is to
set a budget. Decide how much money you are willing to spend. This will
help drive your other decisions. Be sure to leave a cushion in your budget
for additional, unexpected expenses.
When determining your budget, consider how long you intend to stay in
your home. If you are planning to sell in the next year or so, you may
want to spend less money. Decide which features you must have in your new
kitchen. You can cut corners in other areas by substituting less expensive
materials for the counter tops, flooring or cabinet doors.
Research Kitchen Trends
Before you start planning your remodeling project, do some research on
the current trends and designs being used in kitchens. Look for
information on the internet or in home decorating magazines. Visit your
local home improvement center for more ideas. Start a file for pictures of
kitchens you love, furniture, appliances, fabric swatches or anything else
you find interesting. This will help when you are ready to start
purchasing items for your new room.
Options in Kitchen Remodeling
Cabinets are an expensive item in any remodeling project. They often
take up half of the overall budget for the room. If you can't afford the
cost of brand new cabinets, there are cheaper alternatives. Consider
cabinet refacing rather than replacing the entire cabinet. In refacing,
the doors are replaced and exterior wood areas are covered. This is much
less expensive since you are using the same cabinets. An even cheaper
alternative is to paint your existing cabinets and buy new hardware.
If you must have new cabinets, consider adding some extra features.
Features such as tilt out drawers, pull out garbage cans or a lazy Susan
inside a corner cabinet are great space savers and make the room more
functional. The doors can be either solid wood, clear glass or stained
glass. Shop around to find out what is available before making a purchase.
You can save money on flooring and countertops as well. Substitute
vinyl flooring in place of more expensive ceramic tile to save money. If
you can install ceramic tiles yourself, you can have them for about the
price you would pay a contractor to install vinyl flooring.
Countertops vary widely in price depending on the material that is
used. Counters that are more durable are also more expensive. You may want
this if you want to be able to cut food directly on the counter. For most
people, this is an easy way to cut the overall cost of your kitchen. You
can find less expensive material that gives the look of marble, butcher's
block or other expensive materials.
Once you have decided what you want, consider how much of the job you
can do yourself. Contractors can eat up a large portion of your budget.
The more you can do, the more you will save in the overall cost of the
room. Use the savings for great new furniture.
