Kitchen renovation in Rotterdam: Steps, Ideas and Budgeting with Global Bouw

Remodeling a kitchen is exciting. Not only because you're tackling a space you live in every day, but also because you're making choices that should last for years. We know how important it is to have a kitchen that not only looks good, but also really works for your life. No slick sales pitches, but clear steps, realistic inspiration and honest advice. In this guide, we'll take you through the renovation process, show you what's possible in terms of styles, and give you an insight into what a kitchen renovation really costs.

Step by step: this is how to renovate a kitchen

A successful kitchen renovation is no accident, but the result of good preparation and craftsmanship. That's why at Global Bouw we guide you through every stage. Here is a comprehensive step-by-step plan:

1. Orientation and initial ideas. Everything starts with your wishes. Would you like more light, a different layout, modern appliances or just a fresh look? During a non-binding consultation we will discuss your wishes, take a look at your current kitchen and provide initial practical advice. We will also discuss your style preferences and functional requirements together.

2. Functional analysis and technical inspection. Our experts check the technical condition of your kitchen: water pipes, electricity, ventilation, drains and structural elements. So we know exactly what can stay and what needs to be modified.

3. Layout design and style selection. Together we design a logical layout. We pay attention to the work triangle (cooking, rinsing, storing), walking routes and light. We also choose the style together: modern, classic, or a mix depending on what suits you.

4. Style and material advice. We help you choose between different materials and finishes. Think wood veneer or matte lacquer fronts, composite or concrete-look countertops, and A-brand appliances. All tailored to your lifestyle and maintenance needs.

5. Permits and technical preparation. Does a wall have to be taken out or a window moved? Then we will see if a permit is needed. We guide the entire process with the municipality of Rotterdam, including construction calculations and submission.

6. Planning and coordination. We make a clear planning with fixed dates. No loose contractors or unexpected delays: we coordinate all parties, from demolition to completion. You have a single point of contact.

7. Execution with an eye for detail. During execution, we ensure minimum inconvenience, clear communication and daily consultation. Our craftsmen work cleanly and precisely. Any adjustments during construction? We think along flexibly.

8. Completion and aftercare. After delivery, we check everything together. Is there a scratch somewhere or is a drawer not working smoothly? Then we will solve this neatly. Even after delivery, we remain available for adjustments or just a check-in.

Ideas for your kitchen

Your kitchen is not just another room; it is the heart of your home. Therefore, it should feel like your place. Here are a few cool styles you might get some inspiration from:

• Japandi. Small but beautiful, sleek but warm. Japandi combines the best of Japanese tranquility and Scandinavian coziness. Think soft, natural colors, minimalist furniture with no fuss and lots of wood. It's perfect if you love a quiet place where you can relax completely without any fuss.

• Stainless Steel Kitchen. Do you want to cook like a chef? Then such a cool stainless steel kitchen is for you. Cool, sleek stainless steel countertops, modern appliances and a bit of an industrial vibe. Not only does it look great, but it's super easy to keep clean. Cooking and showing off in one.

• Urban Green. Green is hot and for good reason. This style mixes that fresh, natural vibe with a raw, urban feel. Think plants that bring the space to life, sustainable materials and a nice loose, creative look. Perfect if you're a little eco-minded and like a warm, cozy kitchen.

• Modern Classic. Do you like a bit of chic without being old-fashioned? Then modern classic is your style. Beautiful classic details, like ornate cabinet doors and brass handles, combined with sleek design and smart gadgets. It feels luxurious but very accessible, as if you were having breakfast in a hotel every day.

  
  

Of course, there are many more interior design styles: country, industrial, eclectic, maritime. Global Bouw helps you find the style that suits your space, taste and future plans.

What does a kitchen renovation cost?

What you pay for a kitchen renovation depends entirely on your choices, but you always know in advance where you stand. We work with a flexible but fair pricing model. No hidden costs, no standard packages that do not fit your situation. But always clear agreements about the budget in advance. What determines the price?

• Size of the project. Only replace the fronts or everything including pipes?Materials. Luxury worktops such as natural stone or ceramic cost more than standard laminate.

• Built-in appliances. Quality and brand play a role.

• Extras. Think floor heating, custom lighting or home automation (smart homes).

On average, a complete kitchen renovation in Rotterdam costs between €10,000 and €25,000. Thanks to our approach based on actual costs, you only pay for what actually happens, but always within the agreed budget.

Frequently asked questions about kitchen renovation (FAQ)

Can I keep my current kitchen cabinets and just replace the fronts? Yes, absolutely. If the cabinet construction is still solid, we can replace the fronts, handles and worktop for a completely new look without demolishing everything. That saves time and money.

I have a small kitchen. Can you help with smart layouts? Sure. Especially in compact kitchens, smart layouts are crucial. We look at storage space, working height, lighting and walking routes. Think rotary carousels, apothecary cabinets or extendable worktops.

Do you also install kitchen islands? Yes, provided there is sufficient space and the pipes and ventilation permit it. Together we look at whether an island makes sense for your space and needs, and make sure it is integrated both practically and stylishly.

Do you also do stucco and floor finishes? Yes. We also provide wall plastering, tile flooring, PVC or laminate, as well as finishing with baseboards or lighting. Everything under one roof, so no hassle with separate professionals.

Does Global Bouw only work in Rotterdam? No, no. We are based in Rotterdam, but also perform kitchen renovations in surrounding cities and regions. Feel free to contact us to discuss what is possible.
