Here at Coordinated Kitchen & Bath in North Vancouver we are often asked how best to prepare for a Kitchen renovation or Bathroom renovation. We have created a list to better assist you in thinking about and preparing for your renovation.
Outcomes and Desires:
This is probably the most important step you can take when thinking about your renovation. During this stage ask yourself a few important questions:
What will the space be used for?
How do you currently live in the space and how do you desire to live in it?
Will there be any foreseeable life changing circumstances (children, parents moving in, etc) that should be worked into the space?
Think about how you currently use the space and how you would optimally like to inhabit it. At Coordinated Kitchen & Bath we would love to work through and design what this practically would look like in your Kitchen and/or Bathroom.
Draft a Timeline:
Create a timeline about when you will need your kitchen and/or bathroom renovation completed by. However, in drafting a timeline be realistic, don’t enter a project under the pretenses of false urgency (family coming, etc), as this will create unnecessary stress and anxiety. Materials, such as kitchen cabinets, countertops, sinks, and faucets take time to fabricate and install, keep this in mind when drafting a timeline.
Draft a Budget:
Contractors and designers will not best be able to serve you without an idea of what the budget on the project will be. The budget will determine what materials can be used and what in the space can be changed.
Here at Coordinated Kitchen & Bath we hope this helps as you begin to think about renovating your kitchen and/or bathroom. For more information about available products visit us online at http://www.coordinatedkitchens.com or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/coordinatedkitchens
