A renovation of the heart.

Many consider kitchen renovations to be the most important part of the home. It's been said that this space is the heart of the home and therefore is essential to the day-to-day functions of each family. Since this area is such an important room in our homes, it is important that it is beautifully decorated and nicely appointed to invoke a sense of warmth and comfort for all members of the family. Not only does it tie together the flow of the home, but it also bonds the family together during meals, family gatherings, and those times when you're reviewing your child's homework. The functionality of this space is unlimited. Not only can it be functional, it needs to be a space that homeowners can be proud of. In performing a renovation, it is important to know that kitchens and bathrooms add the most value to a home. It's no wonder that the elements that are introduced into such a space have to tie the entire home together cohesively. No matter the size, everyone wants to take pride in the design and layout of the most important room in the home. Since this special space is the area where we feed our bodies, it can be likened to a source of energy for our souls and our minds.

What's beneath the surface?
Some people love a good surprise. It's fun to get an unexpected gift or have an unexpected joyful event occur in our lives. When it comes to the renovation of our homes, surprises are not fun at all. That is why it is important when undergoing a renovation project, that it is done thoroughly and in great detail. Understanding what's behind the walls of your home is essential for renovation projects. There are many hidden factors to consider when renovating any part of your home. Those factors include:

  • Electrical systems
  • Gas elements
  • Plumbing system

Any time you complete a full renovation on your home, you have to take into consideration those three elements. These are elements that are behind the walls and are not easily seen with the naked eye. If you have any termite damage, you have to factor this issue into your renovation cost as well. Completing a renovation on any part of your home and not taking these elements into consideration is like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound. To address these issues, it is important to hire a contractor that has experience in doing a full renovation.

Configuration for the ultimate design?
How you configure the heart of your home is extremely important in the planning phase. Some factors to consider would be the layout of counter spaces and kitchen cabinets. Some questions you need to ask yourself would include:

  • Do you want to incorporate an island?
  • Would you prefer a peninsula design?
  • Is a galley-style layout more appropriate?
  • Are there any load-bearing walls that would impede your layout?

Often, it is helpful to hire the services of an architect to determine if there are any load-bearing walls or if there are any impediments that would deter you from achieving your ultimate layout design. These factors require thoughtful consideration before you purchase any materials. The layout will determine how much materials you need for your project. This would ultimately determine the cost of the overall project. Configuring your space also needs to be aesthetically pleasing to the individuals that would be using the space. You need to determine how space would be used. Even though this area is considered the heart of the home, not everybody uses this area the same as others. These are factors that must be considered and planned for in advance. Consulting with a professional contractor will help guide your decisions.

Material choices and your budget.
The material choices you select for your project are a huge determining factor for the bottom line cost. The size of the project is another factor. Of course, determining your budget in the planning phase is also essential. There have been nightmare stories of homeowners undertaking renovation projects that have taken months to complete and have cost them tens of thousands of dollars more than they initially planned. The key to planning for any renovation is setting a budget and sticking to it. If you set a budget and find that you're not able to stick to it, work with your contractor in making adjustments to the selection of materials or possibly doing some of the work yourself to reduce the number of labor costs. It is wise to have a portion of the budget allocated as a contingency. One example of material selections that could affect the budget includes choosing higher-end materials. For example, granite countertops normally cost more than Corian or quartz countertops. Often, the same look can be achieved by using different materials. The same applies to other aspects of the design space such as flooring, cabinetry, and fixtures. Your selections in these items are a big determining factor in the overall budget.

Flooring choices.
There are several choices you can incorporate into the heart of your home. The most popular and highly sought-after material includes hardwood. Coincidentally, this material is also the most expensive of the choices. Hardwood floors are durable and with the right maintenance can last a long time. For your overall design, you can choose solid hardwood floors or engineered hardwood floors. Of course, solid hardwood floors are the most expensive option of the two selections. Other selections include laminate flooring. With laminate floors, you're able to introduce the look of hardwoods without the price. Laminate floors are also durable and mimic the look of hardwood floors almost perfectly. Bamboo flooring is also a popular choice as it is stylish, durable and can look a lot like hardwood flooring. Since it is friendly to the environment, many homeowners opt to use this material for their flooring options. Other flooring materials could include:

  • Tile flooring
  • Concrete flooring
  • Vinyl flooring
  • Linoleum flooring

Depending on the look you're trying to achieve, either one of these flooring choices could add the decorative element you desire. With concrete flooring, you are able to implement more of an industrial or contemporary style. On the other hand, tile flooring can introduce elements of rustic charm or a more traditional feel.

