1. Set out a goal
Why are you refacing your kitchen?You should have a clear answer to these questions.
- Does the kitchen look outdated as per current trends?
- Do you host events frequently and need a suitable setup?
- Are the existing kitchen surfaces worn out and need a makeover?
- Is it finally time to spend some money and build your dream kitchen?
Once you are clear about what you want from the kitchen refacing, you can go ahead and plan other details.
2. Meticulous Planning
This is the most important stage of refacing the kitchen. You have to decide on the budget and plan the new design of your kitchen- the materials to be used, colour schemes, and the style; whether you prefer contemporary, modern, trendy, classic, and more. Options are galore, but you must carefully lay out a detailed plan and stick to it while refacing.
You might have to improvise the design as the work progresses, but make sure you do not keep changing ideas at every stage. This will ensure that the execution process is carried out smoothly and the budget does not change radically.
3. Decide the basic kitchen style
Now that you are finally refacing your kitchen, decide on one main design that reflects the style of your kitchen. Do you prefer the old world charm, the Mediterranean classics, or do you like modern and minimalist designs? Sit with your architect and decide the overall look of your kitchen and design and select all features and fixtures accordingly.
Tip - your kitchen should exude your style of living, try bringing out your persona in the kitchen style.
4. Take up individual elements
You have decided on the overall look of the kitchen, now take up the elements individually. Some points to consider are:
- How will you remodel the sink, the counter-tops, will the materials be the same or different?
- Do you want kitchen cabinets, doors, and windows? Or will you like to consult an experienced custom cabinet maker who offers a huge variety of cabinet designs?
- Do you also want new light fittings, cooking, and cleaning gadgets? If yes, what should their style be?
- Will the flooring and walls also be given a new look?
And yes, remember that all the individual fittings and fixtures must complement each other in design, style, and colour.
5. Value vs. Aesthetics
We all like to select the designs that are functional as well as add aesthetic value to the work area. Most often, we have to balance between design and functionality while keeping the budget in mind.

Explore more options, you will definitely find something that suits both your budget and taste.
