The kitchen is widely acknowledged as the heart of any home. It’s a gathering place for family and friends where some of our most special memories are made, not just a room.
Planning to renovate this room can be extremely exciting, and there’s never been more tips available online or in magazines. However, it can be difficult to know where to start.
S&M Solutions Ltd can work with you to create a modern and functional kitchen that you love. Whether you’re looking for inspiration from the latest trends or want a classic, timeless design, we will work with you to achieve the best results. Here are a few tips on planning a transformation of your kitchen:
Decide exactly what your budget will be.
Determine how much you’re willing to spend on your kitchen renovation. You need to create a budget that includes room for unexpected expenses. Our services at S&M Solutions Ltd include planning, design, and a seamless execution, ensuring a smooth and successful project completion.
Determine what your goals are.
If you’re transforming a current kitchen, you need to decide whether you want to create more space, make the room more functional, modernise the design, or all of the above.
If you’re creating a completely new kitchen, you need to ensure the set-up suits your lifestyle. Above is a garage conversion and remodelling service we carried out in Tower Bridge.
The layout is particularly important, with it being best to aim for a functional ‘work triangle’ with a stink, stock and refrigerator. You should also consider features such as an island, larder, and storage solutions.
Many kitchen renovations help to accommodate energy-efficient appliances which can lower your utility bills. Smart technology like smart lighting and appliances can also make your kitchen more of a pleasure to use.
Another place to look is at installing top quality countertops. It’s best to look for durable materials like quartz, granite or a solid surface.

If needed, we can use eco-friendly, sustainable materials during your renovation. Recycled, reclaimed, or FSC-certified wood, and energy-efficient windows can all contribute to a more environmentally friendly kitchen.
A trend for kitchen renovations in 2023 is open shelving which displays dishes and glassware. This helps to create a more airy feel in your room. Adequate lighting can also create a unique ambience, with task and accent lighting excellent for creating an atmosphere.
A good-quality range hood can also help you to remove cooking odours and improve indoor air quality.
Create a personalised kitchen designed for your lifestyle.
S&M Solutions can help you add unique elements like custom cabinetry, a distinctive backsplash, or unique hardware. We can also ensure you have excellent storage solutions, whether it’s pull-out shelves, deep drawers, or vertical storage solutions. A well-organised kitchen will help you keep things tidy and functional.
Another place to look is at your flooring.
In a kitchen, it’s best to pick resilient flooring made of hardwood, ceramic tile, or vinyl. You also want it to be easy to clean and maintain.
If you’re having a kitchen renovation to improve the value of your property, S&M Solutions can ensure it’s transformed with potential buyers in mind. A well-designed kitchen can significantly increase your home’s resale value.
