You are ready to start your remodeling project but you are not sure where to begin. Statistics show that your kitchen is the one room in the house that has the most traffic. Also turns out that it is one of the most expensive rooms to renovate for your home improvement project. If you think about it, most of the other rooms in your home just need a coat of paint or you can put up some crown molding. Add a new rug or sand the hardwood floors and its done. The kitchen needs a complete overhaul from the ground up if you want a complete kitchen remodeling.
A kitchen remodeling involves cabinets, countertops, appliances and flooring. When your kitchen is stripped down, it usually exposes all the nonconforming issues such as dated wiring and faulty plumbing. This needs to be replaced but the good thing is since the kitchen is now in the early planning stage, you can now relocate that kitchen floor plan to a more effective, sensible layout.
Kitchen planners can help you to decide the exact location of all the new cabinets and utilities. Most home improvement service companies can steer you in the right direction. You can go to a custom cabinet maker, a local cabinet wholesaler or even Home Depot or Lowes. At this stage, you will need to decide on the budget you have set aside for your kitchen expansion and or kitchen renovation. The kitchen planner will then show you the cabinets that fall into your budget. Once that part of it is decided, the planner will piece the kitchen together and after your approval, a floor plan will be generated and printed for your builder to use. This kitchen blue print will be needed as the utilities are installed. After the kitchen has been stripped down, the builder will need to start installing your utilities such as wiring , plumbing and hvac.

If you have a kitchen expansion built, you can open an archway into the new extended kitchen. When doing this, I highly recommend a raised header ( the term is a "flitch plate" ) so your ceiling heights match from the old room into the new room . This gives the ceiling a nice smooth flow and makes it less noticable that the addition was put on.
What size Kitchen renovation -expansion do I need? The answer is , every case is different. Many times rooms off the back of homes range anywhere from 200 square feet to 600 square feet just for a new kitchen. Every case is different. Your home improvement contractor will be able to help you decide. Most new kitchens have islands now. In order to accommodate an island, the kitchen needs to be extended bigger than what they used to be years ago. Ninety percent of new kitchen floor plans have the island with a rinse sink, microwave and even wine coolers all built inside the island. When the counter tops are installed, the top is extended past the lower cabinet so that stools can be placed and now the island can be used as an eating area. Throw in some pendant lights and it's a hip station to hang out at and have a glass of wine Friday night after work.
