Planning The Kitchen SpaceWhen we talk about a kitchen, there is no such a thing like a kitchen room is of the wrong form. There is only space with bad design. Even in case of the smallest kitchen room there is practically unlimited amount of opportunities for individual design, which uses all walls and corners in the most rational way. In case of large kitchens the basic attention is paid to artificial reduction of a distance between kitchen elements. Even the plan of a floor with many corners provides us a great variety of opportunities in creating a functional and attractive kitchen. So, an experienced and skilled designer can offer you different decisions even in case of very complicated kitchen rooms. But before he (or she) begins to create a design of your future kitchen, the designer asks you many questions. What do you prefer – a kitchen designed in the style the rest of your place is developed in or a kitchen with the contrast design? Is it possible to remove walls or doors in your place in order to increase your kitchen room, or to join it with your dining room? Where do you prefer to make accent - on your stone floor or on beams supporting a ceiling? What should be present at your kitchen? Whether the kitchen will be used as a dining room as well? How many people will cook simultaneously at your kitchen? What are your individual features? Are you a right-handed person or a left-handed one? Etc. And each of these questions is essentially important. For example, if the man who cooks most frequently is a right-handed person, a surface for food preparation should be located to the left of a bowl, and a refrigerator, in an ideal, should be to the right of a bowl. To feel comfortable we have to have an additional surface around the food preparation area and the bowl. A bowl is located frequently in opposite to a window; in this case there is no locker above the bowl. Even if you work on your project together with a skilled architect and an expert in kitchens, you have to see all possible variants of your future kitchen as soon as possible. It will help you to realize what you do want and what you do need; the time you will spend on designing will be used useful in a long-term prospect. And please note: a well-planned kitchen room can considerably increase the price of your house. |
