Kitchen Renovations in Springdale Heights
Opening Up the Kitchens This Suburb Was Built With
What Changing the Layout Actually Involves
Opening up an original 1970s kitchen usually means removing or altering a dividing wall between the kitchen and adjoining living or dining space, which requires checking whether that wall carries any structural load first. We assess this properly before any design work begins, rather than assuming a wall can simply come out.
Once the layout is opened up, the renovation typically includes new cabinetry, benchtops, an island or breakfast bar where the space allows, and updated wiring and plumbing to suit the new configuration.
What This Means for a Split-Level Home
Many Springdale Heights properties are built on a slope, so if your kitchen sits on a different level to the rest of the living area, opening the layout up can mean addressing a step or level change as part of the design. We plan for this from the outset so the finished result feels like one connected space rather than two rooms with a step between them.
Questions We Get Asked About Springdale Heights Kitchens
Our kitchen is a separate, closed off room, can it actually be opened up to the living area?
In most cases yes, though it depends on whether the dividing wall is structural, which we check before finalising any design.
Our home is on a slope and the kitchen is on a different level to the living room, does that complicate an open plan renovation?
It does need extra planning, since a level change has to be addressed as part of the layout, and we design around it rather than ignoring it.
Is our 1970s kitchen wiring or plumbing likely to need upgrading as part of the renovation?
Often yes, since wiring and plumbing from that era rarely meets current standards, and we assess this during the initial visit so it is factored into your quote upfront.
Do you service Springdale Heights as part of your regular area, or is it an extra trip?
