Do your home work
Investing time to think carefully about your remodeling goals and develop detailed plans
is the best way to get the dream kitchen you want. Before getting started with a kitchen designer,
here are some things we recommend you consider:
Define your
Remodeling goals
Do you want more space? More storage? More style and functionality?
-
Make a wish list of everything you want, including your preferred cabinet style and color, hardware, countertops, appliances, lighting and flooring
-
Collect inspiration ideas from magazines, Pinterest, product samples, and other sources to share with your kitchen designer
Set a realistic
budget and stick to it
Customers on average spend 10-15% of the value of their home on kitchen remodeling,
but don't shy away from breaking the budget a little for things you really want
-
Splurge for functional cabinet features like pullout drawers & lazy susans or better appliances like a quieter dishwasher or high-end range or fridge
-
Leave room in your budget to cover any unexpected costs
Consider
your timeline
It can take anywhere from a few days to several months to remodel your kitchen. If time is an important factor, you should consider:
-
If you're on a tight timeline, ask your designer about cabinet refacing which takes significantly less time than installing new ones
-
Stick with your existing layout rather than opting for more expensive and time-consuming alterations

GET TO KNOW YOUR KITCHEN
Understanding the shape and design of your kitchen will help you to make better
remodeling decisions. And while no two kitchens are alike, most fall into a few common shapes.
Which of these shapes most resembles the layout of your kitchen space?
L Shaped
A popular layout design that creates a natural work triangle for cooking as well as a great space to entertaining or socializing
If you’re building or updating this type of kitchen, consider:
- Adding an island for extra prep and storage space
-
Making it an eat-in kitchen with the addition a table and chairs
One Wall
Typically found in condominiums, studio apartments and lofts
where space is at a premium
If you’re building or updating this type of kitchen, consider:
- Using compact appliances such as a 24-inch range or 24-inch refrigerator
-
Adding a kitchen island or counter-height table for extra work space in the kitchen
Galley
With two parallel countertops that incorporate a walking area in between it’s perhaps the most efficient of all kitchens for cooking
If you’re building or updating this type of kitchen, consider:
- Adding a decorative range hood and glass-front upper cabinets to make the space feel more open
-
Using efficient storage options like lazy susans to optimize your space
U Shaped
Typically found in small to medium size houses and very efficient
for homes with one primary cook. This layout also offers distinct
zones for cooking, cleaning, prep and storage.
If you’re building
or updating this type of kitchen, consider:
- Maximizing cabinet storage with smart storage features like pullout wire drawers
-
Adding an island if there’s at least 3 ½ feet between the island and the surrounding cabinets and appliances
G- Shape
The G-shaped kitchen is a cozier version of the U-shaped and typically includes a peninsula or partial fourth wall of additional cabinets. It’s a great layout for hosting cocktail parties or watching over small kids while preparing meals.
If you’re building or updating this type of kitchen, consider:
-
Opening up the wall in a nearby room to create a pass-through or breakfast bar
