4 Essential Elements of Good Kitchen Design



How would you describe a well-designed kitchen? Remodeling wish lists will differ from one homeowner to the next, but the bottom line is that we all want a space that looks beautiful and feels functional. With that in mind, these are the essential elements you’ll see in every good kitchen remodel.

Countertops

Whether you are an occasional cook or an avid baker, you want your work surfaces to be both strong and stylish. Since it ends up influencing how your kitchen looks and functions, you must make sure your choice of countertop complements the rest of the kitchen, withstands stains and scratches, and has a price tag that fits your budget.

Storage

One of the most integral components of a functional kitchen is storage. Without it, it becomes much more difficult to utilize the whole space to your advantage. The items you store in the kitchen, from spices to cooking utensils and dinnerware, will dictate the type of storage to incorporate into your kitchen design. Make sure your cabinets and drawers fit the size and layout of the space. If possible, choose space-saving options like pullouts and tall wall cabinets to achieve well-organized kitchen storage.

Lighting

Knowing where to locate your lighting fixtures is also something you want to consider when planning a kitchen remodel. Ambient lighting should provide enough light to illuminate the whole room. Task lighting adds depth and practicality to the space. It is located near cabinets and work surfaces. Complete the look with some accent lighting to emphasize the focal points of your kitchen.

Fixtures & Hardware

Focus on fixtures and hardware if you want to splurge a bit on your kitchen remodel. A modest base or wall cabinet can look more elegant with an ornate knob or handle. The same can be said for a basic sink when you equip it with a faucet that has a beautiful finish. Since they see frequent use every time you do work in the kitchen, be sure they are high-quality products that are durable and beautiful.
