Ticking off the kitchen reno that you’ve always wanted to do can be one of the most satisfying feelings. However, if your kitchen reno project is missing a few essential ingredients, things can quickly run off course.

At Mint Kitchens, we’ve helped plenty of homeowners just like you bring their kitchen renovation ideas to life and know exactly what it takes to ensure the project is a success.

Here are the three most important things we believe are essential for any kitchen renovation project…

1.  A clear design direction

Nailing the design direction for your new kitchen is possibly the most valuable thing you can do to ensure a smooth and successful renovation.

It’s easy to become overwhelmed with design inspiration in today’s environment. From Instagram and Pinterest to interior design magazines and home reno TV shows, there are so many sources you can derive inspiration from. Even if you initially think you know what you like, it only takes a little bit of searching to find yourself being flooded with different ideas.

While not having a clear design direction isn’t necessarily a problem, it can make the decision-making process much harder.

In our experience, the most successful kitchen renos are the ones where a clear design direction is established early in the piece. This makes it far easier to make important decisions throughout the design process and makes for a more pleasant and satisfying experience.

2.  A keen eye for detail

Detailed planning is essential for any kitchen reno.

From perfecting the design drawings to ordering materials, there are plenty of ways things can go wrong if you’re not across the detail. Something as simple as an incorrect measurement can have enormous ramifications if not picked up early.

Having a keen eye for detail during the planning phase can help you avoid a world of issues down the track and ensure the project progresses as planned, on time and within budget.

3.  An experienced team

A kitchen renovation is usually a big investment, so you want to get the most out of it. That’s where experience comes in.

From a designer that’s across all the latest and greatest kitchen design trends, to a project manager that can drive the project and bring it all together, and tradespeople that know how to complete the job to the highest standards, having an experienced team on your side really is worth its weight in gold.

They’ll give you full confidence that everything is in control, that your kitchen will be completed to the best possible standard, and that the finished product will meet your expectations—not to mention that they’ll make the entire process much easier for you as the client!
