Renovating your kitchen is one of the best ways to add value, style, and functionality to your home. Whether you’re planning a full remodel or a simple update, understanding the process is key. At Nrmltd, we help homeowners across London and Essex bring their dream kitchens to life with expert craftsmanship and seamless project management.
Here’s a simple guide to get you started on your kitchen renovation journey.
- Plan Your Budget
Before anything else, set a realistic budget. Think about how much you want to invest and where you want to focus your spending — appliances, cabinets, countertops, or layout changes.
✅ Tip: Always allow a little extra for unexpected costs (around 10–15% of your total budget).
- Define Your Needs and Style
What do you want from your new kitchen?
- More storage?
- An open-plan design?
- Modern or traditional style?
Make a list of must-haves and nice-to-haves. Browsing websites, magazines, or visiting showrooms can help you get inspiration.
- Choose the Right Layout
The kitchen layout impacts everything — from workflow to comfort. Popular layouts include:
- U-shaped kitchens for maximum workspace
- L-shaped kitchens for open-plan living
- Galley kitchens for compact spaces
- Island kitchens for social and functional use
At Nrmltd, we work with you to design a kitchen layout that suits your lifestyle perfectly.
- Focus on Quality Materials
Invest in durable, high-quality materials. Kitchen cabinets, worktops, and flooring take daily wear and tear, so it’s important to choose finishes that last.
Popular choices include:
- Quartz or granite countertops
- Hardwood or high-quality laminate floors
- Solid wood or moisture-resistant cabinets
- Lighting Matters
Good kitchen lighting isn’t just about style — it’s about functionality too. A layered lighting design is ideal:
- Task lighting (for countertops and sinks)
- Ambient lighting (general ceiling lights)
- Accent lighting (under-cabinet or feature lights)
Great lighting brings your kitchen design to life!
