Kitchen & Laundry Renovations

Kitchen & Laundry renovations are a popular and exciting project for homeowners looking to update and enhance one of the most important spaces in their homes. A well-designed kitchen not only improves the functionality of the space but also adds value to the property. However, the process of renovating a kitchen can be overwhelming and complex, involving various decisions and considerations. From choosing the right finishes and layout to selecting the best appliances and cabinetry, there are many factors to take into account when embarking on a kitchen renovation project.

 

One of the key elements of a successful kitchen renovation is the cabinetry. The cabinetry not only provides essential storage space but also plays a significant role in defining the overall look and feel of the kitchen. When it comes to cabinetry, there are various finishes to choose from, each with its own unique benefits and costs. For example, high-quality brands such as Polytec & Laminex offer a wide range of finishes, including woodlook, laminate, and 2 Pac. Woodlook finishes are popular choices for their timeless appeal and durability. They mimic the look of wood but are easier to clean and maintain. Laminate finishes, on the other hand, are more budget-friendly and come in a variety of colors and patterns. 2 Pac are easiest to customise and they can be any colour you please!

 

In addition to the finish, the layout of the cabinetry is also crucial in maximizing storage and optimizing the functionality of the kitchen. Drawers are a popular choice for their ease of access and organization, allowing homeowners to store and retrieve items with minimal effort. Cupboards, on the other hand, offer more storage space and can be customized with features such as pull-out shelves and lazy Susans for added convenience. Overhead storage and pantries are also great options for keeping the kitchen organized and clutter-free, providing ample space for storing pots, pans, and pantry items.

 

Another important aspect of a kitchen renovation is the selection of benchtops. Benchtops come in a variety of materials, including stone, laminate, timber, and stainless steel, each with its own distinct features and advantages. Stone benchtops, such as granite and quartz, are highly durable and heat-resistant, making them ideal for busy kitchens. Laminate benchtops are a more affordable option that comes in a wide range of colors and patterns to suit any design aesthetic. Timber benchtops add warmth and character to the kitchen but require more maintenance to keep them looking their best. Stainless steel benchtops are a sleek and modern choice that is easy to clean and maintain, making them ideal for busy households.

 

Splashbacks are another essential component of a kitchen renovation that not only protect the walls from spills and splatters but also add a decorative touch to the space. Glass splashbacks are a popular choice for their sleek and contemporary look, available in a wide range of colors and patterns to complement any kitchen design. Tile splashbacks are a more traditional option that offers endless design possibilities, from classic subway tiles to intricate mosaic patterns. Stainless steel splashbacks are a durable and easy-to-clean choice that adds a modern touch to the kitchen, while stone splashbacks provide a luxurious and sophisticated look.

 

When it comes to appliances, there are various brands, sizes, and types to choose from, depending on personal preferences and cooking habits. High-quality brands such as Samsung, LG, and Bosch offer a wide range of appliances, including refrigerators, ovens, cooktops, and dishwashers, in various sizes and styles to suit any kitchen design. Refrigerators come in different widths, from standard 30-inch models to larger 36-inch and 42-inch options, with features such as French doors, bottom freezers, and built-in water dispensers. Ovens are available in single and double configurations, with options for convection cooking, steam cooking, and self-cleaning functions. Cooktops come in gas, electric, and induction models, each with its own pros and cons in terms of heat control and efficiency. Dishwashers vary in size and capacity, with features such as adjustable racks, third racks, and quiet operation for added convenience.

​

When renovating a kitchen, price is almost impossible to give a guide. Depending on size and finishes we reccomend $25,000-$50,000 as a solid starting point.
