We all want to have nice things, especially on special days. The list can go on and on, be it Christmas, New Year, Lunar New Year, Eid, Ramadhan, or Deepavali. As we are all aware, September is ending, and there are only three months before Christmas and New Year. No matter the occasion, we desire to have our kitchen holiday-ready for every part of the process, especially cooking. Well, you can include hosting and entertaining if you have a space for a kitchen island. A kitchen island is always fantastic for the occasion. By starting work on that kitchen renovation, prepare to look your best when the company arrives.
Is your kitchen holiday-ready?
The holiday season can be stressful sometimes, especially if we need to host and entertain the guests. A lot of planning involves the kitchen. You mainly prepare and cook a large meal and entertain guests. It becomes stressful when the kitchen is not in the right shape. All the kitchen items were cluttered, messy, and disorganized. You are not enjoying working in the kitchen, and it is starting to become a pain. Oh! Now you desire to build a kitchen island! Or do you want to install that storage system long ago so you can clear the clutter? Most of us would admit that our kitchens are far from holiday-ready.
Why must you start to remodel now?
Kitchen remodeling can be a painful process. Wait. Let me rephrase. Kitchen remodeling or building a new kitchen can be a stressful and painful process if you do not conduct it properly. It involved several people, concept research, planning of the design; installation of the kitchen; costs, and time. You must get the right team to assist you in the whole process. Time management is vital. Both designer and client need to be clear about the time frame. So, plan well to get your kitchen completed on time. However, after all the hard work, you will enjoy the kitchen and show off during the holiday. You get to enjoy the well-functioning and efficiently designed kitchen.
Here are five steps in the kitchen remodeling process that we need to know about.
Step 1: Thorough Research and Planning
I think this is an intriguing part of the process. It is the process's very first chapter. In this part, we gather further information about the dream kitchen. We will begin by looking at the dream kitchen's styles, colors, and concepts.
Here are a few tips to guide us on aspects to think of:
Do we like the existing kitchen and why? Or, if this is the first kitchen to build, how do you like the kitchen to be?
What do you wish to change or upgrade in the existing kitchen?
What about your existing cabinet? Do you feel about change? What about the worktop or flooring?
Check all the plumbing and electricity. Does it work correctly, or do you need to change and relocate?
Always plan well and ahead, as it affects your timing and budget.
Step 2: Appoint The Right Cabinet Company
If you have no idea to start, you can always rely on Google Search Engine. There is a wide variety of cabinet companies on google lists. Search the company with the best reviews and visit them. Look for a company that offers design services; the style you are looking for; reputable after-sales services, and quality. Prepare your floor plan and bring them to the companies that you have chosen. Choose from the best in service, industry knowledge, problem-solving, and budget. The designer will start to work on the 3d design of your kitchen.
Step 3: The Process of Design
The designer will then take you through the layout and cabinet options in person or via video call after you have spoken with them and provided the space dimensions. After you and the designer have settled on the room's layout, the type of cabinets you want and how you want them to function, and the specifics of the accessories and hardware, the 3D rendering will be created, which will take between seven and ten days. You will then have about a week to review the designs, make any necessary adjustments, and provide final approval. Once the plans are complete, you can place an order with your designer.
You've been working on your new kitchen for almost four weeks now.
Step 4: Proceed To Order The Cabinet
The process is almost complete now. Congratulation, you are almost there. At this stage, you need to make your decision and fast carefully. Any changes will delay the manufacturing of your cabinet. The standard manufacturing timeline in Malaysia is 4 weeks to 6 weeks upon signing and confirmation of design and payment. That is for cabinet alone, not including the worktop manufacturing and installation.
Step 5: The Assembly and Installation of Kitchen Cabinets
Congratulation! After much awaits, you have made it this far. Now, we have to get ready to receive the kitchen cabinet installed. Ensure your plumbing and the electrical point are working before the installation date. Hire a reputable contractor and plumber to complete the work.
Installation of the kitchen cabinet will typically take about 2-3 days to complete depending on the size of your kitchen cabinet. The kitchen countertop installation usually takes place after 10 days of the kitchen cabinet installation. The countertop fabricator will take a measurement right after the completion of the cabinet.
