Creating A Designer Kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of any home and is where most of the family will gather

at the start and end of a busy day to discuss work, school and other daily news. Many people enjoy being able to sit around the kitchen table and chat with friends and family as well as entertain guests over dinner. As the kitchen is one of the busiest rooms in the house it is necessary to maximise space so your kitchen is efficient and yet also has an attractive appearance and ambience.

There are many kitchen designs available but the one you select should reflect your lifestyle and character. Contemporary kitchens are usually minimalist with many accessories built into the units as well as using the walls to maximise the available space. For a contemporary kitchen, colours are plentiful although stainless steel remains a favourite choice. Fitting a kitchen yourself is not difficult as long as you seek advice and purchase all the equipment you require before starting your project. Study kitchen designs to select the style of kitchen and the colours you like. Here at Wickes we have many contemporary kitchens in the latest styles and colours with practical materials all at low prices. We also have project idea leaflets which provide practical advice that you should read before commencing work. Our kitchen designs consultant is available to help you achieve your perfect kitchen.

Many modern kitchens also enjoy the benefit of an island that can provide extra storage space as well as an extra area to eat informal meals or even act as a worktop for food preparation. Breakfast bars are also an attractive way to gain extra storage space and worktop area if there is limited space. Contemporary kitchens use strong contrasts such as a completely white kitchen with colour highlights used in the flooring and the worktops or on the cupboard handles. Stainless steel, combined with a strong colour such as black or red, gives the illusion of space whilst being a hard wearing material that will keep its immaculate appearance for many years.

Employing the services of a design consultant can save you making any mistakes whilst in the planning stages as kitchen designs are reliant on more than just appearance. For instance, try to keep all appliances that use water together, such as your kitchen sink, washer and dishwasher so that all the pipe work is in one area. Your cooker should be close to the worktops where you will deal with your food preparation but not close to your fridge freezer. Flooring should be practical and hardwearing as well as attractive and easy to care for and is also another area where you can add a touch of colour. Accessories such as door handles and lighting are all details that you can later change to update your designer kitchen.

A designer kitchen can be installed at a low cost by purchasing from a reputable supplier such as ourselves who can deliver, provide advice and help with planning and design.
