If you are planning any sort of large remodel, especially one that involves your kitchen cabinets, you might be dreading having to pack up the room. In order to allow the professionals room to work on your kitchen renovation, you’ll need to empty out your cabinets, as well as remove any clutter from the counters and the rest of your kitchen. We know it can be a little overwhelming, so we’ve put together our best tips to make the kitchen cabinet painting prep process easier.
#1 Figure Out Storage
Often times, you’ll find that your kitchen cabinets are storing more than you realize. Whether it’s your dining room table or your basement, find a storage place where everything from your kitchen can stay during the duration of your project. To make it easier to put everything back where it belongs, try to keep it organized as you move things out to your designated place to put everything.
#2 Plan on Paper and Plastic
For some, their plan is to continue using their dishes as normal, but it can be an inconvenience, especially if the dishes aren’t in the kitchen. Instead, plan to use paper plates and plastic utensils for this time. You will save yourself a huge headache.
#3 Purchase Moving Supplies
While you might not be moving, your dishes are. Be sure to take the time to wrap delicate items and pack things with care. You’ll want to make sure that you have the right supplies on hand so that your ceramic, glass, or otherwise delicate dishes don’t break when they are transported out of the kitchen.
#4 Keep Your Silverware Organized
Rather than taking all of your silverware out of the drawers and back, simply lift the silverware drawer organizer out of the drawer altogether. You can even wrap it with plastic wrap to keep everything in place until it’s time to return it.
#5 Use Space Wisely
A lot of your kitchen items can double as storage for other items when you pack. For example, you can fill your slow cooker with utensils, or use a large bowl to hold spice jars. This will help you be able to save space in your temporary storage and make things easier to move around.
#6 Don’t Forget Your Countertops
Your countertops are often home to some of the larger items that you use on a daily basis, such as your coffee maker or air fryer. You’ll probably want to 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
Whether you are planning on redoing your floors or not, you’ll want to make sure you clear them off. You should remove any rugs or mats from the kitchen and be 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 are planning on dinning out for every meal, you’ll want to set up a temporary place to prepare food. Try to plan simple meals that only require one appliance, like the grill or a slow cooker to make meal prep easier and less messy. You should also plan on setting up an area to wash any essential dishes, like the bathroom sink.
