Tips for Effective Kitchen Design

Your wants/needs

Is there something you really desire? Have you had your eye on an island or granite countertops? What do you need to make your kitchen more functional? You won’t use your kitchen if it doesn’t fit your needs, so make sure to consider all the important elements.

How you will use the kitchen

Are you a bachelor who rarely cooks? Are you a family of five who eats every meal at home? Perhaps you are a couple who entertains often. Every household is different, so think about how you use your kitchen and how you can make it more functional for your needs.

Location of appliances

In a kitchen, it’s all about location. You want your dishwasher next to your sink. You want your microwave at a reasonable height, but not too low or high. Think about where to put your oven and refrigerator as well. This should all be included in the kitchen remodel layout your interior designer will create.

Counter space requirements

If you do a lot of cooking, then you’ll want more counter space for meal prep. A kitchen island can be useful for adding more space and cabinets and drawers for storage.

Kitchen shape

There are several shape options for kitchens. U-shaped, L-shaped, and G-shaped designs are popular. You can also consider an island for your kitchen or even a galley style. The options can be confusing, but the interior designers at Complete Dezign can help you choose the right shape to fit your needs.
