2. Build Your Budget

Once you understand your needs and goals for your new kitchen, you can start building your budget:

Decide how much you want to spend, and stick to it.

Set aside some funds for any unexpected expenses.

Create a spreadsheet to stay organized and track how much you’re spending.

Keep in mind how much time and energy you’re willing to spend. A DIY approach can save expenses, but can take longer to complete; and depending on your level of experience, there can be risks involved. Sometimes there are more savings in the long run by seeking help from professional contractors.

Stay in Your Budget with Credit Financing

Consider credit financing options that can help make your ideal kitchen an affordable reality. With Lowe’s Consumer Credit, there are no payments, no interest, and no fees for your kitchen purchases if paid in full within the year. This covers special order kitchen cabinets, appliances, and countertops!

3. Measure & Sketch Your Kitchen Layout

There are four common kitchen layouts: one-wall, galley, L-shape, and U-shape. Measure your kitchen cabinets, countertops, and appliances in detail (width, height, length) and try to draw a rough sketch of your current layout.

Accuracy is key for a smooth, stress-free kitchen renovation, and will ensure your new appliances, counter tops, or custom cabinets will fit together perfectly.

Tip: Remember electrical outlets and plumbing fixtures, this will affect how you will layout your kitchen cabinets and where you’ll place items, such as the kitchen island, sink, faucets, and appliances.
