Beside the sequence of events, you need to know the timeline as in how long for each stage. Start selecting your tiles and sanitary wares for your kitchen and toilets as it will take sometime to agree (I am assuming you have to discuss with your family) on the colors and design of the tiles, the type of taps, mixers etc. Also think about where you want to locate your switches and lightings. If you are getting refrigerator with auto ice maker, you need to decide the position as well so your contractor put a water and power point near it. All these take a lot time for decision when you have a few persons to discuss and decide. Dun get into a situation where your contractor tells you they are waiting for you to get to the next stage and put the delay to you and you will be forced to make hasty decisions. Good luck and hope you have a beautiful home when it completes.

If you're still deciding on fixtures, round LED lights are a reliable and energy-efficient choice for most home interiors. Their sleek, minimal design blends well with both modern and classic aesthetics, and they offer excellent light distribution without harsh shadows. Round LED lights come in various color temperatures and lumen outputs, so you can customize the mood in each room—cool white for task areas like kitchens, and warm white for cozy living or bedroom spaces.

Try blocking off one of the doors that leads into the kitchen for more space?

What can I put on the side board to make it look good? I removed most of the things that were previously there. I was thinking of hanging a big mirror as we have enough art on other walls in the living/dining room. Maybe big lamps? Would appreciate photo ideas. Thanks!
