Designing a Stylish Kitchen
The kitchen is one of the most often used rooms in the house, so it demands a design that is both inviting and practical for the home chef. Kitchen appliances, faucets, sinks, and even hardware all work together to create a stylish and practical space for preparing and serving delectable meals to friends and family.
Make a Design Plan
Every kitchen should be set up in such a way that the flow and transition from the refrigerator to the range to the sink to the dishwasher is seamless. The sink and dishwasher should be placed side by side in a triangle layout to enhance efficiency in the kitchen. Take accurate measurements of the kitchen area and think about how much storage you'll need. Make a detailed blueprint with bottom cabinets, upper cabinets, appliances, and possibly a kitchen island. Measuring and preparing ahead of time will assist ensure that everything falls into place and will save you time and frustration later.
Cabinets and hardware should be installed
The installation of cabinetry is the initial stage in any kitchen design. The finish of the cabinets and the hardware used will help to establish an overall look for the area because they are the largest furnishings in the room. Long, linear cabinet pulls and a high-gloss finish keeps things clean and modern or opts for oil-rubbed bronze hardware and more rustic cabinets for a more casual, industrial feel.
Adding a Kitchen Backsplash and a Countertop
A durable countertop and a coordinated kitchen tile backsplash are essential for a functional kitchen. Popular countertop materials include granite, quartz, and Corian, to name a few. Glass, metal, and tile backsplashes are easy to clean and provide a way to add a dash of color to the kitchen.
Selecting a Sink and Faucet
Installing the appropriate kitchen sink might make dishwashing seem less of a job. There are a variety of sink styles to choose from, including:
- Drop-In Sinks
- Undermount Sinks
- Farmhouse Sinks
- Single-Bowl Sinks
- Double-Bowl Sinks
- Cast-Iron Sinks
- Stainless Steel Sinks
Of course, no sink would be complete without a matching kitchen faucet and drain set. Choose a sink and faucet set that already has the various components matched and ready to install for even greater simplicity. Kitchen faucets come in a variety of styles, including:
- Pull-Down Faucets
- Pull-Out Faucets
- Touch/Touchless Faucets
- Bridge Faucets
- Single-Handle Faucets
- Double-Handle Faucets
Consider adding a bar or prep sink to the kitchen island to increase the space's functionality. Other useful improvements include a pot filler and a hot and cold-water dispenser.
