Building your perfect kitchen not only requires a reliable manufacturer and supplier, but a good design. The top ten kitchen design tips shown below will help you steer clear of the common design mistakes people make, and enable you to utilise some little-known design gems.
1. Have a Plan
Having a plan in your head is the most important way to get what you want out of any kitchen project. Without a clear plan and in mind, you will never be able to achieve what you want.
2. Remodel
Re-modelling your kitchen can be a great alternative to tearing apart your existing kitchen and starting again, especially if you are on a budget. Replacing kitchen doors can give your kitchen an entirely different look and feel.
3. Hire a Professional
Although you can save money by doing the design and labour yourself, consulting a kitchen designer and hiring someone to build your fitted kitchen, can save you a lot of stress.
4. Consider Size and Shape
Always bear the proportions of your kitchen in mind before picking your features to avoid size related design issues. Clever choice of kitchen units and kitchen cabinets will complement the form of your kitchen and ensure good use of space.
5. Utility Room
If space is an issue in your kitchen, consider placing bulky units in a separate utility room.
6. De-clutter
Removal of clutter before planning your kitchen will make your life a lot easier during renovation.
7. Smart Storage

8. Built In Appliances
Integrating small appliances within units can be a great way to maximise available space.
9. Floor Design
The design of your kitchen’s floor can make the difference in terms of space. Some clever tile patterns can create the illusion of a larger kitchen.
10. Lighting
Lighting, though often overlooked, is a key feature of your kitchen, so make sure to bear it in mind when planning.
