Planning a kitchen renovation? You’re about to transform one of the most important spaces in your home. With the right steps in place, your kitchen renovation can run smoothly from concept to completion. Here’s a clear, expert-backed guide to help you plan your kitchen renovation timeline with confidence.
- Define Your Kitchen Renovation Goals
Start by visualising your dream kitchen. Think about how you cook, how much storage you need, and what style suits your home. Visiting a Kitchen Connection showroom is a great way to explore the latest kitchen designs, styles, and finishes in person. It’s the perfect place to get inspired and start shaping the kitchen that suits your lifestyle.
- Collaborate With Kitchen Renovation Experts
Partnering with experienced kitchen renovation experts early in the process is key. At Kitchen Connection, our consultants and designers help refine your ideas, introduce you to the latest trends and storage innovations, and ensure everything aligns with your home’s structure and local building regulations. Whether you’re after a contemporary or classic design, our team guides you through every decision with practical, stylish solutions.
- Finalise Design and Selections
Work closely with your kitchen designer to finalise the layout, cabinetry, benchtops, appliances, and finishes for your new kitchen. Early selection of materials and fixtures is crucial, as some items may have longer lead times.
- Prepare for Rip-Out and any structural works
Clear out your existing kitchen and set up a temporary cooking space. Rip out involves removing old cabinetry, appliances, and fixtures, making way for the new kitchen. If you’re knocking down walls or doing any structural work at all, ensure any furniture and fixtures have also been removed from the area.
- Cabinetry and Benchtop Installation
Once your new kitchen cabinets are delivered, it’s like a jigsaw puzzle. Cabinet installers get to work on installing brand new cabinetry. Depending on the size of the kitchen, this could take upto 2 days. Once the cabinets are in, its time for the benchtop to be installed. While laminate benchtops can be installed in a day, stone benchtops are a much longer process. From templating to installation, you could be looking at 2 weeks.
- Appliance, fixtures and flooring
Your new kitchen is almost ready at this stage. Appliances, lighting and plumbing fittings like sink and taps go in one by one. If your kitchen renovation involves new flooring, these are generally installed at this stage. Similarly, any wall treatments, such as painting or tiling being.
- Final Touches and Inspection
Conduct a thorough inspection to identify any issues or adjustments needed. Add finishing touches, such as decorative elements, to complete your kitchen’s look. Inspect all your new appliances to make sure they are all functioning correctly.
All up, a kitchen renovation will take between 6 to 12 weeks from finalising your design to completion. By following this structured timeline and collaborating with experienced professionals, you can ensure a seamless kitchen renovation experience.
