Here at Closets Unlimited, our expert advice and kitchen planning know-how will make it as simple as possible to achieve your perfect kitchen!

Perfecting your kitchen design is a big and exciting job. You get to make all mood boards, order all the paint samples, subscribe to all the magazines, all in the name of research, but there’s no denying that it can get a little stressful if you aren’t really sure what you are doing! Whatever your plans may be, we are here to help you when it comes to how to design your kitchen.

LIST THE ELEMENTS YOU WANT

Reviewing what you currently have in your existing kitchen versus what you need and want from your new kitchen design is key. Often, it’s best to do this yourself before you go to a kitchen planner or kitchen designer, using what works in your kitchen now – and changing what really doesn’t.

THE BEST LAYOUT

When considering different kitchen design and layout ideas, think about the following to gain a clearer picture:

How do you use a kitchen? The kitchen layout should be designed to perfectly fit your lifestyle.

Is it an open-plan space? Focus on the layout of the working part of the kitchen first, but also on its relationship with a dining table, if there is one, or – in an open plan kitchen-living-diner – the other zones.

Don’t forget the working triangle. To plan the preparation and cooking space, use the design concept of the working triangle of the kitchen. The three points are the fridge, sink and hob with imaginary lines between these forming the triangle shape.

KITCHEN FLOORPLAN

With your list done, you can begin to work up a floorplan. When you design a kitchen, it’s important to understand the space you’re working with.

THE RIGHT MATERIALS

Once you know the look you want, you can start selecting kitchen units, finishes and the likes. This will mostly come down to your budget, but we will say investing in the best quality kitchen you can afford will add value to your home. And, it goes without saying that the better quality materials you choose, the longer your kitchen may last.

THE COLOUR SCHEME

Colour is perhaps as important as the style of cupboards you choose as it will be the first thing anyone notices about your kitchen. The most popular color choice for a kitchen is white, closely followed by cream, off-white and pale grey, and this is a good option if you want your kitchen to be a backdrop for you to add your own color and personality in decor while retaining a classic kitchen design that won’t date, is easy to redecorate around in future, and which won’t put off future house-buyers.
