The first thing you need to remember about your kitchen is that whatever else you might do there – dining, watching TV – it is essentially a place where you cook. Thus, you need to choose a kitchen layout that will prioritize workflow. The simplest layout is the classic triangle, in which the stove and sink are at the two legs of the triangle and the refrigerator is at its apex. This layout ensures that the distance between the various services is not too far, making it easier for the cook to work. Lighting is also an important part of kitchen design ideas. The wrong lighting can make your kitchen look too utilitarian or too shadowy and unwelcoming. The best kitchen lighting finds a balance between practicality and style, provides enough light for the cook to see what they are doing while creating an atmosphere that makes people feel at home. And don’t forget to add some decorative lighting fixtures to make the kitchen look more attractive.
Counters and cabinets are an essential part of any kitchen, so you should give a lot of thought to the kind that you want. For instance, should you get custom-made cabinetry or stock cabinets? Even if you get stock cabinets, remember that you can still change their look by repainting or staining them, and by changing their hardware. Also, what kind of countertop should you get? You want functional ones that will resist stains and scratches, while at the same time being attractive. And don’t neglect the flooring, since the wrong flooring material may pose an accident hazard.
The colors that you choose for your kitchen design also have an impact on the outcome of your kitchen remodel. Choosing the right kitchen color schemes will make this so much easier. Spend some time researching colors and make the best color decision for your design.
