Why Prioritize Appliances Over Kitchen Design

A kitchen remodeling project is something you need to carefully plan for. One of the factors you’ll need to consider are the appliances you currently have and those you’ll need to purchase. During the consultation process with your home renovator, they will advise that you pick your appliances first if you’re planning to replace outdated ones or are adding new ones. However, their recommendations can vary, depending on your project’s end goals.

In today’s blog, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Central Texas explains why you should purchase appliances first before deciding on your final kitchen design.

Ensures That Everything Fits

The optimal kitchen design is based on an arrangement called the “work triangle”, which consists of a work area that includes the sink, range and refrigerator. This layout allows you to easily prepare food. Your kitchen contractor will emphasize picking the appliances first to ensure that they fit into your work triangle. After all, you don’t want to find out that your appliances don’t fit properly mid-project.

Allows for Technical Preparations

By letting your kitchen remodeler know about the appliances you’re purchasing, they can prepare in terms of space, power and plumbing requirements. For example, if you’ve picked a range that uses a different power outlet than your current unit, then your kitchen contractor will need to adjust the wiring to accommodate the new range. Another example is if you have a refrigerator with a built-in water dispenser. You might need to adjust plumbing to utilize this feature. Letting your remodeler know the requirements of your appliances allows you to fully utilize your new appliances.

Prevents Buyer’s Remorse

It’s important to research your prospective appliances early on since they are a significant investment. Once they’re installed, kitchen appliances are difficult to swap, not only due to their technical requirements but their sheer cost as well.
