First, you must get rid of everything that you want changed in your current kitchen. For example, if you don’t like the colour of the cabinet doors or its condition is poor, then they will have to be removed. You will have to remove all electrical appliances fixed to the kitchen as well.

Put away all your cutlery, plates and other equipment that you have stored in your cabinets and countertops away in boxes. Separate them in an organised manner and label them so it will be easier to unpack in your new kitchen. Before you store them away give it good dust-off as well to ensure that clean cutlery would be stored back in your new kitchen.

Also, note down all the defective things in your existing kitchen. For example, if there are drainage issues, have your drains fixed and cleaned today. A professional will be able to recognise the problems and fix them. You don’t want any water leaks in your new kitchen ruining the wood of your new kitchen by enhancing mould formation. It is both hazardous to health and also unhygienic. Likewise, if there are any electrical wiring issues, get an electrician’s help to deal with it.
