Let’s see the steps to make your dream kitchen

Kitchen Remodel Checklist

Before discussing any of the things we are going to provide a kitchen remodel checklist which will help you keep all the things in mind.

• Choose the area for setting your dream kitchen
• Measure the area in both length, width, and height
• Choose your kitchen appliances and cooker
• Kitchen Flooring
• Find out how much area you need for storing in your kitchen
• Choose the right seating arrangement capacity and the area.

So, we have finalized the things for our dream kitchen. Let’s see how the steps will work.

Choose the Area for Setting Your Dream Kitchen

Kitchen area selection is a very important part of a dream kitchen. A dream kitchen must need sunlight and a wind passway. So you have to choose the area for setting a custom kitchen where at least 2 windows are there.

If you have wind passes way and you can get sunlight, it will reduce your electricity bill.

Measure the Area in Both Length, Width, and Height

You have already chosen the area, where you want to set up your dream kitchen. Now just measure the area in length, width, and height. This measurement will give you the available space area in your hand in square meters and cubic meters.

This measurement will help you make the decision about the kitchen appliances and cabinets.

At the time of measuring the area, you should point out the electricity, water, and gas connections.

You can use the existing connections or you can change as per your requirements at the time of design of the kitchen.

Choose the Right Seating Arrangement Capacity and Area

Your seating arrangement should be easy to access. It should adjust within your area and can manage your requirements.

Just think, if your kitchen area allows you 12 square meters of space for seating and you choose 16 square meters top, it will not fit in your kitchen. On the other hand, if you have four members in your family and you make three seating arrangements, it will not meet your requirements also.

So, make the seating arrangement as per your measured space and requirements.

We are now going to talk about flooring, cabinets, hooding, appliances, etc. elaborately.

Kitchen Flooring

First of all, we are going to talk about the flooring of a kitchen. Flooring is very important for the look of the kitchen. There are different types of flooring for the kitchen. We are going to talk about the most popular ones. These are:

1. Vinyl or resilient flooring
2. Porcelain tile flooring
3. Hardwood flooring
4. Linoleum flooring
5. Marble flooring

Types of Flooring for kitchen

Kitchen flooring is a very important part of a kitchen. You have to choose the right flooring for your kitchen. Kitchen flooring should be waterproof and damp proof as there are many uses of water.

There are many options in the flooring. You should find out the flooring that can give your kitchen allegiant looks, easy to maintain, easy to install, durable, and cost-effective.

1. Vinyl or resilient flooring

It offers a variety of colors in either tiles or sheets. Vinyl flooring is water-proof and stain-proof which is a very important property to have for the kitchen. This type of flooring feels slightly soft underfoot. If your budget is low then you should go for vinyl or resilient flooring.

2. Porcelain Tile Flooring

Porcelain tile flooring will be the best option for durability and good looks. It is an up-to-date version of ceramic tiles. These types of tiles are found in glazed or unglazed forms. Glazed tiles have a glass coating and unglazed have a more natural color.

3. Hardwood Flooring

If you are looking for both warmth and beauty then you should definitely go for hardwood flooring. These tiles also feel comfortable underfoot. Also if you have an open floor and want to extend the flooring beyond the kitchen the hardwood flooring is going to be a good choice. Hardwood flooring doesn’t need much maintenance. On top of that, they are durable in nature.

4. Linoleum Flooring

Linoleum is a green flooring option. It is made from biodegradable cork powder and linseed oil. Moreover, it doesn’t have harmful VOCs. Linoleum flooring comes in many colors and patterns. This type of flooring will make your house look more elegant. These are the most modern types of flooring. The only disadvantage is that they are a bit susceptible to staining but they are moisture resistant. So make sure to apply protective coating when installing linoleum flooring.

 5.  Marble Flooring

Marble flooring is used for a clean and linear finish. Marble is what defines the kitchen of modern days. Marble tiles come in different shapes. The form of tiles can be square, rectangular, round, triangular, or hexagonal, depending on the decoration.

“Marble is a very clean stone that gives the decoration structure and a very organic setting,” highlights Zac. “And the good thing is that some companies are now creating a material that looks like this, but is much stronger, less porous, and very easy to maintain.”

