Are you planning on giving your kitchen a much needed and long overdue makeover? It’s likely you’ve got a good idea in mind of the design and style you’d like to have, but sometimes it helps to get some additional advice to ensure your kitchen ends up looking as perfect as it possibly can.

Stick to the Same Places

You might be envisioning a massive switch-around for your appliances, but this can create more work, and additional costs.

If you’re re-designing on a budget, keeping your new sinks and cooking appliances in the same place as the old ones saves the hassle of relocating all the electrical outlets and piping which are already in the kitchen.

Combine Functionality with Design

Large luxury cooking and refrigerating appliances can make for a great centrepiece within a kitchen. However, if this appliance is something you won’t use every day, or perhaps your kitchen can’t quite accommodate the space for it, you might want to opt for a smaller model.
 
Cutting down the costs on appliances with unnecessary features and size can allow you to spend more on what truly needs attention, such as high-quality flooring and cupboards.

Make Space for Storage

Ensuring enough storage is one of the most essential aspects of planning a kitchen. This room is host to a whole host of appliances, utensils, décor and foods – and often it can be hard to keep it looking uncluttered.
 
A minimalist kitchen design is guaranteed to look fantastic in a magazine, but once you start adding all the necessities such as pots, pans, condiment jars, bottles and everything else into the equation, it would soon lose its design appeal.
 
Of course, having plenty of storage space doesn’t have to mean that your kitchen will consist of cupboards and very little else. Crafty storage ideas such as magnetic spice racks on the backs of cupboards and pull out drawers in pantries can maximise storage without encroaching on your overall kitchen space.

Choose Flooring Which will Last

When choosing your flooring, you’ll also want to combine functionality with design. When it comes to spending money on flooring, it’s always best to invest in a material which will remain looking as good as new, even after all the unavoidable kitchen spills which occur over time.
 
Linoleum and vinyl flooring is a much cheaper option that other alternatives, but over time it can become discoloured and scratched.
 
Stone is a stylish yet traditional flooring material. It’s guaranteed to last within your kitchen for a very long time; however, without under-floor heating, it can be a very cold option for your feet!

Consider Modern and Convenient Features

If you find that you’re constantly boiling your kettle, opting for an instant hot water tap could make a huge difference. It also means that you’ll have one less appliance taking up space on your worktops!

For those who are always baking or cooking in the kitchen, a double oven fitted into the cabinets above ground level can be an attractive centrepiece, as well as making it much easier to observe and take out your food.
