Designing a kitchen is exciting, but it’s easy to overlook key details that can affect functionality and style.
- 1. Poor Layout Planning
A bad layout can make cooking a chore. Follow the kitchen work triangle (sink, hob, fridge) to keep things efficient. - 2. Not Enough Storage
Cluttered worktops? Install pull-out pantry shelves, deep drawers, and overhead cabinets to maximise space. - 3. Ignoring Lighting
Harsh or dim lighting can ruin the ambiance. Use layered lighting—pendants, under-cabinet LEDs, and task lighting—to brighten your space. - 4. Choosing Style Over Function
Trendy designs are great, but prioritise durability. Matte finishes, quartz worktops, and soft-close cabinets blend style with practicality. - 5. Skipping a Statement Feature
A bold splashback, contrasting island, or stylish pendant lights add personality—don’t be afraid to make a statement!
