The kitchen is often called the heart of the home, and when you are redesigning or renovating a kitchen, there are a number of things to consider. If you approach the space with fresh eyes and no preconceptions, you can completely change the look, feel and flow of your kitchen space and give your whole home a new lease of life from making some changes to the kitchen.
Here we are going to look at three things everyone should consider when they are redesigning their kitchen space.
Think About the Flow of Food – The Plates Going Out and Coming Back Again
If you are planning a kitchen redesign, you can save yourself a lot of problems by taking some time to think about how food will flow through your kitchen and where food will be prepared and plates will be washed.
If you are having a dinner party or family gathering, it can be quite awkward to get the next course out of the kitchen while plates are still coming back from the last one. Make sure you have defined spaces for food preparation and service and for washing up and storing dirty plates and cutlery.
Why One Big Fridge? Save Space by Splitting Up Food and Drink
Fridges often take up a lot of space in a kitchen, and their placement and size may start to define where other cupboards and counters are placed.
If you split up your fridge space into smaller appliances, you can save a lot of room in your kitchen and make it a more efficient space to work in. You can use undercounter fridges to save space, and have separate fridges for different foods and drinks.
Having an undercounter wine cooler is a popular addition, and if you are a wine fan, you should get one of these for your kitchen. The designs available make for a modern addition to any kitchen and provides the perfect place to store your favourite wines.
Find Extra Space Above a Kitchen Island – Hang a Rack from the Ceiling
Having a large hanging rack above a kitchen island is a great way to get some extra storage space in the kitchen as well as offering something decorative and eye-catching. A large rack can be used to store anything from pots and pans to fresh herbs and spices, and are often a very attractive and stylish addition to any kitchen, whether it is an ultra-modern or traditional space. Many of us take up valuable cupboard and drawer space with storing pots and pans, and usually they are so disorganised we can never find the matching lid! A hanging rack is the perfect solution that will keep your kitchen organised and free up cupboard space.
Redesigning and renovating a kitchen can be disruptive to a home, but the end result is always worth the upheaval. A new kitchen with a sleek and modern feel and all the latest conveniences and features can make the whole home feel like a new space.
