Planning a kitchen remodel for your Healdsburg home takes a lot of planning and budgeting, so don’t jump in without laying out what you want to do and how much you’d prefer to spend. In the heart of wine country, we know good food, and so many of us are excellent home cooks who want a kitchen that reflects our culinary passion. A new kitchen can change the entire ambiance of a home and it’s well worth investing in it right the first time. The key for planning a new kitchen design without driving yourself up a wall is to prioritize.
What’s really important to you? How do you use your kitchen most often? These are the questions you need to answer before you start remodeling. With the consistently high and rising cost of owning a home in wine country, another factor to consider is what sort of kitchen remodel will best improve the value of your Healdsburg home.
How to Plan your Kitchen Design
First things first when planning your new kitchen: what do you need and what do you want? These are two very different things. You may find that you really need to replace a poorly functioning appliance, but you don’t really need a professional gas range. Or you might decide you do really need that large professional oven for the family gatherings that you host, but you don’t care all that much about having the most cutting edge cabinets and hardware. It’s all about making smart choices that get you the kitchen you really want without stretching your patience to the limit. A complete gut job is going to take a lot more time and cost you more stress than choosing the pieces that really need a face lift. If you’d prefer a completely upgraded kitchen, that’s certainly possible, and a good plan will prevent a lot of lost time.
At Kitchen Design Center by Redwood Cabinet Design, we’re here to help you plan your dream kitchen. You should always have contingency savings in place and expect to spend at least a little more to take care of unseen issues, like wiring issues or new ducting. You can’t always plan for everything, but we’ll help you put together the best possible start.
