Renewal of some planning principles to keep in mind
* Use quality materials - Selection of quality materials always looking for your new kitchen. Stapled to a few items from the end of tanks and cabinets, such as MDF, or particle board will not last as long as the wood or wood veneer and drawers together is not anywhere near as strong as he was joined by wooden drawers correctly even inexpensive and a separate link in each of the slides.
Making the Most of the existing high wall - for example if you have 8 foot ceilings in the coffers of the consideration that goes all the way to the ceiling, and to provide more storage space that many of the shorter cabinets to leave 'virtual space dead' at the top.
* Determine the quality of a good counter top. While the heart of stone could be the reason your budget, good quality laminate counters with a diverse attractive and interesting and can (and lasts a long time) will be included patterns of the surface to the new design. Other lower-cost alternatives include hard surfaces such as Corian or Silestone, ceramic tile or even granite, which you can install them yourself similar to ceramic tiles.
* Consideration of the maintenance is not just appearance - natural surfaces with the texture and color and hide some of the crumbs, but may require sealing every year or so. Normal segments are easy to clean and never need to be sealed, but it will show almost everything on the surface. Hardware, stainless steel, attractive and very in style, but the stains stainless steel easily and is difficult to maintain do not carry any marks.
* Stay with the basic hardware - instead of selecting devices for one purpose, and to consider the underlying hardware. For example, a set of commercial quality take up less space and be easier to install the oven and a wall separating the head cook.
* Consideration of options for new materials or unique - traditional materials such as flooring kitchen vinyl flooring and ceramic tiles work well and have a proven track record, but alternative materials such as Marmoleum (a "green product flooring 'made of linseed oil, coloring, flour, pine can be ), solid wood, or even a good quality wood flooring offers an attractive, long lasting, low maintenance kitchen flooring.
Budget is important
* Once you define the planning and elements in your new kitchen you need to create a realistic budget and are willing to stick to it.
* An important part of your budget a contingency fund of about 15% of your costs than expected, because in any prices renewal and change, unexpected and unplanned costs that arise so you have the contingency fund to accommodate them and you move forward.
Reduce your budget by doing some work yourself
* Instead of turning your kitchen Reno for more than a contractor, you can help reduce your costs by taking some of the work yourself.
* Although there take professional on the key elements for the renewal of your own, and often makes sense, there are still a number of things a home owner can take the same starting to remove the kitchen cabinets old and counters (this really does not require only a willingness to work hard and not be afraid of to get dirty), and the installation of ceramic tile beginning again, and the installation of a higher post formed counter or even install new kitchen faucets.
