With the housing market showing a rise for the first time in months people may once again be thinking shall i sell my house or improve it. With many still unsure how the market is going to go I thought I would look at the centre piece or heart to any home the Kitchen. Whether you have a fitted kitchen a bespoke handmade kitchen or an individually selected array of kitchen units, the area needs to work for you.
It may appear like little things but anything that you feel doesn’t work for you should be jotted down and put aside ready for when you really do begin kitchen planning. A kitchen when set out correctly makes working within it a real pleasure instead of having the usual conflicts of not being able to lean somewhere without being in the way. By making sure that a kitchen has spaces within it that people can relax in and at the same time refining the work spaces to work more intuitively can make all the difference to this most central of places.
Fitted kitchens should only be purchased if you know that the person selling you that specific style of kitchen knows how a kitchen should work and that some things will work and other things wont. From the cooker itself there should be a very defined working triangle that gives you space to prepare food, an area to cook the food and a space to wash and get rid of the scraps and preparation cast off’s. Any job that you do is simpler if you have the right tools to do it with, in this way you can ensure that any tasks you do in the kitchen can either be quick ones or just long extended enjoyable experiences.
Personally with most fitted kitchens I have done any cooking in the main lack I have found with them is that they are frequently really difficult to negotiate around. Making it very difficult to work fluidly and in some instances safely, we have a little lad and you need a space to be safe so that any children aren’t tripped over or stood on or worse have something spilt on them. Design can always make sure that things like this don’t happen with the addition of separate areas you can make sure you have a space that can be purely for eating and an area you can separate off with a simple gate to make sure you can work safely.
