Kitchen remodel National Landing

From flow to design to budget, a good kitchen remodeling company will be there for you every step of the way

Undergoing a kitchen remodeling should be an exciting time for you as a homeowner in the National Landing area. It should be a process you and all the shared decision makers in your household enjoy, not something that causes you stress and/or anxiety. After all, kitchens are the center of a household, that one room where people congregate and create lasting memories.

Some people know exactly what they want in a kitchen design – from the specific type of kitchen cabinets to the specific colors of the room to the exact layout that will make their kitchen the perfect fit for them. More often than not, though, people have a better idea of what they don’t like in their current kitchen than the exact details that would make their re-designed kitchen perfect.

There are many aspects to a good kitchen remodel that can make it seem like an arduous undertaking – which kitchen cabinets and appliances to choose, how to structure the layout for your home and your lifestyle, how to accent the kitchen with just the right features, and how to do all of this in a timely fashion and within a budget you can afford.

Lucky for homeowners in the National Landing region, Bath Plus Kitchen Design Remodel is a full-service design-remodel firm that will not only delivery quality craftsmanship but also timeless designs with a focus on project management and attention to detail. By taking a hands-on approach to your kitchen remodeling project right from the start, Bath Plus Kitchen Design Remodel walks you through every step of the process to tailor your kitchen design to your wants and needs.

Any kitchen remodeling project starts with the design, and this step begins by taking into consideration your current kitchen’s specifications, including room size, ceiling height and location within your house in relation to other rooms. It’s important that at your first kitchen remodeling consultation meeting, you have this information as well as a general description of why you want to redesign your kitchen in the first place.

Knowing what you don’t like about your current kitchen is almost as important as what types of kitchen cabinets you’d like, because it can help your kitchen designer make suggestions as to how to best optimize your space in a way that would give you the best flow for how you and your family use the room.

You may want to skip right ahead in the kitchen design process to the part where you pick your countertops, your kitchen cabinets, your appliances and the other features of the room, but it’s important, first and foremost, to work with your designer to create a space that works for you and your family. Your kitchen designer has years of experience in the field, so he or she may have an idea that would make your home look and function better than you could ever imagine on your own. This may include opening up your space by knocking down a wall, or even completely re-arranging the layout of your kitchen for better sight lines.

Any kitchen design will begin with the flow of the room and then progress to picking the specific items and materials that will be used. Some tips are to:

• Eliminate wasted steps: Think about how you want to use your kitchen, and then design where each part of the kitchen is located so you’re not running from one side of the room to the next just to complete simple tasks.

• Design wide walkways: The last thing anyone wants is to have a crowded kitchen, so make sure there’s plenty of room for multiple people to navigate the room at the same time.

• Make it safe: It’s best to keep cooktops out of high-traffic areas so children can’t touch handles on top of the stove, and so spills are relegated to an out-of-the-way area.

• Create a focal point: A focal point of any room is important, but especially so in a kitchen. A nice-sized island where members of the family can congregate as meals are being cooked or prepared is a great way to bring the focus to the middle of the room, for example.

Once the layout of your kitchen remodeling project has been established, it’s time to get to the good part – picking out all the fixtures, colors, cabinets, countertops and other design elements that will make your National Landing kitchen pop. This is the part of the project where you will be able to infuse your tastes, your personality and your true inspirations.

Nowadays, there are a plethora of resources where you can draw inspiration for your kitchen remodeling project, from home improvement shows on television to home improvement magazines to internet sites that provide examples of the various options of kitchen cabinets available. When you come across something in your everyday life that you would love to have in your kitchen, clip it to save for later; either take a picture of the kitchen cabinet, or the faucet, or the island that caught your attention and bring it with you to your kitchen remodeling consultation appointment.

Having some good visual examples of your style will help your kitchen designer better understand the look and feel that would make you happiest and, therefore, will allow them to show you all the options that could work for your specific space. And with so many different options in kitchen products available on the market today, the better your kitchen designer can understand your vision, the better he or she will be able to present you with all the options to make your kitchen design the best it can be.

Kitchen Design for Budget

Wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t have to consider money at all when we were undergoing a kitchen remodeling project? Oh, to be able to dream. Unfortunately, most of us are operating within budgetary restrictions when we are doing most things in our life, and especially so for bigger-ticket items such as creating a new kitchen.

Money can be a sensitive topic, but it’s one that needs to be discussed up front in a tactful way so there are no false hopes created and no surprises that come up throughout the kitchen remodeling process. The professionals at Bath Plus Kitchen Design Remodel know this and take every step necessary to cater your kitchen remodeling project specifically to you, your wants, your needs, your space and your financial constraints.

The most important part of any kitchen remodeling project is to create a space you love, that works for you and your family and, as a result, your finances. By having honest conversations at every point in the kitchen design process, from conceptualization through construction, your kitchen designer can keep your mind at ease and provide you with all the options available that fit your budget.

This is a huge advantage of using a design-build company such as Bath Plus Kitchen Design Remodel. Because the professionals at BPK will be with you from the beginning all the way through to the end, and at every step in between, there are fewer opportunities for things to fall by the wayside or for things to go off schedule either time wise or financially, because they’ll be there with you throughout the entire project.