Kitchen cabinets.
Kitchen cabinets are another element in the heart of the home that comes in many different styles. Cabinetry can introduce a different design element for your home. Traditional cabinetry typically features more detailing with raised panel doors and comes in different colors. From a cherry wood color to a walnut stain finish, traditional cabinets can accentuate other features within your space. Other examples of cabinet styles could include shaker style cabinets that display a clean and simple design element. Typically the design of the doors has flatter panels and invoke a casual comfortable look. Rustic cabinetry gives come in warmer colors and has imperfections ingrained to give a more rugged look. Contemporary style cabinetry is usually more minimal in design and have more streamlined features. This style of cabinetry is often used in more modern and contemporary kitchens. Other cabinetry styles include:

  • A slab panel cabinet
  • Country Style cabinets
  • Craftsman style cabinets
  • Glass-front cabinets

Regardless of the style, it is important to note that cabinets can accentuate the style of your space.

Countertops.
Like cabinetry, countertops can come in a wide selection of materials, styles, and choices. Marble is one of the more popular choices for counter materials. It is also one of the more expensive choices. There are other countertop materials that are just as effective when incorporated into the design of your home. Materials such as quartz can mimic the style of marble countertops. If you're looking for a more streamlined design, quartz comes in solid colors for a more contemporary modern feel. Granite countertops are also one of the more popular choices. Typically it is at the top of the price spectrum. It is durable and almost maintenance-free. This counter material requires regular sealing to avoid staining. Other countertop materials include:

  • Corian countertops
  • Soapstone countertops
  • Ceramic countertops

It is important to make sure your countertop material fits well within your budget. Another important factor to consider is the weight of the countertops in comparison to your cabinetry. Some countertop materials, such as quartz, can be quite heavy in weight. It is important to select a high-quality cabinetry that can support the weight of your countertop selection material. A professional contractor can provide input for the best results.

Tile choices.
Tile is a material that is so versatile it can be used for backsplashes or flooring. No matter how you use this material, it is sure to add a sense of charm and elegance to any space. When selecting your tile, it is important to determine where this tile will be installed. Will it be installed on the floor or will it be used as an accent piece such as the backsplash. Tile is also used for countertop surfaces, therefore, if you plan to utilize the tile as your countertop selection, it is important to incorporate the right grout color for your space design. Tiles come in different materials and can be incorporated in different ways in your space. Anything from glass tile to ceramic tiles can be installed and look great as an accent feature. For the sake of a kitchen renovation, we will refer to tiles as a backsplash feature. In selecting this feature, it is important to consider where you'll be installing and how the material can stand up to everyday use. For example, if you're installing tile as a backsplash over the stove, select a tile that is durable and can withstand heat and messes. Seasoned contractors are a wealth of information on material selections.

The finishing touches.
The finishing touches of your home improvement project could include everything from lighting, cabinet handles, and faucet fixtures. These items may seem minimal to some, but for others, the finishing touches can make or break the overall design of the project. When it comes to kitchen renovations, selecting the right fixtures for lighting is just as important as selecting the right materials for your countertop selection. You have to determine if you want pendant lighting or more of a chandelier lighting style. In selecting cabinet handles, you have to determine if you want traditional handles or more contemporary handles. Often, homeowners use an eclectic blend of transitional cabinetry with traditional cabinet hardware. This is an interesting way to incorporate different styles into one space. Faucet selections are also important. They are a substantial design element included in the kitchen renovation project. Careful consideration must be given when selecting the type of finish you want. For example, do you want an oil rubbed gooseneck finish or would you prefer a shiny chrome waterfall style faucet? These are all elements that should be considered when selecting your finishing touches

Home improvement projects can be exciting and overwhelming. When designing the space, you want to do so with thoughtful consideration and a high level of planning. After all, the kitchen is where we cook our meals, laugh with friends and family, and have our morning cup of coffee. Not only does the design of this room affect our mental acuity, but it also adds a tremendous amount of value to the overall home price. Even though you may not be looking to sell your home, you still want to incorporate design elements that add value and are aesthetically pleasing to you and your family. Ultimately, when renovating your home, the goal is the finished product. We always want to have a finished product that's reminiscent of the pictures that are featured in the top interior design magazines. A functional and beautifully designed kitchen will draw your family, friends, and loved ones to a central location filled with love. The design elements you select can be aesthetically pleasing and incorporate a sense of charm and warmth. With proper planning and management, you're able to implement a design that is sure to please every member of your home.
