Four Tips for Remodeling Your Kitchen or Bath
There is a lot to think about when deciding to remodel your kitchen or bathroom. You want a design that fits your taste and style, and you will want to make sure you still enjoy it in years to come. Below are a few tips on how to start thinking about a kitchen or bathroom that brings both immediate gratification and long-term beauty.
1. Style
When planning your kitchen or bathroom, think about colors and shapes that make you feel good. Odds are that where you will be spending a lot of time in this room, so enjoying how it looks is important. Inspiration can be found anywhere: base your room on your favorite painting or piece of art, consider what your favorite foods are, and even look at other kitchens and bathrooms that you find striking.
2. Budget
There are plenty of ways to get creative with your budget and not have to sacrifice on your personal style. Simple things such as repainting your table can bring new life. Look at creative ways to store utensils or personal belongings, such as mason jars or old vases. Items found in salvage yards can be repurposed into furniture or accents. Look through some of your old belongings to see what can be updated. Taking time to get creative with your budget will not only save you money, but can invoke creativity without taking away from your personal taste.
4. Vision
Keep your thoughts and plans organized by collecting inspiring pictures and drawings. They don’t have to be professional or look precisely like what you want, but they will give you a starting place and help you form what your finished plan will look like. Making sure to piece together all of your ideas before beginning the demolition of your kitchen or bathroom could save you from making design decisions that won’t line up with your style. Don’t worry though—we’ll be with you every step of the way to make sure you are satisfied with the direction your new room is heading.
5. Long-Lasting Enjoyment
When it’s time to look at your fixtures and appliances, don’t just focus on what is popular right now. If you are remodeling a home that you will be living in for the next 20 years, you want items that have timeless appeal. Consider both style and functionality when choosing appliances and fixtures. And just as importantly, do research on the quality ratings of appliances and fixtures to find out how well they will hold up over time.