Kitchen Cabinets

Now we are going to talk about the most important thing of the kitchen, where you keep all your utensils in an organized way that is a cabinet. There are different kinds of cabinets. Such as-

1. Shaker cabinets
2. Flat panel or slab
3. Louvered
4. Inset
5. Distressed etc.

We will talk about these five kinds.

Types of Cabinets

Kitchen storage or cabinets are the heart of the kitchen. You need such types of cabinets where you can keep all kitchen-related items safely.

I have seen many cabinets that do not fit in the kitchen and then need to cut the cabinets to adjust in the kitchen.

So, you need to make kitchen cabinets after confirming all kitchen appliances measurements, kitchen design, seating arrangement measurements, etc.

You can buy engineered wood pieces and other spares for making cabinets in the kitchen instantly. This will give you more flexibility to set cabinets and kitchen appliances in one shot.

Shaker Cabinets

Shaker-style is the most common type of cabinet that people use. It has five pieces of the flat panel. Shaker cabinets are popular among people because of their simple look. People on the budget can definitely go with these types of cabinets.

Flat panel or slab:

These types of cabinets are also simple but they are more stylish. It is a great fit for both contemporary and modern kitchens. It is also not that expensive. If you want to make your kitchen more elegant but want to keep it simple then a flat panel or slab will be a good choice.

Louvered-style cabinets:

As louvered-style cabinets have spaces between each slat, they provide proper ventilation. It is also unique in design. This will make your house look more beautiful and sophisticated. If you have a more budget louvered style will definitely be a great one.

Inset-style Cabinets:

It is made up of an inset door set as per the name. Inset kitchen cabinets are one of the most expensive kinds in the market. But they go with any house design. With inset cabinets, you can also customize the design.

Distressed-style Cabinets:

If you are looking for antique designs then distressed style cabinets are the best option. Nowadays people want everything unique. What is more unique than having an antique design? So, the distressed style will be a good choice for your kitchen remodel and your house too.

So, we have discussed the type of cabinets. Now we will talk about kitchen hooding.

Kitchen Hood

Kitchen range hoods, contrary to popular belief can be greatly customized according to the kitchen décor. It may not be the focal point of your kitchen but it still can be of a great visual appeal and add to the overall kitchen décor. Hoods, naturally, are an essential c

component of any kitchen and you can easily make them complement your kitchen cabinetry design. And in this blog, we shall be talking about this very topic.

Before opting for a customized hood, let us talk about why kitchen cabinets make us easy to invest less in them and thus more in the hood design. Kitchen cabinets are available at affordable rates and in a large variety. This allows you to choose a cabinetry design that suits your style perfectly. Once you have taken care of such discount cabinets, you can move on to your range hood design.

Here are 5 range hood designs to complement your cabinets:

Stone Hearth for vintage white cabinetry

A bit expensive, opting for a stone hearth for your hood leaves no stones unturned to make your guests impressed. Stone has always been respected as a great home décor aspect, not just in the kitchen but anywhere in the home. It gives the whole kitchen a very vintage appeal. You can further complement it by opting for rustic textured beams.

5 Great Range Hood Designs to Complement Your Kitchen Cabinetry

The vintage white discount kitchen cabinets are perfectly showcased against the rustic backdrop and turn your kitchen into one from the 18^th-century castles.

Cast stone hood for white shaker cabinetry

While the stone hearth design mentioned above has the natural “uneven” stone finish, the cast stone hood design provides for a more subtle and plain finish which goes great with white shaker discount kitchen cabinets. This design makes the kitchen resemble one of the pristine Victorian homes. Simple, elegant, and stylish. Get your hands on a chandelier (based on the size of your kitchen) and opt for yellow lights to complete the royal look.

Fireplace mantle hood for mystic white cabinetry

As the name suggests, such a hood represents white Georgian architecture and looks more like a fireplace mantle from a classic English novel. Simple, elegant, and classy, they are one of the best options for a range hood design. In order to complement the paneled mystic white cabinets, and to add more to the overall design, go for the millwork paneling of the hood as well. To complete the look, opt for pendant lights hanging from the center of the ceiling or over your kitchen island.

Mystic white discount cabinets add to the illusion of space in your kitchen. And along with your charming white range hood add to the pristineness of your overall kitchen décor.

