However, the
choice of the kitchen style is only one of the features of the design of a
kitchen, a work that includes many steps and requires the help of specialized
professional people. Since a kitchen is composed of many household appliances,
when you design this space of your house there are many factors that you must
take into consideration, besides the aesthetic one. This is what you need to do
when you decide to buy a new kitchen, or to replace the old one. First of all, you
must consider the peculiarities of the room, i.e. its size and shape, then the
position of doors and windows and of sockets and waste pipes. Once you have
taken all these characteristics into consideration, you can decide the
composition of the furniture of your kitchen. In single line kitchens pieces of
furniture and home appliances are all lined up along one wall (the best
solution in case of small rooms or doors and windows taking up more walls),
while in two-way gallery kitchens the furniture takes up two parallel walls.
There are also L-shaped kitchens, on two contiguous walls of the room, U-shaped
kitchens, in which the furniture takes up three contiguous walls, and kitchens
with insula and pensinsula added.
Now you can
start designing your kitchen, to have it done by a carpenter or a mason, or to
go to a shop and find the model that best meets your desires. If you cannot
afford an interior designer, you can take pen and paper and try to draw a scale
model of your kitchen. In this way it will be much easier for you to have an
idea of what your kitchen will look like, and to buy the perfect kitchen for
your room. During this step it is also very important to highlight sockets and
waste pipes, to know exactly where to insert home appliances (it is advisable
to keep the oven, the fridge and the dishwasher at least 60-80 cm away from
each other).
Finally you can
deal with the choice of the style of your kitchen: on the market you can find
cheap and luxury kitchens, with classic or modern furniture, traditional or
futuristic. What is essential is to choose the style that best represents you,
and which is consistent with the rest of the house, paying also attention to
the materials that you want to use for tiles and panels.
It took a bit
time and effort, but now the design of your kitchen is over, and you only need
to wait for good professionals to build or install it, then you will be able to
enjoy this important space of your house!
