More than half of the people inspecting a dream home feel that the kitchen is the most vital area in the house. A warm kitchen thoroughly contributes to the pleasantness of a home. Here are the top 10 points to consider for a kitchen design.
1. The way it plays with light
It is significant for a kitchen to be blessed with natural light. To this effect, a kitchen must remove any window cabinet that hinders sunlight. Also, it may be a smart idea to use reflective materials for ricocheting light.
2. Amenities of comfort
A feel-good kitchen must have a relaxing cushion (not a lounge by a long margin), a television, and a fireplace mantel (if budget is not a constraint).
3. Its wall paint
How you paint your kitchen has a lot of bearing upon its overall warmness. Rich textures or earthy hues; well! It is your decision to make but the color tone must be in sync with your personality.
4. A central island
‘No man is an island’ but each kitchen should ideally have one. A central island smartly compartmentalizes a kitchen even as it creates a beautiful recess area.
5. Visual texture
A kitchen denotes fire and hence wooden accents work very well for it. This is the prime reason why a wooden fireplace mantel can also enhance the richness of a kitchen.
6. Countertop
Of late, the market has been steadily attacked by a pleasant line of countertops. Some of them stretch till the gourmet area. If you have the money to go for it, nothing can beat a rich-veined quartz countertop.
7. Sink
Sinks in themselves are a utilitarian entity. However, you can make them a lot more chic by choosing those which come with integrated colanders and cutting boards.
8. High-tech appliances
If technology has given us wings, what prevents us from flying? There are ovens, chimneys, and burners to help us in our technology-quest.
9. Stainless steel equipments
It worked when it was introduced into the market and it works today when it has got a whole horde of competitors around. There is something about the neutral tinge of stainless steel- matt or gloss, which ends up being a heart winner.
10. A Kitchen designer
A kitchen designer can enhance the available space just by segregating or compartmentalizing the kitchen into various neat units. Each such unit turns out to be a complete entity in itself, if the designer is worth his salt.
In the final run
None of these aspects alone can create a stand-out kitchen but together they can boost the aesthetics and class of any kitchen around the globe.
