Choosing your kitchen layout can be one of the most important decisions when planning your kitchen, as it is the beginning point of your design process. Functional kitchen designs are continuing to incorporate spacious family living with open-planned layouts and seamless transitions from cooking, entertaining and relaxing.
Modern kitchen layouts are being designed with an emphasis on ‘liveability’ to accommodate to busy families. Here’s how to make your cooking, dining and relaxing spaces blend effortlessly.
Luminosity
An open planned kitchen will give the illusion of more space with increased natural light. When planning your kitchen renovation you may decide to remove a wall to remove the barrier between your cooking space and your social space.
Create Zones
Open kitchen layouts provide a versatile space for ease of entertaining and preparation. It is important to create zones for each region of cooking, dining and relaxing.
- Flooring: create a flow with your flooring from zone to zone by using the same material throughout. You might like to use tiles in your kitchen and main area and then use a rug in your living area to add warmth. Try not to contrast the colours and finishes too much as this can make your space appear visually smaller.
- Decor: When selecting furnishings, materials and fabrics for your kitchen décor, ensure each zone has similar shades and colour palettes to tie the areas together.
- Colours and Textures: When choosing materials for each area, they don’t have to match but should complement each other so they enhance the visual barrier of each space.
When choosing your kitchen layout, think about how you can cook, clean, eat and socialise in your kitchen and make sure it best suits your family lifestyle. Don’t hesitate to contact the professionals at Harrington Kitchens to discuss your kitchen renovation plans.
