Need a little kitchen inspo?

AI summary
Planning your kitchen reno? First, define your goal (forever home vs. resale) and scope (full overhaul vs. cosmetic updates). Consider hiring a professional for expert guidance.
Next, plan your layout around the 'working triangle' and develop a cohesive design theme using a mood board. Prioritise practical elements like task lighting, ample storage with drawers over cabinets, and choosing appliances before finalising cabinetry.
Use natural materials and textures for character, and consider material durability for long-term satisfaction.
Don't be afraid to add a little colour!
Good kitchen design should make cooking, cleaning (and life) a little easier.
