Designing the Heart of the Home
Your kitchen is a hub of activity, a place right in the heart of the home where meals are prepared, conversations flow and people come to gather at the end of their day.
As your kitchen plays an important role in your daily life, there are many considerations to make. We have put together our top 5 kitchen design tips to make the decision a little easier for you.
Functionality
Your layout should be well-considered with cooking in mind. The way the open opens, the fridge is placed and even the kitchen sink should create a workflow that is both enjoyable and practical for everyday use.
Custom Cabinetry
Tailor your cabinets to create a kitchen that is both accessible and practical. Think about using soft close drawers, open shelving, tall units and plenty of storage space. A custom kitchen is your opportunity to create something unique that suits you and your lifestyle with functionality at the forefront of your mind!
Strategic Lighting
Set the mood with thoughtfully placed lighting and illuminate your entire kitchen.
Downlights provide optimal light for cooking whilst pendant lights over the island bench will set a warm and inviting mood for conversation.
Natural light from windows is also essential in a kitchen and a well placed window (or two) will open up the space dramatically.
Create Harmony with Colour
By maintaining a cohesive colour palette across cabinets, countertops, backsplash, fixtures, and flooring, you will create a space that flows with a complementary appeal. You should opt for durable, quality materials which will withstand daily use to avoid unnecessary ageing of your kitchen over time.
The Personal Touch
Your new kitchen is yours to enjoy! So don’t be afraid to add personal touches that are meaningful, fun and most importantly: inspired by your personality.Go bold with a colourful splashback or be flexible with decorative bowls. The personal touch will add character to your home, ensuring a warm and welcoming kitchen to be enjoyed for many years to come.
