Which kitchen layout is best?
Comments (5)I said 'other' because regardless of what I like the best, it's all down to the specific space you're dealing with. I love the galley kitchen in the first image because it's designed perfectly for the space - but I wouldn't want a galley kitchen myself, unless I have a property similar to the one in the photo. Same with islands - great if you have the space and sometimes they work with a single wall, L-Shape or U-Shape, but don't shoehorn one in if it just won't fit. The room, the space, the outlook and how you use it will best determine what's the best type of kitchen in that particular circumstance....See MoreWhat do kitchen showrooms do with their ex display kitchens ?

Comments (6)If you work with upcyling what you have - sometimes - you may be disappointed - because it might not change that much ... but you will save on product costs . We have done designs for a couple of people who were splitting the cost by first buying Ikea carcase and worktops and then, later, buying superfront, Ikea or plykea doors at a later stage when their budget allowed . This is a good option as the Ikea drawers are complete without a door front. And you can use the kitchen while you save for the final touches . Might be worth considering too. I’d certainly echo the earlier comment that good design is a big part of the process too.

Comments (0)Design trends may come and go, but one aesthetic that seems like it's here to stay is a light and bright room. That's because this broad category is similar to a design philosophy or mood rather than a design in itself. You can have a light and bright room with virtually any interior style. This aesthetic is so pleasing because it creates a feeling of openness indoors, according to Brana Designs. Rooms appear larger, and there is a connection with the outdoors. Visit here for more beautiful kitchen design. Many people focus on this style in their living room where they want a wide open space in order to entertain. But it doesn't have to stop there. You can allow the openness to flow right into the kitchen. And one of the best things about this style is that major renovations aren't necessary. Knocking down a wall isn't the first option to make the space appear larger. By using some savvy design tricks, you can give the appearance of a large, airy, and open space. Choosing light colors is the easiest way to bring an airy aesthetic into your home. One of the biggest surfaces in your kitchen is the countertops, so choosing one that's a light color will go far in making the room brighter. All-white kitchens are a very popular design, but if a monochrome look isn't your style, opt for white counters over anything else. The stone can still have some variation to add some depth to the surface. When it comes to choosing the exact color or material, keep the other colors in the room in mind, says Plank and Pillow. Even if you choose a simple white countertop, this detail should complement other design elements in the kitchen. Gray veining on a white countertop, for example, can pair well with cooler tones throughout the room. However, if the veining is brown or tan, warmer tones in the kitchen may pair better. Interior designers will stress how important lighting is for a design. It's often overlooked as a functional element rather than an aesthetic one. Lighting is both and should be considered as such when designing the space. But it's not as simple as placing a fixture and calling it a day. In order to get the most out of your lighting, you have to know how to layer it. There are three kinds of lighting every room should have: ambient, task, and accent, says Degnan Design Build Remodel. Using a combination of the three ensures you have a balanced lighting design. Ambient lighting illuminates the whole kitchen and can come from natural light or overhead lighting like chandeliers or flush mount fixtures. Task lighting provides illumination in specific areas where you may need more light to focus on an action. In the kitchen, this could be lighting under the cabinets or pendants over an island. Accent lighting highlights aesthetic or architectural details by using wall sconces or picture lights. Using a combination of these three lighting techniques won't only make your kitchen look professionally designed but will also help brighten it up. Similar to artificial light, your kitchen should be bathed in natural light if you want a light and bright aesthetic. One of the easiest ways to do this is by adding more or larger windows, says Eco Line Windows. Choose windows with minimal framework to allow the most light to come through. Floor-to-ceiling windows or picture windows will make your space appear larger. Bow and bay windows can bring in more light because they protrude from the side house. If possible, you can also add skylights for the sun to shine in. It's also essential not to block any of the natural light coming through, no matter how large your windows are. Consider sheer curtains for window treatments so light filters through, but you still have some privacy. Also, be thoughtful of items you place in front of or near windows. Large furniture can block the light from filling the space....See Moresarh123
