The kitchen is one of the main rooms in any home. We spend many hours there and, depending on our needs and pace of life, we need different things. Renovating the kitchen is a significant investment, so before starting the work it is important to plan and study well what you want to do .
In this article we bring you the keys to designing a perfect kitchen. Let's get started!
1-ESTABLISH THE BUDGET
The budget is a key point in any task we undertake. You must think about the maximum price you are willing to pay and think about which elements you prefer to invest more in or what you can save on. We improvise as we do the work, thus avoiding surprises and deviations in the budget.
2-DEFINE WHAT WE NEED
Do you prefer luxury appliances, or do you prefer a custom-made counter made of cutting-edge materials, or perhaps you want a breakfast bar? You need to be clear about what is essential and what is not. Setting priorities is essential!
3-STUDY WHAT SPACE IS LIKE
It is important to study the space carefully. If we find any genuine factor, it should be emphasized and if there is any distorting element, it should be hidden, concealed or eliminated.
4-THE DISTRIBUTION
Designing a good layout to accommodate everything we want, so that the flow of movement within the kitchen and work tasks are as comfortable and efficient as possible. Studying the layout well is the differential factor between an ordinary kitchen and the kitchen of your dreams!
5-MATERIALS (FURNITURE, KITCHEN COUNTERTOP, HANDLES, COLOR...)
When choosing materials, it is crucial to think about their functionality. It is not just a question of aesthetics, which is also important, but first you have to think about the use and then you can look for aesthetic combinations that you like. For example, if you cook a lot, the countertops should be made of a more resistant material such as silestone or porcelain; if you cook little, you can choose a less functional and more delicate option such as wooden countertops or natural marble that stains with lemon.
6-HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
Appliances are an essential part of the kitchen. When choosing them, you should take into account the space you have available, your real needs and what you will use the most. Find out about their power and functionality before deciding. The kitchen requires a lot of energy, so it is also very important to take into account energy consumption when choosing appliances that can reduce consumption. Induction hobs, for example, save up to 30% compared to ceramic hobs. Find out well before deciding.
7-LIGHTING
Lighting is always essential in decoration and it would be no less so in a kitchen. Go for good lighting in each area that helps you work. You can also incorporate LED lines under the shelves or suspended cabinets that generally coincide with the counter.
