What to consider when building your kitchen
The golden rules of kitchen design.
AI summary
When designing a kitchen that adds real value, focus on functionality. The work triangle principle, connecting the sink, fridge, and oven, is a great guide for an efficient layout.
First, choose appliances that match your lifestyle, then plan your storage. Maximize space with smart cabinetry like full-depth pull-outs. Select the best quality, hard-wearing surfaces you can afford for benchtops and flooring. Finally, ensure a well-lit space by incorporating a mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting.
