Planning a new kitchen can be a stressful experience. With so many things to think about and decisions to make, it’s easy to lose your way and end up with something that falls short of your expectations. A new kitchen is a considered purchase so it’s natural to want something that’s going to tick all the boxes. If you’re considering enhancing your home with a new kitchen, here are some tips to help you plan:
The “working triangle”
This is a term used by many kitchen designers and means the following three things – cooking, food, preparation and cleaning (i.e. – sink area). Your kitchen needs to be functional even if you’re not the biggest fan of cooking, if your kitchen is not user friendly you will definitely regret it. When planning your kitchen, you need to think about where you want your commercial washing machine and the practicalities of how you will actually use the room.
Styling
Choosing the correct kitchen cabinets is key to getting the look you want. If you kitchen is open plan then you need to think about the styling of the other room and how your kitchen can best suit this. If your kitchen is an entirely separate room, you can afford to be a little more adventurous.
Lighting
Having the right lighting can make your kitchen look a million dollars so think carefully before you buy. If contemporary is your thing then try and funk up your light add recessed spot lights and under counter lights. If your kitchen has a traditional style then think about choosing a more ornate style.
Colour
Don’t forget about the colour of the walls and floor, this is cannot be a secondary thought and must decided upon right at the beginning to make sure everything fits together.
