How do I know which layout will best suit my space?
The final layout chosen will depend on the size of your family, the size of the kitchen, how the kitchen relates to the adjoining rooms, how you live, how you cook and what other functions you require of the kitchen space. There”™s a real risk of “over designing” the space by trying to cram in as much storage as possible but a qualified kitchen designer will always be able to find the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality.
What colours should I choose for my kitchen to make sure it doesn”™t date?
The colour scheme of any personal space should reflect your own tastes as well as suit the look and feel of your home. It”™s important not to focus too much on what is currently “trendy” but look at where you can add splashes of personality, colour or panache to make the kitchen your own. Look for one area of the kitchen in which you can inject a sense of style ”“ maybe it”™s a feature splashback, or a waterfall edge to your island bench. Your kitchen designer will listen to all your ideas ”“ both what you love and what you don”™t ”“ and incorporate them into a design that ticks all the boxes.
