Kitchen renovation is both a major investment and a process that directly affects the quality of your daily life. Proper planning and attention to detail ensure you get the kitchen of your dreams and prevent long-term problems.
Planning and Organization
Before you begin a kitchen renovation, you should clearly define your needs and expectations. How much time do you spend in the kitchen? What equipment do you need? Here are the key points:
- Ergonomics: Optimize the distance between the vertices of the kitchen triangle (refrigerator, sink, stove). Create a layout that facilitates your workflow.
- Storage: Ensure there is enough storage space. Consider various solutions such as drawers, cabinets, and pantries. Smart storage systems (corner cabinets, pull-out systems) save space.
- Lighting: In addition to general lighting, plan for sufficient task lighting for work areas (e.g., above the countertop). You can add warmth to your kitchen with ambient lighting.
Material Selection
It is crucial that the materials used in the kitchen are durable, water-resistant, and heat-resistant.
- Countertop: Evaluate options such as granite, marble, quartz, and compact laminate based on your budget and usage habits. It is important that it is hygienic and scratch-resistant.
- Cabinet Fronts: When choosing between various materials such as MDF-lam, acrylic, lacquer, and membrane, consider both aesthetics and durability.
- Flooring: You can choose non-slip and easy-to-clean ceramic, porcelain tiles, or water-resistant laminate.

Plumbing and Ventilation
The kitchen is a place with intensive use of plumbing and gas lines. During renovation, these details should be given special attention:
- Water and Drain Lines: Ensure the plumbing is correctly located according to the placement of the sink and dishwasher, and that there are no leaks.
- Electrical Wiring: Ensure there are enough outlets and that they are located in the correct places. Running separate lines for high-power appliances like the oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator increases safety.
- Ventilation: A high-quality range hood and a good ventilation plan are necessary to effectively remove food odors and steam.
