21 kitchen design ideas for your next reno or build

Planning a kitchen reno? First, define your goal (forever home vs. resale) and scope (full overhaul vs. cosmetic updates). Consider hiring a designer for expert guidance.

Start with the layout, focusing on the 'working triangle', and create a mood board to ensure a cohesive theme. Prioritize practical elements like task lighting, ample storage using drawers over cabinets, and select appliances before finalizing cabinetry. Choose durable, easy-to-maintain materials for long-term satisfaction and value.
