When planning out a kitchen renovation, one can't help but be excited - maybe even overwhelmed.

Your kitchen, after all, will need to fulfill its functions, regardless of whether or not you work with a kitchen designer. Proper planning and choosing the right professionals and contractors is of utmost importance. Note that, if your renovations are well done, a portion - if not all - of your new kitchen's investments will be recouped if you plan on selling your home. We're glad to help you find the right kitchen contractor for your renovation project.

Kitchen designs - Endless possibilities

A simple search on google is sure to leave your jaw hanging when it comes to kitchen designs. It seems as though the possibilities are endless. They almost truly are! 

Whether you're looking for a traditional kitchen design or something a little more out there, we've put together a wonderful slideshow with tons of inspiring pictures. Keep in mind that, if you plan on selling your home in the near future, it's best to opt for something a little more neutral in order to please potential buyers. Although some of the designs we've gathered are quite extravagant, you can always borrow certain elements to complete your kitchen's decor. For instance, if you'd like to add a touch of copper to your kitchen's decor, you can simply change your light fixture. If ever copper goes out of style, it'll be easy to switch the fixture to something more up to date. This is much more cost effective, and a lot less resource consuming than changing an entire backsplash, for example. However, if you plan on staying put for quite a while, why not let loose and go for that look you truly love!?

Consider hiring a kitchen designer for your new kitchen's layout. It's surely worth the investment as they specialize in making your 'kitchen life' easier. They'll make sure your space is fully optimized according to your needs. They'll even know how to properly allocate your budget and help you find what you need to accomplish the look you're trying to go for.

A kitchen renovation typically takes anywhere between 2 and 4 weeks. It all depends on what you get done. Plus, many steps come into play, from demolition and plumbing or electrical relocation (if needed), to prepping the floor, installing the cabinets and countertops, putting in final touches, etc. It's important to note that your kitchen won't be accessible during the renovation process and you'll need a temporary solution.