Wood hearth range for cherry wood cabinets

Just as it is with a stone hearth hood, this style has the same finish only that in spite of stone, wood is used. So, while the style gives the vintage appeal, the sleek wooden finish shows off a modern touch. However, if you want you can opt for a texture of the wood that complements the vintage look as well.

Along with cherry kitchen cabinets, the whole area looks like a farmhouse kitchen décor. You can even opt for open shelves on the two opposite sides of the range to store small kitchen essentials like cookbooks, etc. This further brings in more storage utility while spreading the vintage vibe.

Scooped-out hearth style for any kitchen cabinetry style

The structure of such a hood basically is merged with the walls of the kitchen so that the hood hearth is made to appear as if scooped out of the wall. This decreases the use of space and thus adds to the overall openness of the hood range area. Even the corbels seem to be out of sight. Be it for white cabinets or cherry wood cabinets or any other cabinet style, this hood style goes perfectly well. And this is what makes it a very popular choice among many homeowners.

Kitchen Appliances

This is a very important part of custom kitchen design. You have to find out the right appliances that can fit in your kitchen and can serve you the best.

In this case, you should take the measurements of all appliances like freezer, oven, dishwasher, kitchen robot, cooker, basin/sink, etc.

It will help you to fit the appliances in your kitchen properly and you can make the right size kitchen cabinet.

 Now, we are going to talk about the type of ovens. You might think, how is an oven going to change your kitchen look? Well, it pretty much does. The type of ovens that we are going to discuss is-

1. Conventional Electric Ovens
2. Conventional Gas Ovens
3. Convection Ovens
4. Microwave Ovens
5. Convection Microwave Ovens

Types of Oven

Conventional Electric Ovens

To heat air inside the oven, it has two heating elements.  The element at the top is mostly used for cooking and baking whereas the bottom one is used for broiling. It requires less electricity and energy to cook food in this type of oven. So, these will save you time. Also, these are not expensive that saves money. With the budget being low conventional electric oven is a nice choice.

Conventional Gas Ovens

Gas ovens heat very quickly but the fluctuation of temperature is more in these ovens than that of the electric ones. But as the heat is dispersed several dishes can be cooked at one go. A person can enjoy cooking as the kitchen will not get hot.

Convection Ovens

It is mostly a traditional cooking method but it has an extra element at the back and a fan. These type of ovens ensures even heat distribution and even baking. It also preheats quickly. On top of that, they don’t dry out foods.

Microwave Ovens

As the name suggests microwave ovens use the microwave to heat or cook food. These ovens are very popular in this modern era. They are very convenient to use and also they do not burn food which is the advantage of these ovens. Another advantage is that it heats foods faster which most people tend to look for. So, if you want to upgrade your kitchen then microwave ovens will be the best of all.

Convection Microwave ovens

These ovens use a convection heat transfer process to heat food. So this is a combination of both convection and microwave ovens. These type of ovens makes the hot air cooking faster.

So, this is all about ovens. Now, we will move to another important thing in the kitchen that is an air fryer. There are mainly two types of air fryer-

1. Basket Air Fryer
2. Oven Air Fryer

We will discuss both of them to help you choose the best one for your house.

Types of Air Fryer

Basket Air Fryer

They are equipped with drawers with removable baskets. At the top of the appliance, the air is heated and there is a fan that circulates that air around the food in the basket. It also comes with a handle for easy tossing of the food.

Oven Air Fryer

Oven air fryers also work on the same principle that is air is heated at the top and then it is distributed around the whole surface. But it doesn’t come with a basket and a drawer. But oven air fryer also has a cooking option which is not seen in the basket air fryer.

Basket Air Fryer VS Oven Air Fryer

1. Basket air fryers are usually small so they need less space whereas oven air fryer need more space as it is larger than the basket one.
2. Basket air fryers are cheap but oven air fryers are expensive.
3. Oven air fryer has multiple cooking option which lacks in the basket air fryer.
4. The fan of basket air fryer makes loud sound. On the other hand oven air fryer has quieter fan
5. Oven air fryers heats up kitchen more which basket air fryer doesn’t.
6. The Pre-heating is faster in basket air fryer than the oven air fryer.
