Kitchen renovation – 10 tips from experienced owners

• Electricity errors
  Most beginners, and even experienced owners, have not learned how to determine the number of electrical outlets needed for a room. The kitchen belongs to those rooms where there should be a lot of outlets. This is a socket for a kettle, food processor, refrigerator, stove, microwave oven, dishwasher. Total: 6 outlets. It is worth doing two more sockets as a reserve.
• Plumbing
  The valves should remain in the public domain – it is highly undesirable to brick them into the wall. Imagine a situation of the slightest leak – then you have to break the wall.
• The stove and refrigerator are in different places!
  Many sin by putting them side by side. This should not be allowed. The refrigerator should be in one place and the stove in another.

• General cleanliness during renovation
  All kinds of dust, small pebbles falling under linoleum or wallpaper seriously affect the finishing surface – this must always be considered.
• Laminate is not for the kitchen!
  The surface of the floor must be done as a whole, and not in sections. In addition, it is not worth putting laminate flooring, since it is short-lived and scratches remain on it due to the specifics of the kitchen area. The best choice for technical characteristics is tile or linoleum. See also: What type of flooring to choose for a children’s room?
