How to Make Your Dream Kitchen a Reality

A kitchen remodel is a large undertaking, but it’s worth the cost and effort in the end. The reason: 80% of homebuyers are putting priority on the kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of the home. It is one of the most versatile and used rooms for homeowners, so it needs to be close to perfect as possible. In an effort to ease the remodel process, we created this guide to help make the kitchen of your dreams a reality.

Steps to starting your dream kitchen remodel

The first and possibly the most important part of a kitchen remodel is planning. The remodel will only go as well as your remodel plan. If you don’t take time at this stage to figure out the specifications of your dream kitchen remodel, the lack of organization can cause serious headaches down the road. But even the planning stage can be challenging if you’ve never remodeled before. Follow our Steps to a Kitchen Remodel guide to properly tackle your kitchen remodel plan.

Our Tips & Tricks to Help You Achieve Your Dream Kitchen

Don’t Overspend

Depending on what is the most important for your kitchen remodel, you can cut costs in so many ways. From going with cabinets from Cabinets To Go to choosing to refinish appliances instead of purchasing new ones, decide what is most vital to your kitchen and put in some time researching the best prices and options for your needs.

Choose a Timeless Color

Whether you’re selling your home or planning to stay for the long haul, a timeless color for your new kitchen’s base color palette can simplify the process. A versatile color will also continue to suit your home as your taste in decor changes over time. The selection at Cabinets To Go has been curated to offer classic and versatile colors that will suit any decor.

Consider Trends

Do your research. Explore and figure out what makes a kitchen your dream kitchen but be careful, kitchen design trends can be fads, and die out quickly. Avoid dated taste to maintain long term appeal. Also remember that your kitchen should suit the rest of your home.

Don’t Forget the Flooring

According to a Houzz study conducted in 2019, 70% of kitchen remodels include flooring. Before renovation, find flooring that not only matches your overall design direction, but also think about what suits your lifestyle. Do you need waterproof or scratch-resistance? Is style going to be important? Cabinets To Go has a wide variety of flooring options that can meet all these needs and more.

Countertops

As the most important surface in your kitchen, consider countertops carefully. We recommend starting by thinking about the material they are made of. What countertop materials and styles are best for your life? Maybe you have your eye on a shimmering quartz countertop, but don’t have room in the budget. At Cabinets To Go, we’ve made sure to carry a wide variety of countertop options that will be beautiful no matter your budget.

Don't Move the Plumbing

Unless you absolutely have to. Moving plumbing around can be a huge hassle with costly ramifications if there’s more work than anticipated.

Don't Skimp on the Accessories

The design really is in the details, so try not to cut any costs on finishing touches like faucets, sinks, knobs and pulls, organizers, backsplash etc.

Prepare for Installation

Don’t plan an entire kitchen overhaul, and then not be prepared for the installation. At least one week before the renovation gets underway, begin to clean up the area and store everything in a place that you can still access but is out of the way of the installation team. At Cabinets To Go, our fully-licensed authorized installers always make sure to provide an installation date weeks ahead of time, so you have ample time to prepare. Plus, they’ll work with your schedule to make sure you’re not stuck with a demoed unusable kitchen.
