If you’re preparing for a kitchen remodel that includes repainting or refacing your cabinets, you might be feeling apprehensive about packing up your kitchen. In order for the professionals to work on your cabinets, you’ll need to empty them out and declutter the countertops and the rest of the kitchen. We understand that this can seem daunting, so we’ve compiled some helpful tips to simplify the process of preparing for cabinet painting in your kitchen here at N-Hance of Pompano Beach.
#1 Figure Out Storage
It’s likely that your kitchen cabinets are holding more items than you realize. To simplify the process of moving everything back in, it’s important to stay organized as you remove items and designate a specific location for each one. Whether it be your dining room table or basement, find a suitable storage area where all your kitchen belongings can be kept together.
#2 Plan on Paper and Plastic
While some individuals may intend to continue using their dishes as usual, it can be quite inconvenient to use kitchenware that’s not in the kitchen. Therefore, opting for disposable paper plates and plastic utensils during this period can alleviate a significant amount of stress and hassle.
#3 Purchase Moving Supplies
Although you may not be relocating, your dishes are. It’s crucial to have appropriate supplies readily available to ensure that delicate kitchenware such as ceramic and glass items do not break during transportation. Take the necessary precautions to wrap fragile objects and pack everything with utmost care.
#4 Keep Your Silverware Organized
Instead of having to take out and put back all of your silverware, simply lift the silverware drawer organizer out of the drawer altogether. You can wrap it with plastic wrap to keep everything in place until it’s time to return it.
#5 Use Space Wisely
Kitchens often have many items that can double as storage for other items when you pack. For instance, fill your slow cooker with utensils, or use a large bowl to hold spice jars. This will save you space in your temporary storage and make it easier to move things.
#6 Don’t Forget Your Countertops
Countertops are often home to larger items that you use on a regular basis, such as your coffee maker or air fryer. Make a plan for these items so you can still use them while the rest of the kitchen is out of commission.
#7 Clear the Floors
Even though you may not be redoing your floors, you will want to clear them off. Remove rugs and mats from the kitchen and make sure that there is a clear path from the door to the area being renovated for the crew to use.
#8 Set Up A Temporary Kitchen
Unless you plan to dine out for every meal, you will want to set up a temporary place to prepare food. Try to plan simple meals that only use one appliance, like a grill (if it’s warm out) or a slow cooker to make meal prep easier and less messy. Also set up an area to wash any essential dishes, like the bathroom sink.
