1. Set Clear Goals and a Budget

Before diving into your kitchen renovation, it’s crucial to set clear goals and a realistic budget. What are your must-haves? What kind of style are you aiming for?

2. Plan for the Essentials

Remodeling your kitchen means you’ll be without some essentials, like access to your stove, sink, or refrigerator. To survive the chaos, plan ahead by setting up a temporary kitchenette elsewhere in your home. Our experts at Tile Market of Delaware can offer ideas for creating a functional space while your dream kitchen is under construction.
