Your kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s a gathering place. It’s where homework gets
done, lunches get made, meals are eaten, and family relationships are formed.
When you imagine your dream kitchen, what do you see? Open shelving, walk in pantries,
Solid wood cabinetry, clever storage solutions? We see it too… At Wright Kitchen, creating the
kitchen of your dreams is not only our day job, it’s our passion. Which means that sometimes
it’s our night job, and our weekend job.
Get Inspired!
Before you lift a hammer you should have an idea of what you want your new kitchen to look
like! Get inspired by reading home improvement magazines. Get carried away on Pinterest,
create a folder of articles from newspapers and magazines. If you’ve never made a vision
board, now’s your chance! To get started, take a look at this article predicting 12 of 2015’s
hottest kitchen trends.
Perhaps download our Kitchen Planner, which you can find here. The Kitchen Planner allows
you to sketch out the layout of your kitchen to scale. This way you will get a better idea of
the flow your kitchen will have once complete. The Kitchen Planner is a great way to start a
consultation conversation.
But What Do You Need?
What is your current kitchen lacking? What features or capabilities do you wish it offered? Are
they attainable given your budget? You may find it beneficial to prioritize your wish list.
Speak to your family – what do they want?
Find the Right Team
To make your dream kitchen a reality, you need the very best people on your team. Start by
scheduling consultations with contractors to find the right fit for your needs. To each
meeting, take with you your inspiration and your enthusiasm, and keep notes about what
each contractor can offer you.
Apart from your major appliances, the cabinetry in your kitchen is what is going to stand out
the most. Make sure that the cabinetry accurately reflects your style and responds to your
needs. Every Wright Kitchen begins with an obligation free consultation. To be quite honest,
we just really love discussing potential new projects with excited homeowners! We start by
discussing what you see. The material, the functionality, the finishes, the hardware,
everything, and we go from there.
Moving Forward
Once you’ve found the right team, approved the budget and decided on a timeline, it’s time
to get started! Your contractor will tell you exactly what you need to do to help them do
their jobs. In our experience, this involves about one week of paper plates and takeout
menus. It’s a win win for everyone!
Don’t let you your dream kitchen stay a dream. Getting the ball rolling is the hardest step in
any home renovation, but with the right team, the whole project will be a breeze. You’ll be
hosting dinner parties in no time!
