LAYOUT: The busiest room in a house needs consideration to maximise the space. Contemplate the distance between main fixtures and appliances – a great way is to roleplay a typical night in the kitchen and work out where to situate your stove and sink. Common kitchen layouts are U-shaped, L-shaped and Galley kitchens. APPLIANCES: People spend around 20% of the kitchen renovation budget on appliances. When sourcing appliances, consider dimensions, look, brand, quality, features and energy efficiency. Words + Photos:

BUDGET: Set a realistic budget. Most complete kitchen renovations vary between $30,000 to $50,000. You need to be prepared for costs such as: demolition of old kitchen, materials, appliances and labour.
LOGISTICS: As well as getting the appropriate approvals from strata or council, don’t forget to consider the layout aspects like plumbing and electrical. Does your sink or power points need moving?
