Love the taste of gourmet food prepared in a professional kitchen? Bring the experience home with a high-end kitchen of your own. With the right kitchen design and appliances, you’ll have the right space and tools you need to create wonderful meals for yourself, your friends, and your family. There are a few specific factors you should consider when designing your dream kitchen.
Assess Your Space
Whether you’re planning an extra addition, room expansion, or working in the same kitchen space you have, understanding the space your kitchen will take up is an important first step. The amount of room you have to work with will help to determine your kitchen design priorities—the type and size of appliances, placement of cabinets, whether to include an island or breakfast bar, etc.
Choose a Counter Configuration
Perhaps more important than your appliances is the amount of workspace your kitchen has. Having enough counter space that you can comfortably and safely work is a priority. Your kitchen design should take into account your need for adequate prep room and counter storage. Also consider what kinds of countertops work best for you and your budget.
Creating Storage Space
Professional kitchens utilize storage space as efficiently as possible. Not only will adequate storage help to keep your cupboards and drawers nice and neat, but they’ll also keep items from cluttering your countertops and workspaces. Your kitchen design team can help you create the ideal cabinet and storage setup to keep your kitchen looking neat and orderly at all times.
Kitchen Uses
Finally, think about all the different functions your kitchen will serve. Most kitchens serve as multi-purpose rooms for entertaining guests, doing homework, or as a central meeting place in the home. Your family’s use of the kitchen should be reflected in the design you proceed with.
