When it comes to kitchens they can be the make or break of a fabulous home. Revamping your kitchen doesn’t have to be a hassle. In the long run it can help reduce stress from your life and enhance your homes natural beauty. With kitchen design there are some essential points to consider that can make that real difference to your home.
Choose the right cabinets
With cabinets, size is everything. If you can afford the room then bigger really is better. If you have high ceilings then choose tall cabinets that go to the ceiling. They look great by unbalancing the lines that can make a kitchen look harsh and can give a grand visual aspect to the room. They also allow vital space on other walls for hangings or electrical appliances.
Another important aspect is the style of the cabinet. Do you choose paint or stained wood, or perhaps even glass. Why not go for all three. There are no rules stating cabinets must all be the same. For instance use light wood stain on some fronts and dark on others. Or paint all the top draws brown and have the rest white. Use a glass cabinet as a feature to show off your best china.
The countertop
Select a stylish but appropriate countertop, one that works with the theme of your room. You can raise or lower the height of the counter in certain areas, particularly around an island or a cooker top. Just adding or lowering height by 4 to 6 inches can really make a difference to the look of the kitchen. Ensure ample work surfaces so as not to allow the design to look cluttered or too busy. |
