Kitchen design training: How to renovate your kitchen?

Renovating a kitchen requires much more than choosing cabinets and materials that are beautiful.

Traffic clearances, box heights, openings to be reserved for appliances, the choice of cabinet doors and even wall cladding can have a significant impact on the final result.

This is precisely what we address in our training in kitchen design: How to renovate your kitchen?

This first journey opens our plans, our ways of doing things, our secrets and our tips from professionals to help you better understand the different stages of a kitchen renovation.

Kitchen renovation in Quebec

Training in kitchen design: the dimensions that matter

The traffic clearances, caisson heights, and openings to be reserved for each device, with the reason behind each inch.

You will find the clearances we respect, the heights we apply, the openings we reserve for each device, and above all the reasons behind each inch.

Because once you understand the norm, you will know when you can deviate from it.

Circulation standards and kitchen dimensions

A kitchen must above all be comfortable and suitable for everyday life.

In this part of the kitchen design training, you will discover:

  • The clearances and heights that make a kitchen comfortable, and why they exist
  • Openings to be reserved for the stove, oven, hood, refrigerator, and dishwasher

The goal is to better understand the dimensions that really matter when it comes time to design or renovate your kitchen.

The cabinet doors

We move on with the cabinets, and there, the budget is decided by a single decision: the material.

We compare what really exists on the market, from the most affordable to the most refined option, showing you what each one gives over time.

You will learn the small two-second test that reveals the quality of a panel even before asking for the price, up to what height a door can go up before warping, and why a painted door needs a detail that tinted doors do not require.

You will discover in particular:

  • How to recognize the quality of a door material before buying
  • The door height limits and details that protect the warranty
  • What are the spinners, the finished sides, and the cabinet head for?

The kitchen walls and backsplash

Then come the walls, and the backsplash in particular, the one that everyone spots when entering a kitchen.

The possible materials vary according to where they will be placed, and some errors are much more frequent than one might think.

We frankly address the most common mistakes: the color of coulis that ages badly and that we refuse to put, the material that should not be installed behind a stove even if everyone does it, and the backsplash height that distinguishes a kitchen today from those of the 2000s.

You will learn:

  • How to choose a backsplash material depending on where it will be placed
  • The most common backsplash errors and how to avoid them

A training course in kitchen design created by Atelier C3 Design

Atelier C3 Design designs kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces in the Quebec region.
Custom cabinets and furniture, plans to scale, technical elevations and 3D renderings that show the result before the work, then support in the choice of materials, colors and coatings.

We even developed our own collection of colors and our wallpaper collection, because some answers did not yet exist on the market.
