- Appliance storage - possibly want other appliances stored in shelving/cupboards for use: microwave, dehydrator, chest freezer.
- Room for ironing board
- Quality & finishes - basic/low cost finishes, while still being quality - no budget for fancy finishes/experiments at this stage given grant and lack of reno experience.
- Cupboards - minimalist/contemporary cupboard door finish, consider hardware/push open/minimalist?
- Colour scheme - primarily white - cupboard doors, walls, ceiling
