The kitchen is the heart of the house, which makes the design all the more important. A full kitchen remodel is also an important investment, so it is important to plan carefully. But with a little research and expert help, your dream kitchen can become a reality.

Kitchen layout

When redesigning your kitchen from scratch or doing a major renovation, consider the layout of your kitchen and the planned use of the space. Open kitchens are great for entertaining, while eat-in kitchens are great for family meals. When planning the location of the appliances, make sure you can move easily between the sink, stove and refrigerator.

A popular rule of thumb is the working triangle. Imagine that your sink, refrigerator, and stove are points in a triangle. Ideally, the sum of the three sides is no greater than 30 m, so you never have to carry heavy or hot pans over long distances to another prep area.

Kitchen lighting

You should also make sure there is plenty of light. Pendant lights or a chandelier can provide general ambient light, but you may also want to install task lighting under cabinets and above the kitchen island. Recessed ceiling lights can be added for additional accent lighting.

Kitchen cabinet ideas

Furniture contributes to the overall look and functionality of the kitchen. There are a number of different options depending on your budget, from the simplest ready-to-assemble models to fully custom-made cabinets. Do not think that you have to stick to one furniture color. Mixing colors is a current trend in kitchen design. Try white wall units paired with base units in black, gray, or even a light color.

Another popular trend in kitchen design is open shelving, which gives the room a more airy feel and allows easy access to items. Open shelves are also great for displaying collections of porcelain or glassware.

Kitchen surfaces

Choose a countertop that suits your lifestyle. Each surface has advantages and disadvantages, but with a little research you can find your perfect match. Options include marble, granite, quartz, tile, wood, concrete, laminate, soapstone, copper, and recycled countertops. You should also choose finishes and materials that match the style of your kitchen. Wood gives country kitchens warmth, while quartz or Corian look elegant in modern rooms.

The kitchen backsplash is a great way to add color and personality to your design. Ceramic or glass tile can be used to create an eye-catching pattern, mosaic, or a solid color area that will become the focal point of the room. Stone, metal, and wood are also great backsplash ideas for the kitchen, especially if you want an industrial or rustic look.

Another important surface is the sink. Stainless steel sinks are durable, enamel sinks offer color options, solid surface sinks add a sleek look, and copper sinks look great with natural materials and develop a patina over time. You also need to decide on the style (apron or farmhouse, undercounter or drop-in) and choose a complementary kitchen faucet.

Storage and small kitchen ideas

There isn’t too much storage space in a kitchen. Always allow more than you think is necessary and don’t forget to include trash and recycling bins. A kitchen island is a great solution for storage and provides additional space for food prep or a dining area. Storage is especially important in small kitchens. Free up space for counters and drawers with a magnetic wall knife holder and hang pots and pans on a ceiling or a wall pot. Small kitchen designs can still be extremely functional – like a galley on a ship. Make sure the available space is being used efficiently, avoiding devices that are not used frequently or investing in smaller versions or multi-purpose tools.
