We have prepared a basic guide with tips so that you don&#8217;t make beginner&#8217;s mistakes when it comes to renovating and you can start making More Life in the Kitchen as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Take note, let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<h2>what do you need in your kitchen?\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, we know: you can&#8217;t wait to start looking for inspiration for beautiful kitchens on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.es\/obcocinas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pinterest<\/a>but don&#8217;t rush, there will be time for that.<\/p>\n<p>At first, it&#8217;s all about being pragmatic. That&#8217;s why, if you&#8217;re thinking of changing your kitchen, here&#8217;s a little exercise that we&#8217;re sure you&#8217;ll find useful. It is very simple: take paper and pencil and make a list of the things that you really need in your new kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>You can start with the things you have been noticing for ages in your old kitchen, such as a bigger ceramic hob, a place to store your elegant crockery or a space where you can have breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>If you are starting from scratch and you don&#8217;t have an old kitchen to &#8220;get the kinks out&#8221;, it can help to imagine the day-to-day life in the new kitchen and express the needs in a realistic way. If this task is difficult for you, you can ask yourself questions such as: How many people are in the house?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>how many of us are there in the house?<\/li>\n<li>which small appliances are indispensable in my daily life?<\/li>\n<li>do I usually cook or am I more of an eat out person?<\/li>\n<li>do I like to cook alone or with other people in the house?<\/li>\n<li>how often can\/want to go shopping?<\/li>\n<li>do you have electrical appliances in good condition that you want to use?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Through your answers, you will be able to find out what your needs are and, above all, which ones are a priority for you and which ones can be put on the back burner. Write them down in order of importance so that they are clear to you. This way, if at the time of planning and design it is necessary to give up something, you will know how to distinguish what is necessary and what is a whim.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full ob-post-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" src=\"https:\/\/obcocinas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/240319_guia_para_reformar_la_cocina_2.-pim2-2000_q.jpg\" alt=\"240319_guia_para_reformar_la_cocina_2.-pim2-2000_q\" class=\"wp-image-3478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/obcocinas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/240319_guia_para_reformar_la_cocina_2.-pim2-2000_q-jpg.avif 2000w, https:\/\/obcocinas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/240319_guia_para_reformar_la_cocina_2.-pim2-2000_q-1024x683-jpg.avif 1024w, https:\/\/obcocinas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/240319_guia_para_reformar_la_cocina_2.-pim2-2000_q-1536x1025-jpg.avif 1536w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Toma medidas<\/h2>\n<p>Aunque m\u00e1s adelante la empresa encargada del dise\u00f1o y del montaje har\u00e1 mediciones profesionales, es bueno que prepares un peque\u00f1o croquis o plano con las medidas principales.<\/p>\n<p>Anota en \u00e9l todos los elementos arquitect\u00f3nicos que pueden influir en el dise\u00f1o, como ventanas o pilares; as\u00ed como el lugar de las actuales tomas de suministros (agua, electricidad y\/o gas).<\/p>\n<h2>Elige a tus compa\u00f1eros de viaje<\/h2>\n<p>No nos enga\u00f1emos: tener una reforma en casa no es una situaci\u00f3n id\u00edlica.
