8 Signs you’re ready for a new kitchen


8 Signs you’re ready for a new kitchen

If you’ve been thinking about remodelling your kitchen for a while but haven’t quite got round to it yet, here are some signs it might be high time to get serious!

A new kitchen isn’t just about the colour scheme or the cabinets. It’s about how you feel when you walk in.

You probably have a few things on the wish list for your kitchen: an updated look, an island, more storage space. If you’ve been thinking about remodelling your kitchen for a while but haven’t quite got round to it yet, here are some signs it might be high time to get serious!

You’re renovating your house.

Maybe you’re already building an addition or remodelling the entire house. You might want to take advantage of your situation and make everything as efficient as possible by getting a new kitchen as well.

Trends have moved on

If your kitchen is over a decade old, chances are you’ve got some tired-looking cabinets on your hands. While they may have been state-of-the-art at the time, you’re now constantly viewing your ‘must-have’ kitchen everywhere in interior magazines and online.

You’re tired of dealing with issues like leaky pipes or broken appliances.

Sticking with your existing kitchen could be costing you more money. Have you just sorted out that dishwasher that isn’t, well, washing dishes, only to be faced with the larder door that isn’t shutting properly? When you start noticing more problems than solutions, it might be time for an upgrade.

Your kitchen doesn’t reflect your current personality or style.

Maybe it did a decade ago when you first moved in, but now you’ve changed. Perhaps you’ve become more minimalist in your design choices, or you want to incorporate specific colours or materials that you didn’t like a few years back.

You’re at a different stage in life.

Maybe your kitchen was designed for a family of three, but now you’re a family of five. Or perhaps you’re a recent empty-nester and don’t need the extra space anymore. Whether you want to create more storage out of an awkward corner, or swap out a larder for that elusive wine-fridge, a new kitchen is a great way to achieve it.

You’re frustrated with the layout.

The layout is awkward, there’s no space for entertaining, cooking or even working, and everything is just too cramped. Perhaps the pandemic has highlighted how you’re tripping over each other trying to do your own thing. You don’t need to stick with an inefficient plan any longer.

You want more out of your appliances.

The cost of living crisis has impacted us all. You’re seeing a lot of eco-friendly, energy-efficient options in the market, and you want your appliances to be just as green. You’re sick of your appliances breaking down on you and not being able to find the parts for them. Perhaps it’s time to install more innovative and sustainable appliances in your kitchen?
