TIPS & TRENDSPlanning Your ProjectThe clearer you are on your priorities and goals, the smoother and shorter the design process will be. The better the planning is, the more efficient the implementation. Following are a few tips for getting started. 1. Gather information about what styles and products you like. Use kitchen and bath design magazines, remodeling magazines & online sources to find pictures of what you like (as well as what you don't). Think about your priorities. Start this process about 6 to 8 months before you want the installation to begin. 2. Consult with your family for their input. 3. Come up with a budget so that your designer can steer you toward products and options that will allow you to stay within it. A good starting point for budget costs is Remodeling Magazine’s Annual Report. Note: If you have a home built before 1978, you should be aware of possible additional expense due to new EPA requirements for lead removal. See: the EPA's website. 4. If you have ideas for your layout, sketch them out. 5. For your convenience, please print out and fill in my 'Kitchen Planning Guide' or 'Bath Planning Guide'. TrendsOne definition of a trend is something new, something that may be a passing fad. But a trend can also be a more long-term general movement. Among this second type of trend are green, eco-friendly products; universal design; clever storage ideas; electronics such as lighting systems and smart technology.
