Making the Most of Your Kitchen Design
By: Julia Winters
When designing a kitchen, you should have two goals on mind:
firstly, you want to maximize your return on the investment,
and secondly, it is the room that many families spend the
most time in, and its design needs to reflect this.

So how can your kitchen designer make the most of your space,
but still create an aesthetically pleasing area? A good place to
start is by reducing the amount of unnecessary bits and pieces that
tend to accumulate over time. This can immediately create an apparent
feeling pf space, and creates a more pleasant working environment.
The second area to consider is the type of features you would
like to integrate onto your design. Contemporary kitchens often
incorporate areas such as breakfast bars, wine coolers, etc while
free standing tables would create a more traditional handmade kitchen
style.
A bespoke kitchen can overcome
many of the problems faced - for example, significant back
problems can be avoided by designing worktops at exactly the
correct height rather than working to standard height units.
In addition, you should consider your family circumstances
- if you are elderly, then provision should be made for any
heavy items to be stored low down to make them accessible,
and there should be easy movement between drawers and cabinets.

The lighting and decor can have a huge impact on the style created
in your kitchen, and how spacious it may feel. Even small kitchens
may appear significantly larger with the correct lighting. Homeowners
often choose to theme the colours in the kitchen, such as using
terracotta etc to create a Mediterranean feel, or you may wish to
have a neutral backdrop with particular areas highlighted in an
accented colour. This can work particularly well in creating a contemporary
kitchen style.
Whichever route is chosen, its important to consider how well
the wall colour will blend across the whole kitchen, including the
drawers, worktop, flooring and cabinets. When all things are considered,
you should be able to create a kitchen that delivers practicality
while still being a true reflection of your own unique personality
and lifestyle.
