The kitchen is often overlooked in the sentimental value of its presence in a household. It holds memories, and warms both the heart and the food. Since you and your kitchen deserve the best, here are some tips and tricks followed by top interior companies on designing your dream kitchen.
Establish your style
The main thing to do when designing your kitchen is to keep an aesthetic in mind. Do you like sleek granite? Rustic wood? Or a more colorful approach? Pick your aesthetic and keep it in mind when designing your kitchen. Another main point is to blend functionality along with style. Style is important but it is not everything. A good kitchen looks good and works well. Choose a color palette that compliments the rest of your house. If your house has a particular style in mind, keep that in mind when designing your kitchen. Whether your kitchen is an open or closed one, blending and cohesiveness is important. Consider timeless designs that won’t go out of fashion. Add mixes of textures and finishes to add depth, such as a matte cabinet and glossy tiles. Tell a top interior company your style and help them bring it to life!
Maximize storage space
Cabinets are a good way to keep your kitchen de-cluttered and stylish at the same time. Install cabinetry up to the ceiling for more storage space. Use pull-out shelves, drawers and organizers for easier access and better organization for your supplies. Built-in pantry drawers are a good solution for another nook where you can hide away your supplies to have your kitchen look well-arranged. Vertical storage shelves and cabinets and floating shelves are great ways to keep your cookware safe and still have your kitchen look clean. The installation of kitchen islands is a great addition to your lovely kitchen. A kitchen island has many good uses, ranging from extra storage, prep space, a stylistic choice and also a great way to give your kitchen a modern touch. Top interior company knows the best ways to maximize storage space and keep your kitchen looking fresh as ever.
Plan for efficient work zones
You can create a ‘work triangle’, which essentially means a triangular accessible point between your stove, sink, and refrigerator. This triangular layout will be efficient and time saving. When you cook, it is highly convenient to have a prep, cooking and cleanup area nearby at all times. When you peel a vegetable, the peels can be disposed of immediately in a nearby cleanup area or a waste basket area kept in reach. Include your other countertops for different tasks. Make use of your kitchen areas and space to work efficiently and smart. Baking and cooking require their own separate area to work with, as they include a lot of prep work and the cooking is a whole other area of work. If you are interested in baking or any other recreational food activity, you should consider adding a baking oven or an area specifically for baking or any other activity you prefer.
Use durable materials
Granite and quartz countertops are a good investment in longevity for your countertops or cabinets. They do not get easily stained with fumes or smoke, and also give off a stylish look. Backsplash is a big concern in kitchen areas (liquid material used while cooking splashing onto the walls or counters). A trick to easier backsplash cleanup is to select easy-to-clean materials for your tiling’s, such as subway or glass tiles. They do not soak in any liquid and are easy to clean grease and oil off of. The floors of the kitchen are also susceptible to backsplashes or food falling onto them, which is why you could consider material that does not soak in liquids and does not stain, and that are durable and scratch-resistant like ceramic or hardwood floors which are easy to maintain as well. Ask your top interior company to suggest materials that fit your requirements. Choose long lasting appliances and do not compromise on the quality of your cabinets and hardware, as they are a long-term investment that needs to be made smartly.
Integrate smart technology
Smart appliances like fridges, ovens and dishwashers save a lot of time and are also convenient and super helpful. Touchless faucets help maintain a stylish look, convenience and hygiene all in one. Motion sensor lights help save electricity and also are highly convenient for users who are forgetful or trying to save electricity, as well as people who keep their hands busy while working in the kitchen and cannot reach the light switch. Include charging ports in your kitchen, it would be very useful for people who want to watch a recipe or any videos while in the kitchen, or people who need entertainment or people who need to both charge their phones and maintain work or personal phone calls at the same time. It also is a requirement for toasters, fridges or any other appliances that require a connection to an electric port.
