Kitchen design – meeting your needs
First class bespoke kitchen design is a blend of practicality and stunning aesthetics, targeted to meet the needs and lifestyles of those living there.
Whether you are reworking your current kitchen or completely changing it with a bespoke kitchen design, there are a number of points to consider.
Firstly consider the feel you wish to create, your ambiance. Next it is worth looking at the main factors that influence the feel such as worktops, cabinet styles and colouring, tiling and possibly updated appliances. The trend at present is for contemporary kitchen designs. Otherwise the trend is for more traditional feel.
Secondly, a successful kitchen design comes from a complete understanding of the requirements of the kitchen users.
To do this think about how the room will be used “Will you need a stand-alone eating area? How often are you entertaining guests in the kitchen? How much space do you need for the preparation of food? Do you need an area of the family?” It is quite common for new homes to use a more open plan arrangement where the kitchen flows into the remaining areas in the house. Alternatively you may keep the kitchen completely separate.
Floor space is one of the most important considerations in the design. It is easy to have appliances that are too large for the space. One way to maximise space is too arrange all the cabinets along one wall.
The perfect layout for a sociable kitchen is an L shape with two additional large island units. These island units provide different zones, one for food preparation/cooking and the other for a bar and seating area. This design layout provides several important aspects to a sociable kitchen.
1. a safe, separate area for guests to be entertained away from the cooking and preparation areas.
2. Having the two separate islands removes the blockage of a long unit which stops you moving easily in the kitchen.
3. Combined kitchen and living areas.
It is easy to feel restricted by the units on off in store. Take the time to work with the inhouse kitchen design services to work out the best use of space.
