21 kitchen design ideas for your next reno or build

Planning your kitchen reno? First, define your goal (forever home vs. resale) and scope, from a full overhaul to cosmetic updates. Start your design with the layout and the 'working triangle'.

Create a cohesive design theme using a mood board for colours and textures. Prioritise practical elements like ample storage, favouring drawers over cabinets, and focused workspace lighting.

Consider material longevity and using natural materials for character to create a functional, beautiful space you'll love for years.
