One important factor to consider before you start is to know your budget.


Over spending in this area will result in you having less to spend on other part of your home. By looking at your budget you have two options which you can do. One is to remodel and the other to refaced your kitchen. Both option have their pro and cons.

In remodelling your kitchen, you can determine the layout of your kitchen, should it be a L shape, with or without a kitchen island. These layout will depend on the size of your kitchen. Not to forget that you still need to have the basic appliance like refrigerator, stove, kitchen sink with dishwasher and oven.

If you have kids, you might want to consider having extra safety features in you kitchen as compare to a kitchen for singles or a couple. Besides the basic appliances, you need to consider

  • the materials use for the kitchen cabinets


  • eg.
    • Northern Maple,

    • Red Oak,

    • Poplar,

    • Birch,

    • plantation-grown exotic woods

  • faucets - wall mounted or sink mounted,

  • sink - single bowl sink, double bowl sink or triple bowl sink

  • the color of the kitchen that suits your overall design

  • kitchen floor tiles - ceramic, porcelain or glass

  • the kitchen color

The advantage of getting a the kitchen remodel is that you can have the kitchen designed to your lifestyle and needs. However, the main drawback is that you need to spend a fortune.

If remodelling your kitchen is out of your budget, your can choose to refaced your kitchen.
