Introduction

R

enovating a kitchen means completely revising the heart of the house. Needs and trends change over time, so wanting to revolutionize it is physiological. Especially if we have a kitchen with particularly recognizable details, with a specific style that recalls a certain period or a trend, or furniture and walls have strong colors, you may get bored and want to update the furniture.

How to renovate the kitchen

T he secret to optimally renovating the kitchen without having nasty surprises is to make an action plan, having clear ideas will reduce the possibility of errors or hitches. There is the possibility of unforeseen circumstances coming up when you decide to do some work in your home. In this book, you will find all the tips for arranging your kitchen in the best possible way.

Especially if the last time you did it was a long time ago, there is a likelihood you do not know the exact measurements of the room and every detail. Before starting to think about how to do it, we need to understand how much space we have available. Even a small kitchen can be elegant and designed, but you need to be clear about the dimensions, the position of windows and doors, the sources of light but above all the water and gas connections, all elements that will inevitably affect the layout. Knowing all these details also allows you to evaluate the type of materials to choose and more generally the style.

For example, you want to create an open space with the living room by breaking down the dividing wall or design, from scratch or not, a kitchenette in a living area, the reliefs are even more delicate, since it may be necessary to make new attacks from scratch. It is important to study a style that adapts to the existing furniture and all factors that will inevitably affect the budget.

Dreaming is free and we inevitably do it big, wanting a hypermodern and designed kitchen, with top appliances and refined accessories. However, this could clash with our real possibilities, which must be calculated before thinking about restructuring, however, few economic resources do not mean that you cannot efficiently renovate your kitchen.

If you consider renovating the kitchen by choosing the latest generation materials and appliances, however, the expense to be incurred may be a long-term investment adding a class A + oven, dishwasher, and a lot more. Though, we shouldnt be afraid of high expenses because it could be the only one you have to do in the space of years.

Now that we have the measures and budget under control, we can focus on the most interesting aspect of the matter, which is designing the new kitchen. We can keep the same arrangement exclusively by changing the addends, or completely changing the appearance of the room. Keep in mind that it doesn't just have to be beautiful and elegant but above all, it should be functional. The three strong points must be the kitchenette, the washing corner, and the pantry. Starting from the arrangement of these points, the whole kitchen can be structured. Arrangement in the best possible way is a real art, even more, refined if we are working on a kitchenette in a single kitchen and living area.

The monobloc kitchen that occupies a single wall is the most classic and generally more popular solution, in this case, it is important not to neglect the number and size of the worktops, which must be adequate in order to cook in complete comfort and safety. Installing additional shelves and cabinets will help keep surfaces clear as well as more tidy.

If you have a lot of space, you can choose modular kitchens that occupy several walls, perhaps opposite, or L or U-shaped models, with American-style islands and peninsulas. If the kitchen is small, you can install resealable peninsulas, which if necessary can be extracted to create an extra place to eat or simply to cook.

Great attention must be paid in general to the arrangement of wall units and cabinets. The suspended ones are strategic in a small room but can remove brightness, so they must not interfere with light sources. The same goes for household appliances, they can be visible especially the refrigerator, design, or built-in the most practical solution.
