Neden İşe Yarar
A well-planned kitchen redesign succeeds because it addresses the work triangle — the relationship between the sink, stove, and refrigerator. Optimizing this triangle reduces wasted steps and makes cooking more enjoyable. Beyond layout, the right material choices for countertops, cabinetry, and flooring determine both aesthetics and longevity. Planning thoroughly before any demolition begins prevents the cascading change orders that inflate kitchen renovation budgets.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular
How much does a kitchen redesign cost?
A cosmetic refresh (paint, hardware, backsplash) runs $1,000-$5,000. A mid-range renovation with new cabinets and countertops costs $15,000-$40,000. A full gut renovation ranges from $40,000-$100,000+ depending on size and materials.
What should I redesign first in my kitchen?
Start with the layout if it is dysfunctional, then cabinets (the biggest visual impact), countertops, backsplash, flooring, and finally lighting and hardware. If budget is tight, paint cabinets and swap hardware for the highest impact per dollar.
How long does a kitchen redesign take?
A cosmetic refresh takes 1-2 weekends. A mid-range renovation takes 4-8 weeks. A full gut renovation typically takes 3-6 months including design, ordering, and construction.
