Planning & Design
The following are a few points you may want to consider when thinking of purchasing or replacing your kitchen.
The Layout:
You should first consider the layout of your new kitchen. Consider the traffic flow in the kitchen, the location of the kitchen in your home, and the number of people in your home. You should also consider the following points:
- Connection requirements (electricity, water etc.)
- Dimensions and sill heights of windows
- Alternative storage space in the house
- Kitchen area (length, width, height of room)
You should bring a plan with you when meeting with your kitchen designer for the first time.
Specifics: It is a good idea to provide us with as much information about your household as possible. The following are helpful:
- How many people live at home?
- Your cooking, eating & shopping habits
- The function of your kitchen (i.e. entertainment, dining, or purely a working kitchen, etc.)
- Are your family very tall? (to determine the optimal workbench heights),
- Are there right-handed or left-handed people in the household?
- What types of items will be stored in your kitchen?
Features:
What are the features that you would like to have in your kitchen? They may be:
- Would you like soft-closing drawers with full extension runners?
- Would you like dishwasher space?
- Do you want you bench higher than the standard?
- What sort of handles would you like?
These are some ideas that you may need to think about when thinking about a new kitchen.
The Finish:
Decide which look you would like your kitchen to have.
There are many finishes that you can choose for your doors and drawers. The finish will determine whether the look will be modern, contempary, or classic. You could decide on Solid Timber, Timber Veneer, Vinyl wrap, Laminex or 2 pack finishes.
Decide on what type of benchtop you would like to have.
