If you’re considering taking on a kitchen reno, The Good Guys have the renovation ideas and advice to help you do it in style. Check out our top 10 ideas on how to make sure your kitchen renovation will give you joy for years to come.
Before you begin a kitchen renovation think about how you want your kitchen to function. Are you feeding a hungry family and need extra bench space, or are you looking to create a showpiece kitchen with all the latest mods and cons?
Some of the more popular layouts for a kitchen upgrade are:
A new kitchen renovation is a great time to think about upgrading your appliances. At The Good Guys there are literally thousands of appliances to choose from, but if you really want to give your kitchen an upgrade check out these must have products for every home cook.
Deck out your benchtop with the latest air fryers, slow cookers and specialty appliances. Save the early morning dash to your barista and make your coffee at home with the latest coffee machines. And if you’ve still got space left over check out our huge range of blenders, mixers, grills, toasters, kettles and more.
If you’re looking to breathe new life into your kitchen, you can’t beat a new colour to freshen things up. The walls, cabinetry, ceiling and even floors can be repainted. Then you can find complimentary kitchen appliances to finish off the look. A good tip to make a small kitchen appear bigger is to go for an all-white palette which makes the kitchen seem brighter and lighter. However, if you’re after something more daring, embrace the dark side and create a sleek black, modern kitchen with matching appliances.
Creating the perfect atmosphere for your kitchen is all about lighting. These days there a three main lighting options to choose from: tracklights provide a great way to brighten bench space without overpowering the room, pendant lights are perfect for making a grand statement, while downlights provide a balanced ambience for the entire kitchen.
When considering what materials to use for your kitchen home improvement, it’s important to decide what style of kitchen you are trying to create. Love the Scandi look? Then it’s all about timber textures, metal accents and white surfaces. The latest industrial kitchen look blends rough textures with smooth surfaces. Think subway tiles, forged iron highlights and as many exposed elements as possible.
If a full-blown kitchen renovation isn’t for you, you’d be surprised at the difference you can make by changing up the cabinetry. You can easily replace cabinet doors for a more modern, sleek look. Another simply kitchen renovation idea is to repaint your cabinetry it’s a great way to give your kitchen a new lease on life. Or for a really quick hack, simply change the door and cabinet handles.
The oven is the heart and soul of your kitchen and getting the right one (or four), can make a huge difference to your kitchen renovation.
When taking on a kitchen upgrade, the first thing to consider is where your oven is going to be located. Then you can choose between a freestanding oven, a built-in oven, or a combination of both. Next, think about the utilities in your kitchen. The location of gas and electrical lines is important for your cooktop and oven. It can be very expensive to move these when renovating.
Finally, you’ll need to consider how what and who you are cooking for. Is a simple, small electric oven going to be enough? Or are you ready to upgrade to the full suite with a steam oven and all the extras to wow friends and family with your culinary skills?
The kitchen you create depends on the space you have available. For a modern kitchen renovation, you might need to knock down walls to create a larger space that can fit an island bench, or are you staying within the existing space? You’d be amazed how you can transform small spaces into a cooking haven with some early planning. Consider a galley or a straight layout for small spaces like apartments.
One of our top kitchen renovation ideas is to add a touch of glamour to your kitchen with a mirrored splashback. You’ll love how it reflects more light around your kitchen, even giving your it an open-plan feeling. Made from safety glass, a mirrored splashback is a hard-wearing surface so you’ll love its durability, but it requires a bit of cleaning to keep it looking good.
When taking on a kitchen renovation, the number one rule is measure twice, cut once. You’ll need to know the width, depth and height of different cavity spaces and bench lengths. Get it right and you’ll be a step closer to the kitchen of your dreams. Remember, every millimetre counts, so make sure you use a tape measure and write your measurements down.
After creating your dream kitchen, it’s time to deck it out with the latest and greatest kitchenware, cookware and cooking essentials. You’ll be cooking like a Michelin star chef with the latest smart technology in your pantry and cupboards.
A typical kitchen renovation can take anywhere from one to three months. But don’t stress! There are a few must-have kitchen appliances that can make the transition go smoothly while you wait. Start by choosing a low-traffic space in your house, such as a laundry, garage or spare bedroom. Then deck it out with a range of small appliances such as a microwave, air fryer, pressure cooker, rice cooker, kettle, coffee machine, toaster and sandwich press. Finally, make sure you don’t pack away all your kitchenware, a few sharp knives and some microwavable containers will save your family from living on 2-minute noodles.
