Great kitchen design starts with a plan. The kitchen is the focal point of your home. Whether you’re a gourmet cook, or just enjoy entertaining, your kitchen provides the lacing that ties your home together. It is a room for communication where people sit face to face and talk. A kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s the hub of day to day activity, that gives people a first and lasting impression of your house.
Although kitchens of the past may have had a single purpose, today’s kitchens are multifaceted. The kitchen of today becomes a gateway that flows gracefully into the other rooms of the home. An interior designer carefully considers a kitchen’s art and aesthetics with the convenience that is required for today’s current lifestyle.
Kitchen Size
A large kitchen can provide a host of benefits such as a variety of layouts, larger counters, and kitchen islands. However, a smaller kitchen can inspire an interior designer to create a special ambiance. Regardless of the size of your kitchen, creative lighting can transform the room to a desired effect. Lighting techniques can extend the space of your kitchen into other living areas, giving your home an elegant cohesiveness.
Replace or Reface cabinets
An experienced kitchen designer works with and team of trusted, skilled, reliable kitchen cabinet builders and kitchen cabinet refacers. It’s possible your kitchen cabinet frames and boxes are perfectly adequate to be refinished, rather than replaced. Let your kitchen designer examine your existing cabinets and discuss the options with her craftsmen. These kitchen craftsman are passionate in what they do and take tremendous pride in the quality of their work. A good team will abide by the kitchen designer’s demanding quality control expectations and deliver you perfect cabinets.
Kitchen cabinets vs. open shelf
Using open shelving in a kitchen design is a fine balance between functionality with an appealing design aesthetic. With exposed shelving you can showcase beautiful accessories and display unique wares.
Open shelves are terrific in today’s kitchen designs, yet you still have to be aware of your basic storage needs. Some kitchen items are best left behind closed cabinet doors. A balance of open shelf style and traditional cabinets is key to a gorgeous yet functional kitchen
Kitchen colors and surfaces
Do you want a country kitchen or a modern kitchen? Whether you prefer neutral color blends or more modern hues, the colors of a kitchen are it’s foundation. The myriad of color choices for a kitchen can be daunting. Different colors can work together, clash or compliment each other.
Backsplashes provide surface interest from flat to lustrous tiled effects. Kitchen color and surface choices are limitless and can be confusing. A knowledgeable interior decorator will guide you through the selection process and help you make the right choices.
Kitchen Appliances
As technology has advanced the role of the kitchen has evolved into a multipurpose room. Appliances range in price dramatically. From GE and Whirlpool to Viking, Bosch, Miele, Wolf, Sub-Zero, Gaggenau, Thermador, the choices can be paralyzing.
Regardless of kitchen appliance brand, these purchases are a major investment that you want to last for years to come. A kitchen designer with knowledge of appliance reliability and issues can help guide you through this dizzying process.
