Kitchen Remodel

1. Inspiration

Start by pondering on inspiration and ideas for your kitchen renovation. What type of style, design, color, and materials do you like? Is it a sleek wooden kitchen you prefer, or perhaps a beautiful rustic kitchen, or why not a combination? At Nordiska Kök, we offer unique kitchens, and no kitchen resembles another. A tip is to pin pictures you like on Pinterest, save beautiful images from Instagram, and browse kitchen inspiration on our website to find the style you're looking for.

2. Planning

Before diving into the kitchen renovation, it's important to make a plan. Begin by listing your needs and desires and what's important to you. Measure the walls of the room where the kitchen will be located and check where the water and electricity are installed. Also, consider the schedule - when do you want your new kitchen to be ready?

3. Contact Nordiska Kök

When you're ready to start your kitchen renovation, contact Nordiska Kök and get assistance from a personal kitchen designer who will be with you throughout the process, from idea and design to installation of the kitchen.

4. Design - Choose style, color, and material

Together with your kitchen designer, choose the style of the kitchen, color, material, and optional extras. At Nordiska Kök, you always have great flexibility and can choose any color, and we always customize the kitchen based on the room. So, there are no standard measurements; each cabinet and drawer will be exactly the size you want, of course, completely free of charge.

5. Order the kitchen

You will receive a 3D sketch of your new kitchen from your kitchen designer, along with a quote, and as soon as you're satisfied with the design and your choices, the kitchen will be ordered, and delivery will be scheduled. You will also agree with your kitchen designer on when you want your new kitchen to be delivered and how it should be delivered. All the information will be provided by your kitchen designer, but you can also read more about how it's done to build a kitchen with Nordiska Kök.

6. Create a temporary kitchen

Before the new kitchen is delivered, the old kitchen should be removed. During the renovation itself, it may be a good idea to set up a temporary kitchen space. Use simple kitchen utensils like a kettle and microwave to manage everyday meals. It may also be wise to plan ahead. Cook meals and freeze them. Everything that simplifies everyday life is appreciated during renovation. If you have the opportunity to move the refrigerator and freezer to another room in the meantime, it will facilitate the situation.

7. Organize and keep tidy

Pack away what is not needed during the renovation and keep only the most necessary items available. Well-organized storage minimizes the mess that can easily occur during renovation and makes life easier. A small tip is to try to keep as good order as possible and stick to daily routines so that the kitchen renovation becomes as smooth as possible.

8. The new kitchen is delivered

During the week that you and your kitchen designer have agreed upon, the new kitchen will be delivered. Make sure you have read through the information sent to you via email and prepare for delivery by laying cardboard on the floor, ensuring you are at home when the delivery takes place, and that the entire order is brought indoors and protected from moisture.

9. Installation of the new kitchen

Now you're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel in your kitchen renovation, and your new kitchen is beginning to be installed. Ensure that the craftsman/carpenter who is installing the kitchen has experience in assembling custom-built kitchens so that your kitchen will be precisely tailored to the room and measurements as much as possible.

10. Have the vision clear

We know that sometimes it can feel like an eternity to renovate, but hang in there! When you take that morning cup of coffee in your new kitchen, it will be worth it. You've finally got a kitchen you've chosen entirely on your own and that you'll be able to enjoy for a long time to come.

How long does it take to renovate a kitchen?
