Start with making a list of the characteristics of all the kitchen essentials you want and need. Like the number of sinks, the type of cooktop, the material of the finishes, the model of the fridge, etc. Once this list is laid out, you can start planning your non-essentials around it.

Second, set out the variables of your kitchen like the size of your sink, the length of your overhang, the location of the microwave, or the texture of the slabs. For deciding on the meticulous details, you need proper information and education on the overwhelming options available in the market. Use every information source like magazines, social media, telecommunication, or design expert consultations for making a gauzed choice.

Finally, add fancier stuff like accent lights, built coffee maker, integrated appliances, etc according to your style. In the end, google the prices for the material and appliances, and make a rough budget plan on your own.

Pick up your list and move to the area where you intend to place your new kitchen. Now it’s time to use your Tetris skills and adjust the contents on your list in the real space, according to the standard kitchen spacing strategy. The electrical, gas and plumbing outlets should be accessible, your cabinets must be nearer to the cooktop area, the bin, sink, and dishwasher should be aligned, and the island should be perfectly spaced with the benchtop. Take professional help that comes with complimentary design consultations for digging out a solution to the problem called a limited space.

Analyze your past kitchen experiences and recall if you felt like the bench space was too cluttered, or the sink and cooktop were too close, or any available area wasn’t being used efficiently. Remember to note and rectify these shortcomings in your new design.

Sketch a rough draft for your designer to understand your needs and devise a perfect floor plan which will cater to your specific needs.

Walled kitchens often make you feel separated while working alone and restrictive with other people. You may consider smashing some walls and connecting your kitchen to other rooms for extra space. This might not seem radical at a glance but an open kitchen has significantly higher functional aesthetic privileges.

If taking down the complete wall is not an option then chew over the idea of partial wall removal. It’ll save the structural integrity and also increase workspace in the kitchen.

Do consult an engineer before commencing the renovation.

Even if you fabricate the most beautiful kitchen in the world, the project will not be deemed successful unless it is practical, efficient, and serves its purpose. The kitchen is a workspace primarily and the importance of its functioning overrides the looks. Keep in mind the following aspects while finalizing your design.

Plumbing, gas & electrics: Whether you are renovating or relocating your kitchen, check for the accessibility of hot water outlets, gas/plumbing supplies, and electrical boards. Relocating the outlets can prove to be a costly affair, so most people avoid it. But in the long run, it is a smart decision to take the hit at the time and not regret it later.

Bench space: Overhangs and bench spaces are helpful in entertaining guests and children while cooking your food. You won’t feel separated and supervise your small trouble-makers.

Cooking practicality: Wall ovens are more user-friendly and convenient but use up valuable bench space for other items. Bench ovens open up some space for reducing clutter but are relatively inconvenient. The choice depends on your cooking style and oven using frequency.

Rubbish & food waste: The sink, bin, and dishwasher should be aligned together abreast for completing the post-meal conduct at a single place. You can throw food in the bin, rinse and put the utensil in the dishwasher without moving.

Pantry/food storage: Pull-out drawers are recommended for light storage but do not function well if overloaded. Narrow drawers are good for heavy storage but have hard to reach backspaces. Custom cabinetry by your designer and joinery expert is the best way to tackle this trouble of space.

Microwaves: Microwaves are placed beside the oven. The wall microwave will go above the wall oven and the bench microwave will go beside the bench oven.

Fridges: Do you dream of a built-in fridge or a walk-in refrigerator? Or are you satisfied with your freestanding fridge inside the cabinetry? These are some important questions while choosing a fridge. Also if you are designing new cabinetry then choose a fridge model beforehand, as they vary in size and specs.

For making your kitchen your own, you need a design that speaks for you. It is time to spread the wings of your creativity and map out your dream kitchen.
