Need a little kitchen inspo?
AI summary
Planning a kitchen reno? First, define your goal (resale vs. forever home) and scope. Gather inspiration from sites like Houzz and consider professional help before starting.
Begin with the layout, focusing on the 'working triangle', and develop a cohesive theme using a 'mood board'. Prioritise natural materials and textures for character. Plan appliances before cabinetry and maximise storage with drawers over cupboards.
Finally, ensure good task lighting, aim for open spaces, and consider material longevity for a beautiful and functional result.
Don't be afraid to add a little colour!
Good kitchen design should make cooking, cleaning (and life) a little easier.
