A properly designed kitchen can be beautiful and welcoming while also functional. Achieving a balance of color, texture, and lighting will make the heart of your home a refuge for relaxing!
A few design ideas:
-For adding some color into the space, maintain subtlety by choosing a focal point, like the counters or cabinets, for the primary dose of color. Stick to one main hue, then add small doses of complementary color via the backsplash or kitchen accessories.
-When designing the layout, the pathways through a kitchen should be at least 36 inches wide; paths within the cooking zone should be 42 inches wide for a one-cook kitchen and 48 inches for a two-cook configuration. Adjust kitchen islands and peninsulas accordingly, giving yourself adequate space to move about easily.
-Kitchen lighting is often sidelined as a secondary detail, but it should be a top design consideration. The intensity and style of your fixtures will heavily influence the atmosphere of your space. Consider multiple lighting options that can be adjusted. Brighter lights for cooking and soft lighting for hosting.
