If you are changing the kitchen site and are unsure of spending on gas/plumbing relocation then we strongly advise you to look beyond the expenditure towards the benefits of relocation. It is not practical in the long run and hinders the desired layout of the kitchen.

“The kitchen work triangle” was a common applicable method in the past which stated the finest kitchens are made by arranging the sink, fridge, and cooktop perfectly, with ample space between them. But it is obsolete in modern times.

Nowadays the Dynamic Space Method given by the Blum International Company is a widely applicable kitchen workflow system. It focuses on more practical aspects of the new generation by making zones of activity that cater to everyday tasks. The kitchen essentials are kept in a fixed place to avoid confusion and bumping into each other.

The 5 primary work zones of the Dynamic Space System are as follows:p

• Cooking
• Consumable
• Non-consumables
• Preparation
• Cleaning

The five zones of activity are arranged in a clockwise fashion for a right-handed person and anti-clockwise for a left-handed person. Defining zones for various tasks also makes it easier for multiple people to fit in one kitchen without feeling squeezy and restricted.

Too much space between the island and the benchtop will make you exhausted soon out of extra steps while too little will restrict movements and inefficient workflow. A perfect distancing between the components of the kitchen and aligning together the dependent parts is what clearance and spacing are all about.

Once the kitchen is installed, you won’t be able to make any changes to the position of the components. That’s why the dynamic use of the space and distancing of the work zone should be given number one priority.

A kitchen or any other room for that matter has three different lightings for various purposes:

• Basic lighting
• Specific lighting at the zones of activity for better visuals and safe conduct
• Optional Accent lighting just for aesthetic appeal and alluring design features.

For the customers with cost-control plans, accent lighting is not a clever spend.

1. Island cooktop or an island sink

Island cooktops are more accepted by customers than island sinks, as they have a more aesthetic appeal. However, both aid in the freedom of movement and increase in the work area.

1. Wall or under bench oven?

Wall ovens are more user-friendly but use up valuable bench space. Bench ovens open up some space for other works but are relatively less convenient. The choice depends on your cooking style and how much you love using an oven.

1. Appliance integration

For a fancier look and a little more convenience, you may consider integrating your appliances. But it is a costly option and may have a drastic effect on your budget

To make the kitchen truly yours, you need to discover your style as it is crucial for comfortably enjoying cooking or eating your meals in the kitchen. It’s okay to be blank at first. Most of our customers come with just Instagram or google images of the kitchen they liked. They even go through frequent constructive sessions with our designers to figure out their style. We understand that everyone has a different taste and requirements, and we help you find yours.

Experimenting with the colors and creating contrasting effects which turn a boring look into a pleasing one is our specialty. Renovators and property investors are pervaded with a misconception that white finishes look classic and increase the resale value. But this is far from true. All-white looks timeless, but it’s also too common and boring now.

But you hate bright colors you say? I am here to tell you that colors and contrast are not the only two things that will make your kitchen interesting. What you are looking for is “Texture”. You can touch, feel and interact with texture and this is what is most fascinating about textures. Simple texture in the right dose can do wonders and turn a monotone look into a chic one.

Even if you end up producing the most elegant and efficient kitchen in Sydney, if it doesn’t go with the adjoining rooms or doesn’t match the house characteristics, the plan will be a major failure. Keep the specs of other rooms in mind and design a kitchen that complements the surroundings, rather than standing out in the whole house.
