Remodeling your kitchen is a big undertaking. You have a unique vision in mind for the final product and you know all the hard work will be worth it. One of the things that many people forget to budget for in their kitchen remodeling budget is new kitchen gadgets and kitchenware. Imagine you just renovated your whole house and put all your old stuff back into it. How would it look? Would it feel like a letdown instead of something that gets you excited? That’s what it’s like when you renovate your kitchen and put all your old appliances and kitchen gadgets back into the space.
Let’s be real, you updated and upgraded everything else, why wouldn’t you do the same for the things that you use regularly? Here are the most important kitchen supplies you’ll need to update as well after a remodel.
Sleek Coffee Maker
Are you still using that old coffee maker from college? It’s time to upgrade to something more sophisticated that coordinates with your professional kitchen design. There are many options from espresso makers, K-cup style coffee makers, and programmable drip coffee makers as well. Getting a new coffee maker also offers you the perfect excuse to get the best coffee subscription so you’ll always have a delicious roast on hand. Invite friends and family over to enjoy meals made in your new kitchen.
Coordinating Pans
Those old pans are going to stick out like a sore thumb in your new kitchen design. While it shouldn’t matter what they look like when you’re cooking on your new professional stove and baking in your wall ovens, you don’t want pans that are so old and gross they look like they should be thrown away. The simple experience of cooking in your new kitchen should be positive all around. Budget for those new pans that you’ll use most of the time so they can look great in your kitchen while you whip up delicious meals for your family.
Fresh Juice Maker
Juicing has incredible health benefits. But in the context of a kitchen remodel, your juicer needs to look as good as your cabinets. This is especially true if you’re the kind of person who leaves their appliances on the countertop. Getting a new juice maker can not only help your new kitchen look amazing, but it can also spur you on to healthy habits.
Reusable Straws
Do you love serving drinks with straws? Get a colorful variety or sleek stainless-steel straws that you can keep on your kitchen counter in a container. The colorful variety will not only look great but also helps people drink more when they have a straw ready to go. Putting this simple little gadget on your counter in your new kitchen can help you develop better habits for drinking water and making sustainable changes to your lifestyle.
Smart Meat Thermometer
Want to get the perfect roast beef or the best turkey come the holidays? Using a smart meat thermometer helps you track the temperature of your meats using your smartphone. You can easily track the temperature while you’re enjoying time with guests without needing to constantly run to and from the kitchen if you’re gathering in a different room. Your new kitchen needs this important gadget.
New Dishware
What were your inspirations when you started to remodel your kitchen? Did you see something in a magazine, while you were scrolling Instagram, or on a renovation show? How did it make you feel? What was it that helped you finally decide how to remodel your own kitchen? Often, it’s not just the cabinets and flooring that make a remodel look appealing. It’s all those styled details like glasses, dishware, table settings, décor, and even lighting. When it comes to remodeling your kitchen, you want dishes that coordinate with the new look and feel of your kitchen. Be sure to budget for these little things so you can fully enjoy all the hard work and money you put into your kitchen.
