Kitchen Design – a guide to the kitchen you’ve always wanted

Is your kitchen looking a bit outdated? Are you interested in learning about how to design a kitchen that will meet your unique needs and ‘wow’ guests? Have you brushed up on the latest kitchen designs popular among Toronto homeowners?

In this guide, we’ll help you explore the evolving landscape of kitchen design trends and uncover five easy tips to design the kitchen of your dreams.

A Perfect Melding of Beauty and Function Starts with Planning

Better Homes and Gardens advises that careful planning is essential in order to ensure the end result is a kitchen that is as beautiful as it is functional. Consider the following tips on making sure your kitchen is one you and your guests will love and enjoy for years to come.

The most important aspect of your kitchen is its ability to meet your needs and function optimally day to day. Although we all know to consider cooking and food preparation, that’s just the start. The kitchen is the heart of a home and the place where people gather, eat and hang out. Do you have kids who might need to work on homework at the dinner table? Do you host dinner parties and need additional room for people to stand?

Ask Yourself These Questions to Get a Head Start on Planning:

The right Kitchen design in Toronto will take into consideration the “Work Triangle” as a key center of its plan. This area represents the distance between the sink, stove and refrigerator. Optimizing this area is a surefire way to create an efficient workflow and will allow you to move with ease between “workstations”. Trust us when we say that an optimally designed work triangle will make life so much easier and efficient.

One of the most often cited complaints about kitchens is the lack of space to store necessary items and appliances. Smart storage solutions and innovative shelving can optimize space, ensuring you get the most out of every square inch.

Ideas:

There may be no other room in your home where lighting is as important as it is in the kitchen. But not just any lighting. The right type of lighting in style, design, positioning and more all matter.

A good designer will develop electrical layouts to accommodate optimal lighting that best highlights the style of your blueprints.

The Best Types of Kitchen Lighting to Consider Include:

Create a list of all the essential components, features, design elements, styles, colors, materials, appliances and more that you want/need in your kitchen.

Doing so will enable you to visualize the layout, determine what may or may not fit in the space, and effectively work within your budget.

Don’t forget to take into consideration the style and design of the rest of your home. You don’t want your kitchen to stand out as the “misfit”.

The kitchen is the heart and soul of your Toronto home. It is where you prep meals with love and care, entertain friends and family, and socialize with those you love.
