Today, the kitchen space is following our lifestyle and the kitchen is not viewed only as a space to cook but also as a living-space. 

We are not designing our kitchens as before. We don’t have the same conception of cooking than our grandmothers (yes at that time men didn’t cook !!). 

In this second episode about designing your kitchen, I tell you about the importance of creating and atmosphere and choosing carefully your materials and collours. 

Materials are of course important : on the floor, on the cabinet and on the worktops & splashbacks. 

From quartz and acrylic to solid wood, tailor-made worktops can be adapted to your kitchen.

Regarding the colours, let’s say that they are two main possiblilities : choosing your kitchen in neutral shades ( white, grey, black, brown…) but add colours on details (splashbacks, accessories, a wallpaper ? ) or dare  a colourful kitchen because the rest of your atmosphere is more neutral. 

Everything is possibe, it is just a question of balance and being comfortable with the quantity of colours you are bringing.

Kitchen lighting

One key element is lighting !! A good lighting makes cooking safer, easier and more fun. 

My last advice is to ask for some professional help. Designing a kitchen is something complicated. It is difficult to think of all the little details that turns your kitchen into a really perfect space. Kitchen designers do it all day long, so definitely they have less chance to miss something. And don’t hesitate to ask for several proposals : each designer has his own sensibility and one may understand your needs better another.
