Kitchens are by far the most complex of all the rooms in a house. Therefore, a kitchen renovation is a big deal. Many factors come into play when planning a kitchen renovation; these include the layout of the room, current infrastructure (plumbing and electrical), cooking designs, family traffic patterns, storage needs, waste disposal and recycling, decorating preferences, lighting options, and social uses. You’ll also decide what fixtures and fittings and surface finishes will be used. The hardest part of a kitchen renovation is getting started because most people don’t know where to begin.
