Whether you’re a passionate home chef or simply enjoy family gatherings around the dinner table, a well-designed kitchen can enhance your cooking experience and elevate the overall ambiance of your home. A kitchen remodel is the perfect way to make your entire home feel more expensive and personal. Each kitchen is different and at TGA Renovated we tailor our plans to our clients taste, requests, budget and the home’s infrastructure, but there’s a few main areas we always discuss.
Before diving into a revamp, take a moment to evaluate your kitchen’s current state. What are your pain points? Do you need a full overhaul, more storage, better lighting, or updated appliances? Are you looking to achieve a traditional, modern, rustic, or eclectic aesthetic? Understanding your needs and style preferences is the first step toward a successful kitchen makeover.
Efficient space planning is the cornerstone of a well-designed kitchen. Consider the kitchen work triangle, which connects the stove, sink, and refrigerator. This layout ensures that your cooking, cleaning, and food storage areas are conveniently arranged for maximum efficiency. If your current layout isn’t ideal, a kitchen remodel provides the opportunity to reconfigure the space to better suit your needs. We can plan your layout around your lifestyle,for example we can make it a more social hangout space and open or we could create a chef’s kitchen for food enthusiasts that need an immense amount of prep room.
Next up, cabinetry, a common upgrade to your kitchen. Consider installing custom or semi-custom cabinets to optimize storage. Features like pull-out shelves, deep drawers, and built-in dividers can make your kitchen more organized and functional. Embrace modern cabinet hardware and finishes for a fresh look.
Your choice of countertops can dramatically impact the kitchen’s style and functionality. Granite, quartz, and marble countertops are popular for their durability and aesthetics. Consider a mix of materials, like a butcher block or a granite island countertop, to add variety and depth to your kitchen’s design. We work with our clients closely to determine the best material for their budget, lifestyle and taste.
Another key element in kitchen design is lighting. Combine task lighting, ambient lighting, and accent lighting to create a layered and inviting atmosphere. Pendant lights over the kitchen island, under-cabinet lighting for task areas, and a statement chandelier can all contribute to a well-lit and visually appealing space.
Selecting the right flooring material is crucial for both style and functionality. Hardwood floors lend warmth and character to your kitchen, while tiles and stone offer durability, easy maintenance and a way to infuse personal style and color. Consider the balance between aesthetics and practicality when choosing your kitchen’s flooring.
Lastly, modernize your kitchen with energy-efficient appliances that not only save you money but also enhance your cooking experience. Stainless steel appliances are a timeless choice that complements various kitchen styles. Built-in ovens, induction cooktops, and smart appliances can add convenience and elegance to your space.
Kitchens are not a simple task and require a lot of detailed work and expertise in order for them to stand the test of time and not go over budget. Our team has done thousands of kitchen remodels, ensuring clients leave happy and don’t spend extra money on mistakes and oversights.
