Renovating your kitchen is a big project, but with proper planning, everything becomes simpler.
Follow these 7 steps to plan your kitchen renovation.
Step 1: Gather Ideas for Your New Kitchen
Before you get started, take the time to explore the styles that appeal to you. Do you prefer a timeless classic kitchen, a sleek modern design, or a warm, natural ambiance? Colours, materials, and finishes play a key role in setting up the atmosphere of your space.

Step 2: Define Your Renovation Budget
Setting your budget is an important step in organizing your project and ensuring everything runs smoothly. Costs can vary depending on the size of the space, the materials chosen and the scope of work. For example, at Kwizine in Stock, a standard-sized kitchen can be completed for an estimated amount between $6,000 and $12,000.
To establish a realistic budget:
- Determine the total amount you’re willing to invest.
- Allocate this budget to essential elements: cabinets, countertops, appliances and accessories.
- Set aside a contingency fund for unexpected costs, typically around 10 to 15% of the total budget.
By clearly defining your budget from the start, you can make informed choices and avoid surprises along the way.
Step 3: Choose Your Materials and Finishes
The materials you choose play a key role in the appearance, durability, and maintenance of your kitchen. At Kwizine in Stock, we offer several options to suit all tastes:
- Melamine: An affordable and durable choice, perfect for a timeless or Scandinavian-style family kitchen.
- Flat Polymer (P.E.T.): A durable and modern material offering a smooth, resistant surface, ideal for sleek, contemporary kitchen designs.

- Thermoplastic: With its seamless, smooth surface, this material is perfect for modern and minimalist kitchens, offering easy maintenance.
Step 4: Take Measurements of Your Kitchen
Accurate measurements are essential to avoid mistakes.
- Measure the available space precisely (walls, windows, doors).
- Identify electrical outlets, water supply points, and ventilation ducts.
Refer to our measurement guide to make sure you don’t miss anything.
