Kitchen renovation: what to plan before the work
Colours and worktops are enjoyable choices, but dimensions, everyday habits and existing services should guide the project first.
Allow for movement, not just furniture
Check space for opening cupboards, drawers and appliances and for people moving through the room. A layout that looks attractive in a picture must remain practical in the real space.
Decide what to keep
Separate sound equipment from items to replace. Measure retained appliances and include their connection requirements when planning the units.
Organise storage around your habits
Everyday crockery, small appliances, food and waste sorting need different arrangements. Explain what you use frequently so storage supports daily life.
Think about maintenance
Consider junctions, splash zones and access for cleaning. Compare the manufacturers’ care instructions before choosing surfaces.
Check connections before moving the sink
A new water-point position affects more than appearance. Supply pipes, drainage and technical access must be examined before finalising the layout.
Clarify the quotation
Identify removal, surface preparation, equipment, connections and finishes. Also plan how to manage meals while the kitchen is unavailable.
