PLANNING YOUR DREAM KITCHEN
MAKE YOUR SPACE WORK FOR YOU
Kitchen planning should start with you and your family, and how you want to use your kitchen. This has a big impact on some of the planning decisions you'll make.
Things like whether you need to include a dining area for entertaining or a space that can double up as a home office or study? Is your kitchen open plan to other areas of the house? What will the view from other rooms look like? Do you need lots of worktop space for all your gadgets and utensils or do you prefer to have them all hidden away?
It’s a good idea to start by writing these points down to talk through with your kitchen designer so they can plan YOUR perfect kitchen
MAXIMIZE YOUR SPACE
Your kitchen has many different dimensions – not only width and length, but height and depth too, and you need to make the most of them all!
Whether you use tall units to give you storage right up to the ceiling, or corner units to get right in to the corners of your kitchen, there are a plethora of solutions to help you maximise every inch of space
FUNCTIONALITY AT ITS BEST
The path you will tread most frequently in your kitchen is between the cooking zone, the fridge (consumables area) and the sink (cleaning zone).
For the most efficiency in the kitchen, this journey needs to be optimised. Not too far, or you'll waste time and energy. And not too close, otherwise the kitchen will feel cramped. This is known as the working triangle.
