Choosing a kitchen design
To some extent, kitchens design themselves with colours
and features enhancing the basic layout.
Positioning of sinks, cooktops and range hoods is best
determined at the time the house is designed. When
renovating a kitchen, there may be the option to work
with the existing drainage and wiring or to make changes,
which will likely add to the cost.
Repositioning or adding a new room for a larger or
lighter kitchen, or building in a pantry might also be an
option.
The kitchen is a place of activity so needs to be
functional and serviceable, to allow for family routine or
the needs of a keen cook. It may be the heart of the home
as a gathering point, blending into the living area. Less
popular today, are kitchens tucked away as a separate
room.
A pantry in the form of a scullery may be incorporated
for food preparation and dishwashing, with the kitchen
less of a workroom and more part of the living and
entertaining space.
Effective lighting is essential in any kitchen and
pantry. If there are windows, there will be natural
light during the daytime. LED lighting is best and now
the most common option for night time use and for
internal kitchens. Consider placement of lights whether
downlights or those hanging over an island to avoid
shadowing.
Sufficient bench space for food preparation is relative
A wood look is now popular in kitchens
to the degree of cooking likely to be undertaken. You may
want an island large enough for the family to sit around
or so the kitchen becomes more a gathering place than
preparation/food area. Areas to sit and work might also be
incorporated. Power points might be fitted so devices can
be charged.
Where an island sink, consider the distance to the
cooktop and refrigerator so there is efficient work flow.
Siting the dishwasher under the island and close to the
sink also makes sense. Another consideration is how
people will move in and around the kitchen. Two entry/
exit points are convenient and attractive though safety is
worth a thought.
The choice of appliances are dependent on a number
of factors. For example, cooktops need to be a certain
distance from the cabinetry, influencing choice and
number of cooking plates. A freestanding stove might be
to your liking though it may require a little more cleaning
than a fitted one.
Grey and monochromatic colours are popular for
kitchens, complemented by a wood look in some
cabinetry or the flooring. Glass and tile splash backs
are still in vogue while engineered stone benchtops
are favoured by many, as are soft closing drawers and
cupboards.
There are numerous innovative kitchen ideas available.
Determine your needs then if budget allows, add in a few
extra features you would like.
