They say the stress of moving house ages you by two years, but I'd still choose to move over renovating a kitchen. Having endured the ordeal last year, I can promise you that moving home was a walk in the park in comparison. And yet, it wasn't the gutted room, exposed pipework, or the chaos of not being able to cook that I found most unbearable; instead, it was the ever-stretching timeline.
Asking how long a kitchen renovation lasts is like asking the length of a piece of string. The answer depends entirely on the size of your space, the scale of your plans, and the many variables that can derail the process. The one universal truth, however, is that kitchen makeovers almost always take longer than you expect — or at the very least, they feel like they do.
