Tips For Planning Your Kitchen Design

You've been searching on Pinterest for months, maybe even years and you think it's time to start the construction of your dream kitchen. While you may think you have completed enough research to design and build the perfect kitchen, there may be a few steps that you have not considered. When it's finally time build your new kitchen and install new cabinets, you what it to be absolutely perfect. That's why Ragan Cabinets at the Lake of the Ozarks has some tips to consider before you start planning the design of your new kitchen.


Your Kitchen Layout isn't as Simple as You Think...

When you are deciding what your kitchen layout is going to be, it is often more complicated than you think. Sure, it is easy to say that the sink will go here, the refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher will go here etc. However, there are a lot of factors that go into a great kitchen design. You should consider practical storage solutions, where the wiring in the walls is, where the plumbing is, and how the flow of the kitchen will be based on doorways. All of these things must be considered during the planning phase. Sure, plumbing and electrical can be moved but it must be up to code and if too much moving around must be done, you run the risk of going way over budget.

Get Ideas 

You probably already have a lot of ideas in mind if you are already considering remodeling your kitchen at the Lake of the Ozarks. Make sure to put those ideas to paper (or Pinterest!) Having a great visual of what you want will help put your ideas and vision to life. Plus, when you are trying to buy materials and talk with the carpenters that will be building your kitchen, you will both be on the same page as to what you want.

Create a Wish List 

Creating a wish list is a great way to help with the design process of your kitchen. Create a list of things you HAVE to have, a list of things you would really like to have, and a list of things that would be nice but are not a necessity. Refer to this list often during the planning stage and it will help to keep you on track when you design your kitchen.



Create a Budget! 

Dream big, but don't dream so big that you cannot afford your design. We offer affordable cabinets at the Lake of the Ozarks but there is more to a kitchen remodel than just new cabinets. Setting a budget BEFORE you start planning will help to ensure that your design does not exceed what you can afford. You can still design a beautiful kitchen when you are on a budget.



Planning the design of your new kitchen is a fun and exciting process. However, there are necessary steps that go into not only creating a great design but also creating a kitchen that is both functional and built efficiently.
