There are so many components of a kitchen: countertops, kitchen cabinets, kitchen appliances and tools. All these have to be taken into account before you finalize on a design for your kitchen remodeling.
When I wanted to remodel my kitchen, I was confused with all the design options and material options I was offered. After a lot of hits and misses, I finally stumbled upon Woodbridge Kitchen, the finest Kitchen cabinet craftsmen in Brampton. After working with them, I came to know about the things one need to consider beforehand when it comes to kitchen remodeling.
• Custom Kitchen cabinets or Pre-made/Pre-fitted cabinets.
You have to see your budget for that. Custom Kitchen Cabinets come at a price little higher than pre-made cabinets but they are according to the specifications of your kitchen. If you are lucky enough to get pre-made kitchen cabinets that are according to your kitchen, go for it. If not, opt for Custom Kitchen Cabinets. Get them designed from expert Cabinet makers or design them yourself using a 3D cabinet designing software.
• Open Shelving.
If you have a big kitchen ...
... area then you can go for partial open shelving instead of having complete fitted cabinets altogether. This will save you money as well as you can keep your everyday dishes and appliances on open shelves for easy accessibility. If however, your kitchen area is small and your have more stuff to accommodate in that small area, go for fitted cabinets completely without doubt.
• Remodel Existing Cabinets.
If you are not going for complete design remodeling then you can keep your old kitchen cabinets if they still retain their quality and functionality. Give them a new look by customizing their doors and drawer fronts. You can get them custom made and painted to give a whole new look to your existing kitchen cabinets. This will again save you thousands of dollars and you can have a new kitchen with old components.
• Be Aware of Mechanics and Electrical Location.
You know your kitchen better than anyone else and so you must take into consideration locations of mechanics and electrical where your appliances are going to be placed and whole kitchen has to be designed around them. We don't want to break our kitchen walls for the sake of remodeling do we. Moving mechanics and electrical will cost you extra money and inconvenience.
• Get the best of both worlds.
You can choose a combination of countertop materials according to area of different sections. For example, Outside perimeter can be made of butcher block while the island having lesser area can be made with more expensive granite. This way, you can have granite in your kitchen without skyrocketing your expenses.
These are the tips you must remember the next time you go out cabinet shopping.
