Spruce Up Your Ottawa Kitchen
If you have decided now is the right time to go for a dream Ottawa kitchen renovation, With years of experience, we can guide you through every aspect of your project. From setting a realistic budget to planning to choosing the hardware on the cabinets, there are hundreds of decisions to be made. Making thoughtful choices prior to the initiation of your project will save you time and money in the long run.
Checklist for your next renovation:
Set a realistic budget
Be honest with yourself! Factor in the quality of materials and potential unforeseen costs as you build your budget. Remember, most decisions in your renovation will hinge on your budget.
Take some time to dream about your project.
Talk to your friends about what they like or dislike about their kitchens, read magazines, look at catalogues, collect photos and visit home centers for ideas. When we sit down to plan the design, we will base your plan on your wish list.
Take your own measurements.
Make a basic sketch of your kitchen layout and take it with you when browsing showrooms or flipping through magazines. These measurements will help you gauge the feasibility of your ideas. We’ll handle the precise measurements needed for the renovation itself.
Choose the style that suits your needs.
Are you a gourmet cook who spends hours on your feet in the kitchen? Do you have kids and pets and concerns about durability? Is your microwave your favourite appliance, or are you more of a gas range with two ovens type of family? Casual eat-in, country style, or minimalist modern. What works with the rest of your home?
Lighting is so important for a successful renovation.
Don’t underestimate the power of good lighting. Make a note of where you need good lighting. Is it over a baking or prep area? Under-cabinet lighting or interior cabinet lighting? Place your lighting in strategic locations. Don’t forget to include lighting ideas on your wish list.
Pay attention to the sink and faucet.
Farmhouse or modern? Touchless or sprayer? Choosing the right sink and faucet goes beyond aesthetics; consider functionality too. Think about the size of your biggest pot or pan when selecting a sink.
Cabinetry can be overwhelming.
Take your time making a decision. Jot down your ideas and preferences, and let’s discuss them. There are literally hundreds of trims, finishes, and hardware styles out there. Consider glass fronts, open fronts, and, finally, countertops as a final touch.
The flooring is important.
Flooring is something to be discussed in relation to durability, cushioning, warmth (underfloor heating), and style. Some products to keep in mind are natural stone, wood, cork, and ceramic.
Electrical and plumbing work may have to be done as well.
Is your existing electrical or plumbing outdated or in need of relocation? Think about where you’ll place appliances and task areas that might require additional outlets.
Do you need windows and doors replaced or moved?
You may require fabrication, and that takes time. Sometimes as much as six weeks. This is something we will discuss as we create, then navigate through your plan for kitchen renovations in Ottawa.
