How to remodel your kitchen?

How do i remodel a kitchen and where should i start?

go4idea

Start by determining how you use the kitchen..do you cook alot? Do you bake? Do you entertain? Do you have the family for holidays every year? Are professional-style appliances what you need? Do you need a particular type of storage? Do you have a lot of dishware/glassware? You need to determine your priorities.

Then, start looking through magazines and randomly tear out pages that have some looks you like. Put them all in a folder and after a couple of weeks, go through it. You will see what trends you tend to go after. That way you can determine light wood or dark wood or painted cabinets, traditional or contemporary, etc. Keep in mind what room you kitchen adjoins in regard to flooring. You might want to maintain a flow as far as color. Tile is great for kitchen flooring, so is laminate as long as you don't flood it someday (it delaminates). Wood is great too, but it will scratch, even the hardest Brazilian Cherry will scratch.

Get an idea of the countertops you like: granite, silestone or other solid surface, formica, tile. Think also about a backsplash. I think the floors, countertops and backsplashes can be tied together, or at least the counter and the backsplash.

If you go to a professional kitchen designer, go equipped with a floorplan and with dimensions.
