 Kitchen
Design Layout
In any kitchen design the sink, preparation area and hob should never be too far
apart and the fridge should be near the entrance. This all will effect where
you put your basic equipment (fridge, hob, microwave and sink) and where
the service points for water, electricity and gas will be. Keep the existing
service points in mind in the kitchen design as rewiring and re-plumbing will take
a lot of time and money. When you do a kitchen design try to place the sink, preparation
area and hob first. Then draw 3 lines to connect the three areas. This will
usually result in a triangular kitchen design. The smaller the triangle, the shorter
the walking distance will be between the three main working areas. If this
walking distance looks too big, try to put the three areas closer together.
Another important point of consideration is that sinks will often be placed
against an outside wall under the window. This will make the plumbing easier,
but also gives daylight where you need it most.
Choose kitchen cabinets you want to look at for quite a number of years. Durability
and low maintenance have to be the key to your choice of units. Use
different materials for the units to break the monotony. If you choose
to use stainless steel for any of your surfaces (worktop, cabinets
or backsplash), make sure you combine it with a warmer material. Beware
of a clinical look. Just as for your cabinets, combine different worktop
materials to break monotony. If you've got a small kitchen design, keep the
details simple and uncluttered, as this will make your room look bigger.
Make sure paint and wallpaper are made for kitchens, as they have
to be resistant against grease and heat. Fresh and bright colours
lighten up your room. This is especially helpful when your room lacks
natural daylight. Install track light above your worktop, so that
you'll always have enough light to work with in your kitchen design. |
