There are many reasons why you may want to remodel your kitchen. It could be that the kitchen is a disaster or you may just need to freshen up the place. Even after this, there are other factors to consider in any kitchen remodeling plans. Do you want to spend extended periods doing this or having work crews in your house? Do you want to spend money doing this and if so how much? Will the remodeling be surface level renovation or deep-down?
Once you have determined what you want, look up ideas on how to go about it. Since renovation usually starts with a design, consider its convenience, organization and functionality. kitchen remodeling plan designs are plenty and the challenge will not be locating one but rather deciding which one among the many you will employ. You will want to select a design that employs the 3 elements in a balanced way. A layout like the drive-through is designed for a dual entrance and exit on opposite ends of your kitchen. If you have a small house with a lot of traffic, this is a great layout to have. Another design is the U-Turn. This layout has an open floor plan that overlooks the living or dining room. This layout provides the most storage, functionality and most cabinets depending on the size of your kitchen. Other designs include the Corner which provides a lot of counter space and storage below, the Arrow and the Corral. Whichever design you choose, there are universal points that apply to all of these designs; triangulation, which provides best functionality by aligning sinks, ranges and refrigeration in a triangular form, provide ample space for countertop areas, keep dishwashers within sink distance, approximately 3 feet, keep kitchen isles to at least 42 inches wide and any cabinet doors installed should not hit when they are opened.
kitchen remodeling plans also means that you budget how you will spend on the entire project. Decide in advance how much you want to spend and stick to it. Determine also the cost breakdown. For example how will go into cabinets, floors, fixtures, fittings and other things that need renovation. kitchen remodeling plans always has some unexpected surprises, thus ensure that you set aside about 20 percent of the budget to these occurrences. Remember also to prioritize your renovations. What is more important to you? New cabinets or new appliances? Writing down a list of priorities will help. With your idea, priorities and cash at hand, you can now start your kitchen remodeling plans.

Alright I have one day to get an answer, but I’m debating whether to remodel my kitchen. I live in a studio valued at about 0k. The appliances are white and not horrible, but I got a good deal on some nice stainless steel apps. The apps with total instaliation will come to k and I would like to get granite counters for an additional k. Do you think pumping in money to a studio is a waste? Give me some of your opinions please!

We just remodeled 1 and a half bathrooms. We’re planning on updating the kitchen and painting the house and painting rooms. Anyone have any experience with this? What else is appealing to buyers?

I’m finally getting rid of my 1961 kitchen and can’t make up my mind! I have hard oak floors throughout the house..including the dining room which is open to the kitchen. I’d like to put in cork floors (& be somewhat "green" in my remodeling) in the kitchen and think it would blend nice with the oak floors (unless someone thinks of something else?) I can’t decide what would look better..maple or natural cherry cabinets. The kitchen is only 10×13 and will be putting in 40" cabinets since I have a cathedral ceiling…does cherry and oak clash? Too much natural wood tones going on? I’d like to put a apron front / farm sink in, granite countertops and tin backsplash..those I do know I want… I need a professional designer but that’s definately not in the budget. All opinions and suggestions are welcome….I have to order cabinets within 2 weeks!!! Thanks All !!
I can’t go too modern with a house full of antiques..i’m in the country and am shooting for a modern/classic/simple country feel..with stainless appliances of course. I did not want oak cabinets, but with oak floors it makes sense. it’s a starter house and resale is everything..what do people like?

cabinet remodel.
We’d love to get hardwoods put in our kitchen, and we plan on redoing the cabinets and buying new appliances as we have the funds. Currently, the floor is all we can afford. Should we go for it or buy appliances instead (around the same amount in $$)? Can’t do cabinets/countertops till we have a lot more cash in hand.
FYI: Husband hates the linoleum floors and appliances work just fine.
I am just worried that our beautiful hardwoods will get ripped up when/if we do a cabinet/countertop/appliance remodel.
Any ideas?
