The kitchen often ends up being the room where we spend the most time in our homes. Not only is it a space for cooking and preparing food, but it’s also a great room to socialise and relax in.
Kitchen design is one of the things that many homeowners often spend ages deciding over. Where do you even start with the design of a room that is known as the ‘heart of the home’?
Here are a few tips to help you get started on your quest to design the perfect kitchen.
Start by setting a budget
While setting a budget may not be the most fun part of kitchen design, it’s a really important step that many people tend to overlook. Set a clear budget so that you can know exactly how much you can afford to spend. Having a budget in mind will help steer your decisions on kitchen installations and fixtures.
Do online research on kitchen design
Pinterest is a great source of inspiration for kitchen design ideas. Start your own board and start pinning your favourite ides. Use this as a mood board for when you meet your architect or designer. It’ll quickly give them an accurate idea of the type of thing you’re looking for, and it’s a lot more helpful to have a visual example than trying to explain your vision.
Look for architects that specialise in kitchen design
Take your time to find a team of professional designers and architects that will work with you on your kitchen design project. Once you’ve narrowed down a list of suppliers in your area, check for online reviews. You may also want to look through their website to see visual examples of previous home projects that they’ve worked on.
Find out if you need planning permission
If your kitchen design includes the need for an extension, you may need to think about applying for planning permission. Find this out early in the process and get a few quotes from local reliable builders.
