Kitchen Design Ideas

Cooking has become a performance in a life round. People who like to cook and entertain are no longer hidden away in a hot isolated space. They want their guests to join in with the cooking and they want to have conversations with their guests while cooking the meals.

In a sense this mirrors the opening up of many restaurant kitchens so th patrons can see how the food is being prepared. In a sense the kitchen and living room/dining areas have been combined, allowing larger working areas with island benches adding versatility and better use of space. hopefully the ideas in this post will give you what you want in the kitchen design.

Kitchen-planning is merely an exacting game of logic no matter it is a small kitchen design, modular kitche, country kitchen or the modern kitchen designs.You are given four wall of predetermined size, a set of rules which are more than common sense, and a list of items which have to be set in the space between the four walls. There is always the best possible solution, and it is up to you to find it.

This is a serious post. It has to be. After all designing a kitchen is serious business. The most used (abused?) area, in my home, the kitchen planning in the past, was treated only as a functional space, with little or no importance given to its aesthetics. However, all that is changing. Today the emphasis is on creating a work space that balances practicality with personality. It has been said that ‘a well-planned, well-equipped kitchen is an asset to any home, and truly worthwhile investment, as it makes cooking a pleasure and household tasks less of a chore. Noting is closer to truth than this and nothing easier to achieve, provided it is done systematically, patiently and inovatively.
