Many potential buyers and especially those with young families, consider the kitchen to be the heart of the home and for this reason, kitchens really do sell houses so focussing your efforts on this is a great option if you’re considering moving in the future.
The kitchen is probably the busiest and most used room in your home so it goes without saying that if it’s well organised, this can save you an abundance of time and hassle and make everyday living that bit easier.
Plan your kitchen storage for maximum efficiency and cleverly match it to your lifestyle.
With the move towards bigger, more open-plan kitchen areas, the island has become a key feature in kitchens of today. But a poorly designed island can actually cause more problems than it solves so it’s important to ask yourself, what you want it to act as from a practical point of view and more importantly, have you got sufficient space in your kitchen?
From the overall style to the more practical elements of kitchen design, layout and even appliances, one thing’s for sure, you’ll want your kitchen to be both functional and fabulous.
Kitchens come in all shapes and sizes. From the u-shaped kitchen, to the galley style kitchen, versatile kitchen design will allow you to achieve pretty much whatever you desire within the space that you have.
Small kitchens might be limited in space but with some clever storage, layout and lighting techniques they can be big on both style and efficiency.
One of the first things you’ll need to consider when planning your new kitchen is lighting as this will need to be factored in early at the installation stage. Adequate kitchen lighting is essential for preparation and cooking but if chosen correctly, lighting can also create a mood.
