If your home had the heart and soul it would be your kitchen and bathroom without a shadow of doubt. Of course all roms are important, but is there anything better than preparing meals in beautiful kitchen?
And let’s not forget the best parties are being held nowhere else, but in the kitchen. Your kitchen should make you feel comfortable. Probably this is also the reason why it takes so much time to decide how our kitchen should look like.
We totally get it.
Just think of available designs, colours, tiles, cabinets, fronts, countertops, faucets and everything else. It’s easy to get confused and drive mad most gentlemen out there.
And that’s not even everything you need! How about lights, sockets and potential kitchen traffic? There is no one-size-fits-all.
That’s why we prepared an easy, step by step kitchen design guide and put it in form of an infographic to make it even more simple. Check it out!
1) Establish what you need. 2) Do a research. 3) Think of the #design you like. 4) Set a budget. 5) Plan your #appliances and space around them. 6) Think of the #kitchen traffic. 7) Add some extra sockets and #lights. #kitchenDesign
Above we have went through 7 most important steps to kitchen design. Now, when you go further down this path there you have to start planning your kitchen.
And we feel there are also few more important factors to consider during this process.
We have touched it a bit in our 7-steps guide when we discussed appliances, traffic and lights. Speaking of appliances it’s worth to put a little bit extra effort (or money) and make them look built-in.
The entire kitchen looks much cleaner and nice, especially in modern designs. If you have more old-school or retro design it probably makes more sense to let them shine.

Another thing we touched and is worth to remember is trying to visualise your kitchen traffic. It might sound funny, but it’s true and strictly related with giving your appliances enough space.
Try to think how you will move around your kitchen and where it makes more sense to put certain things. For example trash bin, sink, fridge, oven and so on.
The most important is what people tend to call working triangle – cooker, sink and refrigerator.
Plus, let’s not forget finishing touches do count. So even if you have very tight budget you can make your kitchen look much nicer thanks to small details.
If you have a small budget you probably will try to avoid any major changes, but heating and plumbing is pretty important factor. Rather often piping is not very efficient, so it might be necessary to do some extra work.
Luckily if done right it shouldn’t cost too much. Last, but not least is choosing the right crew.
Of course you can try to do it yourself and we have even prepared few blog posts that you might find helpful. However, you have to remember it’s pretty big project.
Hiring professionals can really save your time and money. Pick someone who can show you their previous projects, but before decide what you find most important, cause you simply can’t have it all:
Luckily we live in twenty first century and we count on help from (not so anymore) new technologies. For example even Homebase Kitchen Planner available here.
