Kitchens are an essential part of every home. This means that when you remodel, you'll probably have to design a temporary kitchen to get through the duration of the project when still do not have the essentials. This can be a challenging task to achieve regardless of whether or not you're staying in the home at the time of work or even when it's a simple spruce-up work or complete renovation and demolition.
1. The key lies in the process of planning.
We have learned from our experience that coordination and planning are crucial to make a kitchen remodel as effortless as you can and also to make the most out of your shabby kitchen space.
Work with your builder in planning the renovation so that you have enough room that can be used to set up a kitchen in a temporary setting while other work is taking place. If you are able to make it an entire space (better for keeping dust at bay), then even better. If not, request a countertop in the current kitchen that will be left in place as long as is feasible.
2. Use makeshift kitchen appliances.
We are all in love with a kitchen that is filled with fancy appliances but they're not needed in a situation where you're not able to make it work, therefore think about returning to the basics. Small appliances that are second-hand can be purchased for incredibly affordable prices on resale sites.
A kettle, a toaster, a microwave, and even a hotplate could all be bought at a bargain price and are all you'll require to get you through the task.
3. Make use of gas supply sources that are temporary.
If you have a collection of camping equipment, this is the time when it truly can shine. Camping stoves are great for boiling water and making an easy meal not equipped with the standard kitchen appliances.
If you do not have them in storage, going to the nearest outdoor retailer is a much less expensive option than buying the entire equipment. Additionally, it's likely you'll make use of it in the future.
If nothing else works, the use of your existing stove at certain times during the renovation might be an option.
4. Be aware of your water source.
Ideally, your kitchen should have a water source. It doesn't matter if you're building on a floor in your kitchen or have located a space that is suitable in a different space, it is essential to be close to a functioning water source for even the basic tea run and washing dirty cups.
If you don't think that you could plan a tap in the space your kitchen-in-a-box will be installed in, a bathroom, laundry, or outside tap could work. The traditional washing-up bowl comes in handy in this situation. We've also seen stylish ones available recently, which could make it much simpler.
5. Store and pack everything you don't need.
We love having a kitchen that is packed with professional ingredients to try different recipes. However, you don't need all that cluttering up your kitchen. You must be honest when it comes to the kitchen's contents to just what you'll require.
The remainder will be put away so that you can find it in the event you require something unique. However, the less items placed on the table, the more efficient.
This is also true for appliances, so finding an option that has multiple functions is a huge benefit. And make sure you leave enough food prep space.
