Planning Your Kitchen Design

When it comes to remodeling your kitchen there is a lot that you need to think about. The planning process can take some time to pin down exactly what your vision is for your new kitchen. When it's finally time to take the plunge and contact someone to help you remodel your kitchen at the Lake of the Ozarks, there will be a lot of decisions to make. Some decisions will be obvious like cabinet selection, countertops, and flooring and some may not be as obvious. Today, our cabinet company at the Lake of the Ozarks has some advice for planning your kitchen design. Read on to learn more! 


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.

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 on paper (or Pinterest!) Having a great visual of what you want will help put your ideas and vision to life. This will make buying and picking out materials much easier too because you will already have a good idea of what goes well together.

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.
