Kitchen Design
More than anything it's imperative that a kitchen design is tailored to suit your specific needs, whether creating a traditional country kitchen or an ultra modern contemporary design. Kitchens are personal to suit your own tastes and specific needs.
It’s often a confusing process getting design ideas for a new kitchen so here are some ideas to help you.
What sort of layout works best with your space?
These are examples of the most common kitchen layouts you find. They are only guides and most rooms are rarely the perfect shape so very often these have to be varied slightly to accommodate various aspects of the room in question. Once the rough layout is established how do you fill the space?
To begin, start with the appliances. These are the most essential items and they probably also have the most limitations in terms of positioning.
Try to stick to the working triangle wherever possible.
Then think storage. What kind of units will work best in your space?
There are endless shapes and sizes of units to use to fill all sorts of spaces and positions within your layout.
How can you maximize storage?
Use the correct units in the correct positions, tall units at the beginning of a run, corner units where possible and always avoid full drawer units in the corners as this can create a void.
It always pays to purchase a kitchen that is built to order, that way units can be custom made to work with unusual spaces and reduced depths. Very often an awkward space in the kitchen can be filled with a unit made to the requirements of the space thus making great use of a potentially wasted space.
There are also endless storage solutions on the market.
