Deciding to stay in your home during a kitchen remodel can be stressful.
Have you decided to take the leap and begin a kitchen renovation while still living within your home? Deciding to stay in your home during a kitchen remodeling process could help cut down the overall costs and save you money during renovations. Although an affordable route, it could also cause a headache for even the most prepared and experienced homeowners, leaving a lot wondering how to survive a brand-new kitchen remodel. With the kitchen transformed into an active construction area, you will lose access to one of your home’s most crucial spaces. This can seem like a challenging situation to deal with for a lot of homeowners, especially with those who have work and school day routines. Read on to learn more!
Preparing for Living During the Remodeling Process
Even before you set up a temporary kitchen and get started on the kitchen renovation itself, there are a few things to straighten up around the house to help yourself stay relieved of stress during this project. Between the consistent sounds of power tools running, crews of contractors, or a kitchen remodeling crew going through your home, and what seems like multiple layers of drywall dust coating each crevice of your home, it is easy to get overwhelmed during a live-in kitchen renovation. Do not worry, though; there are a couple of ways to mitigate the stress of construction before it begins, so you can keep looking forward to your beautiful brand-new kitchen.
Prioritize Organization
One of the most crucial aspects of ensuring a painless and smooth kitchen remodeling process is organization. If you are not already a “Type A” person, getting yourself fully organized before a kitchen renovation can seem daunting, but there is no need to worry. There are many ways to pack and straighten things up before the remodel project starts to set yourself up for a much more enjoyable live-in remodel. Start with your essentials, think about the cooking utensils and other small appliances you will use and how you’ll store food. Put aside the kitchen supplies you know you will need in your makeshift kitchen before packing the items you will be less likely to use.
In addition to plates and other types of kitchen utensils, remember that you will need the right items to prepare and cook your food and wash dirty dishes during the remodel process. Leave everything you think you may need to maintain some semblance of normalcy out in other rooms to make sure you are ready to say goodbye to your old home kitchen.
