An award-winning kitchen starts with great design. Maximising your floor plan. Functionality and Design restraint
As part of our Design process, we will start by examining your lifestyle and how you and your family utilise your kitchen, both now and into the future. How often do you cook and entertain, we’ll consider bench-space, pantry and storage requirements, interaction with family and friends whilst entertaining, and how it needs to function alongside the other areas of your home.
Once we have those essentials down will we look at how to best maximise your floorplan, are we designing within an existing footprint or can we borrow real-estate from surrounding areas to accommodate those key changes.
Other things to considering in designing your award-winning new kitchen include budget, must-haves vs wishlist, is this your forever home?
Functionality is at the forefront of all good design and is our basis on all our projects, not just fabulous kitchens.
The most functional layout will enhance the dimensions of your home and improve the efficiency of your cooking and entertaining, it will also make the space more enjoyable to be in and ensure use-ability for multiple people to be within the space at once.
Appliances are the cornerstone of the kitchen design and will directly influence the outcome so choosing them is a key consideration in the design process. Good appliance advice from an appliance specialist with our design expertise will give you the confidence in making the right decisions
We spend a lot of time on spatial planning to maximise your storage requirements and efficiency and will consider future proofing (and the usability over the coming decades) if this is your forever home. We are always looking for innovative solutions and systems.
