A Guide to Bringing Your Dream Kitchen to Life
Beginning a new kitchen adventure with A&S Home Design is going to be an exciting, inspiring trip filled with dreams and the realisation of being able to transform one of the most beloved areas of your home.
That is what makes this journey all the more special: It marries your vision to pragmatism to convert the heart of your home into the truest manifestation of personal taste and lifestyle. Getting started can seem a bit daunting with so many decisions from beginning to end.
That’s why we’ve developed a guide to make your kitchen renovation journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Read on for our guide below and check out our blogs on Why German Kitchens are the best here and 2024’s Kitchen Trends here.
Laying the Foundations of Your Dream

So, here is a step-by-step of how to come up with your dream kitchen—the perfect space for a sanctuary capturing all aesthetic preferences and practical needs.
Think over the next set of questions; each of them is to help you shape up that dream of your new kitchen.
How should the kitchen look in view of the atmosphere, and what would inspire the decision for a new kitchen?
Consider the layout of your current kitchen: what do you love about it and what would you change?
Identify what your new kitchen will need and any optional extras. How is the kitchen going to be used?
Purely for cooking, or as a room people congregate in too?
How important is having plenty and varied types of storage?
Consider what appliances you absolutely have to have and what you really want.
Allow a friend or family member who has just redone their kitchen to help you refine that dream just a bit more. Or better still, talk to an A&S Home Design experienced kitchen designer and they will only be too happy to support your dream design take shape.
Aligning Dreams with Financial Realities
When budgeting, key the scope of your dream kitchen into your financial boundaries.
Develop a sound financial plan with the simple considerations: are you just keen to update the space you have now, or are you planning to totally overhaul everything?
Will the renovation project retain the current layout, or do you intend to extend it and even make structural changes.
Is now the time to consider new spaces like a walk-in pantry, utility room, flowing new dining and living space, or what about adding that small home office working space to your renovation?
