Your Home Kitchen
mission Advice to make planning process go smoothly Katherine Roth ASSOCIATED PRESS
So you want a new kitchen? Whether you’re considering designing a kitchen using your own architect, a kitchen planner hired through a store like IKEA or Home Depot, or an online planning service, professionals suggest keeping a few things in mind.

Marie Kondo expands decluttering empire Leanne Italie ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK – People often ask Japanese tidying queen Marie Kondo what containers they need to achieve her brand of organizational success. They expect her to “reveal some hitherto secret storage weapon,” she explains in her popular book.
Instead, she advised when “The LifeChanging Magic of Tidying Up” was first published in Japanese in 2011, “You can solve your storage problems with things you already have in the house.” But Kondo’s thinking has evolved as she’s leveraged her massive, global fan base to expand her empire. She’s now got an upcoming Netflix show and a fledgling corps of consultants working

around the world to help her fans declutter their homes, and, on Tuesday, she launched her first product line: sixpiece sets of beautiful, sturdy paper boxes for $89 a pop. In a recent appearance in Manhattan to announce the show and merchandise line, Kondo said she thinks lovely storage options will spark the life-changing joy she wrote about in her book, which
has sold more than 10 million copies in 40-plus countries. She also hopes the boxes will motivate more people to actually complete all the steps in her laborious KonMari Method of sorting, tossing and putting things away in their right and righteous locations.

Plan ahead, plan way ahead “Many people start planning their kitchen a year ahead of time, and that’s about right,” says John Allen, a services planner at IKEA in the United States. “The more you’ve worked out what you want ahead of time, the more smoothly things will go once you start working with a kitchen planner.” Be as specific as you can about what you like and how much you can spend. “If you already know exactly which appliances you want, and what kind of sink, that helps a lot,” Allen says. Changing a fridge or range halfway through the planning can throw everything off, since even an inch or two difference in appliance dimensions could mean rethinking all the cabinets.
Make your kitchen work for you Do you have kids? Are you righthanded or left-handed? Will more than one person be cooking at the same time? The answers to questions like these affect the placement of microwave, dishwasher, sink, cabinet, kitchen island and more. “If you’re 5 feet tall, 40inch cabinets may not be ideal for you,” Allen says. And just because you’re going with one company for kitchen planning and cabinet boxes doesn’t mean you can’t use another for cabinet and drawer fronts, decorative drawer pulls and more. For example, Semihandmade, a Los Angeles company, makes cabinets, drawer fronts and accessories specifically made to fit IKEA cabinet boxes. Company founder John McDonald says he can offer more upscale veneers “and can manage a lot of customization work that Ikea can’t do, like special door sizes, doors for appliance fronts, and custom bookcases to match cabinetry.”
Consider resale value, especially with floors and countertops Even if going with a laminate countertop seems tempting and more affordable in the short term, consider the impact your choices will make on the eventual resale value of your home. “People move a lot these days, and countertops and flooring always come up in home ads,” Allen says.
Measure, and measure again “There’s a saying that goes ‘measure twice, cut once.’ Well for kitchens, I’d say measure three times,” Allen warns.
Whether you’re considering using your own architect, a kitchen planner hired through a store like IKEA or an online planning service, professionals suggest you start planning way ahead. IKEA VIA AP PHOTOS
“No matter how new or old your house is, chances are things aren’t quite even. And you’ll need to measure outlets and vents and window frames as well.” There’s more involved than meets the eye, and it often pays to hire a professional to measure the room. “The foundation of everything you do is getting accurate and comprehensive measurements up front,” says Rachel Getz, associate merchant in countertops at Home Depot. For between $99 and $129, Home Depot will send a service provider to measure the kitchen and design the project. IKEA will have your site professionally measured and designed for a refundable $199. “No matter who’s doing your kitchen, it’s worth it to invest a few hundred dollars up front to get things properly measured,” says McDonald.
Know when to cut corners and when to leave it to the pros “When clients propose installing their own kitchen, I like to ask them if they installed their own water heater or did their own roofing,” says Allen. “If the answer is yes, they can probably manage it. If not, they may want to reconsider.” To save money, he suggest, homeowners might do the disassembly and painting themselves, leaving the instal-

lation to the pros.
Be realistic about time frame Dismantling and preparing the kitchen and flooring ahead of installation will take time. Contractors often take longer than expected, and plumbers and electricians aren’t always available on the day you’ll need them. And even with perfect turnaround time, custom countertops will take at least two weeks, the experts say, and can’t be templated until the cabinets have been installed.
Have an alternative space set up with a microwave, tabletop and small fridge; you’ll need a place to prepare food while your dream kitchen is in the works. “It’s important to remember that you’re likely to encounter roadblocks that may extend the timeline,” says Stephanie Sisco, home editor at Real Simple magazine. “Whether it’s a surprise that’s uncovered when a wall is opened up or a change is made to the design plan, it can delay your renovation’s progress. So give yourself some wiggle room and don’t plan a party for the day you think it’s going to be completed.”

and size of shoe boxes. (Her book had recommended using real shoe boxes for organizing.) Smaller boxes in the set are akin to iPhone boxes (another reuse hack she recommends). All are intended to be of service on shelves or in drawers (the sets are called Hikidashi, which means “drawer” in Japanese) to hold such things as sunglasses, handbags, papers, socks, undergarments and Tshirts, the latter three lovingly folded in the flat, KonMari-sanctioned way so they stand upright. “I’m probably the only person in the world who makes such an official occasion to introduce empty boxes,” the soft-spoken mother of two recently told a small gathering of journalists through a translator as she unveiled the contain-
ers. “These are meant to enhance your experience of the KonMari Method.” The boxes will also enhance her bottom line. Since Kondo unleashed the best-selling “Life-Changing Magic,” including an English translation in 2014, she has published three other books, earned a spot on Time magazine’s 2015 list of 100 most influential people and given birth to two girls, now 3 and nearly 2. She has given birth to a new business as well: consultants certified by her and sent forth into homes in 23 countries, from Europe and the Americas to Australia and the Middle East. As for her new show, Netflix ordered an initial eight episodes of her series of home consultations but will say little else on the record. For now, it’s all about the boxes, in pale pink, soft gray, taupe and purple watercolor designs. The sets are dubbed Wonder, Harmony, Clarity and Balance.
Customers ordering the containers, for delivery in mid-September from her website, konmari.com, will receive a series of emails and other help online to guide them through the tidying process. Perhaps more important, she hopes to connect devotees to one another online via her take on social networking. “I often hear that it is very difficult to sustain your motivation to tidy when you’re doing it all by yourself, so I very much feel that having this community is very important,” Kondo said. She has adorned just the interiors of the boxes. One set has a purple tree branch with white buds inside. Others are done in abstract swirls. The idea, Kondo said, is to “make the things that you store inside happy,” rather than merely hide belongings away. Their plain exterior design also makes the boxes easier to blend with just about any decor. Kondo, based in Tokyo, told The As-

sociated Press in an interview after the crowd cleared out that she’s not done writing books quite yet. Her next one will focus on workplace organizing. She is traveling less now and no longer does regular home consultations, a business she began building as a 19year-old college student studying sociology. Working one on one again in homes for Netflix was a highlight of Kondo’s year. “It was a very exciting, very enjoyable experience for me,” she said. She has also been engaged in motherhood, not a small thing when your passion since age 5 has been tidying. The unflappable Kondo still lives a tidy life, of course, but young kids have been a challenge. “I try to teach them how to fold clothes. Children are very close observers, so I try to make it so they can watch me folding clothes,” Kondo said. “From time to time I do feel anxious.”
