How To Survive During A Kitchen Renovation: Tips And Tricks
Depending on how large your kitchen is and the scale of the renovation, you may not have access to your kitchen for a matter of weeks! This can be extremely disruptive to your routine, especially if you have children and are used to preparing family meals every evening, but your brand new kitchen will be 100% worth it.
As kitchen renovation experts in Auckland, the team at Art Stone provides you with some practical tips for surviving a kitchen renovation and maintaining a level of normalcy in life while your kitchen is under construction.
Setting Up a Temporary Kitchen Space
Before your renovation begins, you may want to move some of your appliances to another part of the house and set up a temporary kitchen. It may not be ideal, but at least you’ll be able to prepare basic meals and store fresh food in your fridge. In some cases, this may not be possible, and that is why we’re going to provide you with a few alternative solutions.
BBQ
If you don’t have a good BBQ grill, now may be the time to invest in one. BBQ grills easily allow you to prepare a wide range of different meals outside. This can be a fun way to step away from your temporary kitchen, if you have one, and enjoy a few evenings outside with your family.
Invest in Nutritious Microwave Meals
Even if you can’t set up an entire temporary kitchen, you’ll likely be able to set up a microwave somewhere in your home. Not all microwave meals are unhealthy, so keep an eye out for nutritious microwave meals that you can stock up on during your kitchen renovation.
Cook at a Friend’s Place
Offer to cook a friend and their family dinner if they allow you to use their kitchen. This is the perfect solution if you’re missing cooking in a full-sized kitchen. Cooking for your friends or family is a great way to spend time with the people you care about, and it gets you out and away from your home.
Now that you have an idea of how you’d eat while your kitchen is under renovation, you may be ready to take the first step toward your dream kitchen. Here at Art Stone, our experts would love to be part of your kitchen renovation.
