At our ancestral home, we needed some kitchen remodelling work done. Initially, we thought, we’d design the whole kitchen ourselves. But realisation soon dawned on us that it was much more technical and we were surely not capable of it. The first lesson I learnt when it comes to what not to do in a kitchen remodel is improper planning. I have a few more observations from our little venture into kitchen remodelling that I can share with you.
11 Common Kitchen Renovation Mistakes to Avoid
- If you are not familiar with it, don’t plan it. Always go for expert insights when it comes to tasks like remodelling and renovations.
- Take notes of detailed inventory in your kitchen before you start planning. Failing to do so will not give you a proper idea of kitchen traffic and foot flow.
- Check if you need to switch any appliances or have to get major structural changes. If you overlook this, you will be in a soup.
- Next, get the right approvals. If you don’t get approvals from local authorities, you could end up in trouble and pay a hefty penalty.
- Another one of kitchen renovation mistakes to avoid is to overlook your lighting requirements. Your kitchen primarily needs ambient lighting, task lighting and if required, decorative lighting.
- Of course, you should avoid budgeting issues. Always have a budget in place and a contingency plan with 15% to 20% of the total kitchen renovation budget aside for miscellaneous expenses.
- Plan your storage and cabinets properly to avoid overcrowding of appliances and utensils in the kitchen.
- Do not install flooring before the cabinets. If you install cabinets after flooring, the floor will not be able to expand or contract, and you will likely end up damaging your cabinets.
- One more from many kitchen remodel mistakes is to not plan the kitchen wiring outlets properly. Improper wiring could lead to fires and injuries.
- Next, your cabinets should be planned according to the appliances you are planning to put in. Difference of just a couple of inches will end up making installation a nightmare for you.
- Finally, don’t make changes once the plan is finalised. It could lead to delays and could cause inconvenience.
