Within the contemporary home, kitchens always seem to be the heart and soul.
During quarantine, home-cooking has taken the world by storm. Whether it be Dalgona coffee, sourdough starters or microwave meals, we often find ourselves within our kitchens. Because of this, deliberate and considerate planning is essential to a modern kitchen. Not only does it need to be beautiful and stylistic, it needs to be functional and durable. Here are our top 5 tips for the design of your kitchen.
1. Determine the purpose of your island. When it comes to the design of your island, you need to consider it’s functionality. For example, if you plan on using it as a dining space, ensure that any cooktops are a safe distance away.
2. Keep in mind the heights of your appliances. Take a microwave for example. Need a microwave for your new dream home so your kids can heat up their hot-pockets? Consider a below-countertop microwave.
3. Outlets. Outlets. Outlets. Always ensure you have enough outlets in your kitchen, you never know when you might need to whip out the toaster, the sandwich press and the electric mixer all at once!.
4. Variety. There is no need to stick with the traditional cabinets and carpentry. Feel free to look into glass designs and open displays.
5. Colour palettes. Colours can make all the difference to a kitchen. Dark colours may make a large space feel more confined and close. Lighter ones can expand them, such that they feel wide and spacious.
