As the kitchen seems to be the hub of any home, it is often the first room that most homeowners wish to update. Whether it is buying new appliances or doing a complete remodeling job, there are many options for making your kitchen more functional and attractive. With the help of an interior designer, you could create the perfect kitchen.
Design Elements to Consider
When redesigning your kitchen, you need to take several elements into consideration. These elements go beyond picking out paint colors, wood tones and appliances, which are personal preferences. These elements are essential to any of kitchen interior design in Montreal no matter the size of your kitchen.
Budget Considerations
Remodeling a kitchen can get very expensive, especially if you plan to tire out walls to increase the size of the space. Before you hire an interior designer, you should decide on the budget for the project. Figure out what you can afford to spend to improve your kitchen and determine your maximum budget. Pre-select some of the things you want to change in your kitchen, such as flooring, countertops, and cabinets in order to prevent going over your budget.
The Kitchen Layout
It is recommended that any kitchen interior design is based on a triangle design. The triangle is the pattern that should be formed between your sink, stove, and refrigerator. This allows for efficiency in movement as you gather food from your refrigerator, prepare it for cooking and put dishes in the sink as you get use them.
This pattern should also allow for plenty of counter space between these elements, so you have plenty of room to work when preparing a meal. In addition, this layout also recommends that there is 12 to 23 feet between your appliances, so everything is within easy reach, but not too close together.
Don’t Forget Storage
One of the most common complaints before remodeling a kitchen is the lack of storage space. When the kitchen interior design is being planned, discuss the storage options with the designer. Adding a pantry to your kitchen’s design could be a good option for food storage and including pullout drawers or wire baskets to your cabinets can help you organize the pots and pans you are storing in the kitchen.
Without adequate storage space, your kitchen counters can get cluttered with small appliances, spice jars, and storage containers very quickly. To keep your kitchen tidy, make sure you get the storage space you need to put away items when not in use. Being able to put items away will also help prevent pest problems too.
By paying attention to these elements, you and your interior designer can create the functional kitchen you’ve always dreamt of owning.
