Kitchens are arguably the most important room in any home. After all, we spend hours preparing meals for ourselves and our loved ones in our kitchens every day. Because of this, you need a functional and beautiful kitchen. We share some things to consider before tackling a kitchen renovation.
Add some colour
Adding colour to your kitchen is a great way to make it look fresh and new. Why not paint your cabinets for a fresh look? Cabinet painting is one of the quickest and easiest ways to transform the look and feel of your kitchen, at a fraction of the cost.
Ensure your space is uncluttered
Less is more when it comes to the modern kitchen, and you won’t find cluttered benchtops or fussy accessories. Additional storage should be worked into the design or planned out with smart storage solutions.
The right lighting for your kitchen renovation
Lighting is something that many homeowners tend to overlook when designing their kitchen. Don’t make this mistake – lighting is a very important factor in functional kitchen design. Regardless of how large or small, your kitchen is, you must always ensure that it receives plenty of natural light as well as artificial light.
A kitchen renovation is all about the aesthetics (and functionality too)
Ensure you incorporate some open shelves to display your favourite kitchen items. You can also add some personality with an appealing splashback. A splashback will introduce color, texture, and pattern to your kitchen space in an instant.

Finding the right Pro for the job
- When you share more details about what you need, Kandua will put you in touch with up to five service providers near you, so that you can get quotes to compare.
- Give the contractor as much information as possible. The more details they have the more efficiently they can quote on the job and also offer their professional advice.
- Once you’ve gotten quotes from different Pros, you can look up their profiles on Kandua to read their reviews and see pictures of their work.
- Choose a Pro that has a good track record and solid recommendations from previous clients.
- Read the quote carefully. Make sure you double-check everything so you know exactly what you are getting yourself into.
Remember, it’s not always about finding the cheapest option. Stick to these tips and take the entire package into account: Reviews of our Pro, your experience in dealing with them and then, of course, the cost.
