It ’ s time to renovate your kitchen but where to start ? Experts Kitchens International have a list of handy tips and advice on where to start and how to ensure your kitchen is perfect for you .
Most importantly don ’ t rush the planning and design phase . Every extra hour spent getting all the details right will ensure a smooth and successful refurbishment . Here ’ s some useful tips on kitchen design and planning :
1 . DESIGN BRIEF
- Although it ’ s easy to rush into choosing cabinetry and appliances the most important part of the process is the design brief . The kitchen designer will get to know all your needs and wishes and how you , and your family , plan to use the space . Research through websites , Pinterest , magazines etc and come armed with what style you like .
Although ideally this is done in the home , it can now also be done just as effectively online . This is not about the detail but about the bigger picture , because without the canvas onto which the design can be placed , that the kitchen won ’ t work as a room .
Louisa Forsyth , Showroom Manager at KI said : “ Kitchen functionality and look is key . Are you a keen cook or more of a convenience person ? As no two clients are the same , nor are any two kitchens , so for a personal , perfect kitchen you can ’ t buy one off the peg . The more thorough the design process , the better the end result .”
