Collect Some Ideas & Get Inspired


The first vital step is to start collecting some kitchen design ideas that you can begin to put together. This is the stage where you are able to just openly brainstorm and hopefully get inspired about the whole project, and there are many sources of inspiration that you might want to look to - including magazines, other kitchens, a By Design kitchen showroom and more. Just allow yourself to explore your desires for a kitchen openly so that you can end up with the perfect kitchen for your own needs in your particular home.

Work Out Your Floor Plan

This is where the designing really begins, and it’s actually one of the most enjoyable parts of the whole experience too. You need to hone in on your floor plan and see what the layout of the room will actually be and where everything is going to be situated in it. This is obviously a really important thing that you have to pay attention to, so it’s certainly important to make sure that you are spending the necessary time and effort on getting it right. As long as you do that, the final result is much more likely to be truly successful.

Think About Storage

Storage is a really important part of any kitchen, and the better it is the better the kitchen is going to be to spend time in. However, this is often quite tricky to get right, and you'll need to think about some of the unique solutions that can be important for your needs. For instance, if you know that you tend to like a lot of dried goods to cook with, you might want to consider a walk-in larder or something of the sort that is similar. With good storage, your kitchen will be more enjoyable and functional.

Appliance Placement

Although it might be quite a dry thing to consider, it is hugely important that you get the placement of your appliances right, because this is something which can affect the experience of being in the kitchen quite a lot more than you might think. You might also have to think about where the plumbing and electrics are in your home already, because that will help to make this a lot easier and simpler. If you can get this right, it’s going to help make your kitchen a lot more effective.
