Decide about walls, floors, and ceilings.
You can design your kitchen to fit with your existing floor covering, ceiling finish, and wall colors, or you can change them.
If you have wall tiles, these can be incorporated, changed, or removed.

Build or install the kitchen or have someone do it for you.
Several companies renovate or build kitchens for low prices.
