How do we start planning our kitchen remodel?
Planning your kitchen can be overwhelming, but it can also be very exciting! To begin, you may want to write down the things that you love/hate about your existing kitchen. This will help you start tracking the things you may want to see in your new kitchen. Also, start paying attention to styles of kitchens when you are looking through magazines, swiping through social media, or visiting friends and family. Knowing the overall direction of what you want the final look to be will help navigate the selection process. The functionality, accessibility, and practicality of your kitchen can all be decided upon beforehand once you work with our designer to tailor your kitchen to the needs of your family. A variety of tools such as Pinterest, Houzz, Facebook, and Instagram have a vast catalog from which to start organizing your thoughts and honing in on your style. If you are finding that process difficult, our designer will walk you through steps to uncover exactly what will look best with your existing home and unique tastes.
How should we budget for our kitchen remodel?
By evaluating your wants and needs, it’s easier to determine your priorities for the remodel. Your priorities will help all of us decide which options you should invest in as you budget your project. DF Hughes wants to keep your budget in mind starting at the beginning of the project so there are no surprises. Your remodeling budget is very important to you, therefore, it is equally as important to us. Keep in mind that sometimes it’s easy to become enamored with ideas that may ultimately be outside of your budget or what’s possible in your home. Therefore, it’s important to check your ideas against your priorities. We can help with that in the planning phase. Remodeling a kitchen is a major investment in your home. Our first priority is to help you understand the process and take as much of the anxiety out of a remodel as we can. All our remodeling is constructed in Birmingham, Alabama and the surrounding areas, so we know what to expect for an average kitchen remodel. We can help you assess your budget at our initial consultation and help set your expectations moving forward.
