Two Key Areas To Think About When Designing A New Kitchen

By Ricardo Dealing


When designing a new kitchen, for some people the key area they wish to maximise is the kitchen storage. For individuals who like a clean, sleek feel to their kitchen, ample storage is an absolute must. It is incredibly rewarding to be able to see clear worktops in a kitchen, with all the non-essential items tucked away tidily into a cupboard or drawer.

So as to make the very best use of space in the corner of a kitchen, a carousel storage system offers an ideal solution. This sort of system can utilise rotating shelves, which means you will no longer have the need to scrabble around at the back of the cupboard on your hands and knees looking for something, instead the item will be easy to access.

Another excellent kitchen storage option could be a pull out larder unit. These are ideal for storing both food and bottles in a tall kitchen unit and if it's fitted centrally, items can be accessed easily and quickly from either side. Cutlery inserts are another must have for kitchens to help you to arrange your kitchen utensils effectively. Most inserts are constructed from either plastic or wood, so are long lasting and low maintenance.

Kitchen lights are another feature that are essential for all kitchens. The 3 main forms of lighting for a kitchen are; task, ambient and feature lights. As your kitchen is essentially a practical room, it is very important have suitable lighting to be able to complete specific tasks, predominantly cooking meals. However it is also beneficial to provide suitable lighting to create a lovely ambience, as well as having a feature light as a focus for the kitchen. Getting the balance of all three types of lighting is important.

Kitchen lights are available to accommodate a large range of budgets and can be as elaborate or as simple as you wish. Classic wall lights, glamorous spotlights and chic designer lights can all make a real difference to the feel of your kitchen after the natural day light has gone for the day. Under cabinet lights are often very helpful for providing additional light while preparing the evening meal and trendy multi-coloured LED lights can provide an extremely modern and contemporary feel.
