Kitchen Planning - Your Preparation for the Visit to the Kitchen Studio
Unfortunately, the purchase of a kitchen in comparison to furniture or household appliances is relatively expensive, because every kitchen purchase is preceded by an individual planning. It is necessary because each room has individual dimensions and connections. Before you go to a specialist retailer for your kitchen planning, you should briefly deal with your personal requirements. For the first consultation, you should carefully consider the following questions as preparation. So you can give the planner the necessary information and you quickly come together for optimal planning.
GATHER INSPIRATION FOR A NEW KITCHEN
If you do not know exactly where to start or how the new kitchen should look, then we recommend a good search in advance. Either you are looking for a few good magazines with ideas for your home or you are searching the internet. At Pinterest or Houzz , you can, for example, compile your own ideas book out of many finished kitchen ideas. Such a collection of ideas is a good preparation. They give first insights into your personal taste and the desired kitchen style and make it easier for the consultant to make you suitable suggestions.

FIND THE RIGHT PARTNER FOR KITCHEN PLANNING
The choice of the right consultant and specialized trade is often not so easy, because one should ideally be both in terms of taste and price on a common denominator. It is best to first pick out different furniture stores, kitchen studios, etc., to hear about which neighbors or friends have already gained experience and finally to arrange a first meeting with various planners. Explain your wishes and let the exhibition kitchens and references show you. Ask for the price range for your dream kitchen or give them a budget. With these impressions, you should first say goodbye and let them work on you.
THE CHOICE OF YOUR KITCHEN ADVISOR
In the second step, think about which planner you felt most comfortable with and make your decision. From now on continue working with your desired planner. So you are both more relaxed in the further kitchen planning and you will be satisfied with its budget offer at an agreed budget.
THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS FOR YOUR KITCHEN PLANNING
Now that you have clarified which kitchen consultant you can work well in terms of taste and price, there are still a number of questions you should discuss during a first planning discussion about your new kitchen.
How should the new kitchen be used?
Style, colors and materials: what do you like?
What is the layout and where are connections?
Does the kitchen have to fit into an open living concept?
How much storage space is needed?
Who uses the kitchen and are children in the household?
Do your cooking habits require specific equipment?
How do you want to integrate a flexible lighting concept?
Do you have pets like dogs or cats and do you want to set up a feeding place in the kitchen for your pet?
