When it is time to design your dream kitchen there are so many decisions that need to be made. We need to consider everything from layout, functionality and aesthetics and this can feel very overwhelming without some expert guidance.

Inspirational images can give your kitchen designer a good base for the style and look of the space that you want to create, however everybody has their own unique way of functioning in their space and this should also be a consideration when making choices.

Kitchen designers have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the functionality of your kitchen. It is their job to highlight areas of your design that may make the use of the space more cumbersome and/or problematic long term. We have all watched design shows where the oven is not in the right place for the transfer of hot dishes to a bench or the dishwasher is too far from where the crockery and cutlery are stored. These are great examples of how a little planning and knowledge can ensure that you don’t have long-term design flaws.

Take your time to note how you are utilising your current space and what you like or dislike about the form and function. Talk to our designers about maximising the space you have so that it can encompass all of the most practical and time saving features that you may not even know are available.
