Remodeling your kitchen is one of the smartest home improvement projects that you can complete. Experts suggest that kitchen remodeling delivers a 50 percent return on your investment. If it’s time for you to finally have the kitchen of your dreams, here’s how you can prepare your space for the project.
Mentally prepare for kitchen remodeling
Remodeling projects can be tough no matter the room getting the facelift. But kitchen remodeling is especially challenging since it’s likely you and your family’s daily life centers around this one room. It’s important to consider and accept that the project will disrupt your life for a time, but it's equally important to know that that disruption won’t last forever.
Remove everything for kitchen remodeling
Once you’ve found your zen, get to work preparing the space for its transformation. You should remove everything that you can from the room including all decorative items and anything that exists in the space with sentimental value. If you’re getting new drawers and cabinets, everything must be removed from those too before demo day. Try and keep things in an orderly fashion and as accessible as possible for the duration of the reno.
Consider adding plastic barriers
One thing that’s certain in every remodeling project is dust. The dust created from the process also travels and seems like it gets everywhere. It’s smart to create a plastic barrier between the construction zone and the rest of your home with as few gaps as possible. This effort in the beginning will mean a whole lot less dust escapes into the rest of your home during the renovation. You might also want to consider a light daily vacuum to your everyday routine.
Hire a cleaner when it’s all said and done
Once the project has been completed and you’re ready to enjoy your new space, do yourself one last favor and hire a cleaner to perform a deep clean of your remodeled kitchen and the rest of your home. Construction debris and dust will find its way in practically every nook and cranny of your home. You’ll appreciate the level of clean that a professional can bring to your home.
