When the main kitchen is under renovation, daily life becomes chaos if you don’t plan for food. Ordering out every day is expensive and unhealthy, and trying to cook in a half-broken space is just stressful.
A mini kitchen can be as simple as a table with an induction cooktop, electric kettle, a few essential utensils, and a small shelf for tea, coffee, snacks and basic groceries. Place it in a dust-free corner of another room or balcony.
Even if you’re only making chai, Maggi, eggs, or reheating food, that small setup gives you a feeling of control. You’re not completely dependent on delivery apps or neighbours.
Renovation is tiring; a stable place for basic meals and hot drinks makes the whole process feel less like camping in your own house.
- What advantage is there in phasing renovation room by room instead of doing the whole home at once?
- How can choosing timeless finishes instead of very trendy ones make a renovation age more gracefully?
- Why is it useful to decide appliance positions before finalising power point locations in a remodelled kitchen?
