Plan Your Project

A kitchen is the most complex and the most used space in the house, so it's important that your kitchen accommodates your needs and lifestyle as closely as possible. To ensure your kitchen fits you perfectly, we recommend taking the following steps…

1. Create A Wish List

One of the most important stages in designing your dream kitchen is creating a wish list, as this will be the starting point for your new kitchen.

Things to include in your wish list:

Magazine Clippings

Highlight photos that attract you
Note interesting accessories and ideas

Photographs

Take photos of kitchens from friends and family that you like
Include current photos of your kitchen- what works, what doesn’t?

Colours & Finishes

Consider the style and period of your home, include elements that reflect this
Document flooring and wall colours in rooms that join the kitchen, this will help determine the look of your kitchen

Likes and Dislikes

List everything you hope to achieve in your new space, taking into consideration things you like / dislike in your current kitchen

2. Determine Your Style

Once you’ve completed your list of what you want in your kitchen, you’ll need to decide what you want your new kitchen cabinets to look like.

How to Measure Your Space:

Overall dimensions: Measure the room from wall to wall in each direction
Note all windows and door openings from the outside of the window casing or door trim
Locate sink and appliance centers
Measure the height of the ceiling from the floor; be sure to indicate if there are bulkheads
Indicate where electrical outlets and light switches are
Measure height and width of all appliances (if keeping them)
