3 . Don ’ t forget about your waste – It might be boring consideration , but after you ’ ve designed your beautiful kitchen , you don ’ t want a freestanding bin ruining the clean look of your new room . Integrated bins that contain recycling sections can be conveniently concealed within a cupboard , ideally below your sink . This is a good way to ensure you maintain a clear floor space and keep recycling from building up on the worktop .
4 . Exciting electrics – The last thing you want to be doing is plugging in your juicer nowhere near your refrigerator , so take a moment to plan what small appliances you have and where you might want to use them . If you don ’ t want to ruin your tiled walls with sockets , why not consider a pop-up kitchen socket that can be concealed when not in use .
5 . Choose the best materials for your design – Once you know the look you want , you can start selecting kitchen units , worktops and finishes . A lot of this will come down to your budget , but if you ’ ve got a young family , you
might want to opt for something that ’ s easy to clean and doesn ’ t show up sticky fingerprints . For your worktops , wood looks warm but needs regular maintenance , whilst natural stone is hard-wearing and easy to look after .
