For any large job, renovation can be agonizing and expensive. Usually, we all turn to kitchen professionals to ensure we save money and get the job done faster without any problems or errors. But how do you know what to do and what to choose for your brand new kitchen? In this article we are going to give you some tips so you can see what would be best to create a luxury kitchen and also what to do for the renovation.
1. Create a center island before buying one
A central island is always the best solution if you want more counter space and more storage. It is also very sophisticated and fills empty space. However, an island can limit the number of people in the kitchen, reduce traffic flow in one direction, and make your kitchen look cramped. We advise you to build one before purchasing one. You can make a large-scale model out of cardboard or plywood and put it in your kitchen. However, make sure to place it away from your stove and refrigerator to open them without problems. If you realize there is no space for an island, you can always put a kitchen cart in its place.
2. Make a temporary kitchen
After dismantling all your furniture in the old kitchen to put in new ones, you can still use them. If you set up a temporary kitchen in your house, you can still cook, wash dishes (etc), while the other one is being renovated. If you can, save some cabinets and countertops to build your temporary kitchen.
3. Create space for a mini office
Some people like to use their kitchen as an office. If you want to avoid cluttering your worktops with your belongings, you can always incorporate a small office into your renovation. Make sure you have a small corner with a computer. Put internet and outlets to plug in your computer equipment. Additionally, you can add storage space like shelves or a wall cabinet .
4. Make space for a larger refrigerator
You have decided to put in new furniture, but you want to keep your old refrigerator. Make sure you leave enough space between cabinets so that you can replace your refrigerator with a larger model if you want to change it later. To do this, you can use filler strips or panels. Be sure to order the filler strips and panels with your new furniture to coordinate everything. Oak kitchen cabinets are very sophisticated and beautiful as well as oak panels and moldings.
5. Pay attention to the problem of opening on the ground
If you want to replace your furniture but not your floors, pay attention to any gaps between the old floor and the new furniture. Your new furniture may not match the existing footprint. Before purchasing, make sure the new furniture matches the width of the furniture you are replacing. If they don’t match, you can always fill the holes with moldings.
6. Measure countertops and furniture
To avoid any sort of surprise you must measure the installed furniture before ordering the worktops, do not use construction plans! Your cabinets may have a different dimension after installation due to non-perpendicular walls. Place a square in the corner of the furniture. Measure to the farthest point to avoid an unoptimized space between the counter and the wall after installing the countertop.
7. Add storage racks under the wall cabinet
Sliding storage gives you instant access to kitchen essentials without cluttering up spice baskets or knife holders. When you have finished cooking, push the storage against the underside of the cabinet. If you want to build it yourself, you can buy a pair of hinges and make your own wooden shelf to hold knives or other small items. Otherwise, you can purchase ready-made supports at the store.
8. Use unused storage space
Brackets on the kitchen backsplash are often used for decorative ideas. They can be very stylish and useful at the same time, and they give you plenty of storage. Plus, they are easy to install, it will only take you a few minutes to put them in place. You have lots of styles available at any price! We recommend stainless steel; it’s easier to clean.
9. Choose modern worktops and wooden cabinets
Nowadays, the renovation ideas for a luxury kitchen are endless. To add modernity to your kitchen countertop, you can put marble, granite, quartz, stainless steel, concrete and much more. You will really see the difference! As for your cabinets, wood is a great solution and it requires minimal maintenance. We recommend oak kitchen cabinets and wall cabinets for the greatest luxury.
10. Put in low-voltage track lighting
Every kitchen needs good lighting. You can always install low-voltage track lighting to brighten your kitchen if you can’t get a lot of natural light. The system is easy to install with basic tools and can be done in less than a day. This lighting will mainly focus on the modern counter and highlight it. As you know, lighting is one of the most important things in the kitchen, so make sure you have the right light.
