Creating the perfect kitchen for you is going to be a personal journey, and nobody else is going to be able to do this for you. If you have decided that you want to create an amazing kitchen for yourself and you have the funds to be able to do this, then we’re super happy for you! There are so many things that you can do, but it’s down to you to make those choices as the perfect kitchen is subjective to everyone.
In this article, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the different things that we urge you to think about, but when it comes down to it you’re going to have to make all of these decisions yourself. If you would like to find out more about this topic, keep reading.
Where Appliances Are
The first thing that you might want to think about is the way that you are arranging the appliances in the kitchen. Some people like to have them put away in cupboards when they are not using them, and others like to have them out on display so that they are easier to get to. Whichever option you decide is going to be fine, as we have seen kitchens look fabulous both ways. Think about what you want to see when you walk into space. Some people like to see clear, clutter free countertops, and others like to see kitchen appliances that make them feel like they’re in a homey kitchen,
Just think carefully about where you want things, and move them around as needed. As long as they are not a danger where you have put them, and they are able to access electricity if needed, that’s all that matters.
Special Appliances
In order to create the perfect kitchen, we’re sure that there are going to be some special appliances that you would like to have. For example, some people will want to look into the best home coffee machine if you have a love of coffee! Or, if you are quite the little baker, then you may want to think about getting an electric mixer and having that in your kitchen.
Special appliances are definitely going to be personal to you because only you know what is classed as special in your mind. Do some research into the ones that you know that you want, and then enjoy them. If you are struggling to come up with ideas for your kitchen appliances, then close your eyes. Think about your perfect kitchen, and think about what you can see. This will give you a few ideas to get started with.
A Fridge You Love
Your fridge might not seem like it’s important, but it contributes to the overall space so it absolutely is. If you have only got room for a small under the counter fridge, then you need to figure out how to make some more room. In nobody’s perfect kitchen do they have a single, under the counter fridge, so don’t try to kid yourself. There may be a way that you can move things around, and get them sorted so that you have more space for a proper fridge, even if this means expanding the kitchen a little. A small fridge just isn’t suitable for everyone, and it’s not going to fit into your idea of the perfect kitchen so you need to stop trying.
Do your research into the different fridge options and figure out which one is going to make you happy. Do you want a double door American fridge freezer? Do you want a single food fridge without a freezer attached? These are questions that you are going to need to answer if you want to make the correct purchase.
Flooring
Now let’s look at the flooring of the kitchen. There are some people who have carpet in their kitchen, but we can’t advise this. Not only is it not safe with all the flames, but it’s not practical. It’s hard to clean, and it hangs on to smells, meaning that your kitchen is likely going to stink sooner rather than later.
You might have read that and thought that carpet in the kitchen is an odd choice anyway, but we had to say it. So, that leaves you with a range of hard flooring options to consider. Do you want wood? Do you want something that looks like wood? Tiles? Stick down tiles? There are so many options and you need to figure out which one you want. You need to think about durability, about how long they are going to last, about convenience, and about aesthetics. Think carefully about what you envisioned originally, and look at the floor to figure out what to do if you are stuck.
Countertops
Of course, the countertops are going to have a massive bearing on how your kitchen looks when it’s finished. They are one of the main points of the space after all, so what do you want to do with them? Do you want to change them completely to something new? Do you want to simply cover them so that they look different but aren’t? Do you want to change where they are located and change up the entire space? It’s up to you, but it has to fit in with your budget.
Cabinet
Cabinets are one of the main things that you see when you walk into the kitchen. They make such an impact on the space overall that you can’t forget about them. If you don’t like where they are positioned, then you’re going to need to rip them out completely and have new ones put in. Or, if you like them where they are, you just don’t like how they look, then perhaps you can look into changing the fronts only. It will save you a lot of money, while still transforming the space to fit in with the new design.
Take a look at different cabinets, different depths, different fronts and make a decision that will make you happy. As long as you are able to afford the changes, it doesn’t matter what you do, as long as it makes you happy. That’s the goal here, remember? Your perfect kitchen to make you happy.
Room To Eat?
Do you want to be able to have space to eat your meals in the kitchen? If you do, then you are going to need to get a table and chairs and work out how to make this happen. Some people prefer not to eat in the kitchen as they feel as though it gets too crowded, but others love to have a space where everyone can sit together.
If you don’t want a dining table and chairs in here, you can always see if there is enough space to put a breakfast island in. These are awesome, and can be used for other purposes making it helpful to have.
Hopefully, you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the things that you should be doing to create the perfect kitchen for you. If you get the opportunity to create the perfect kitchen for yourself, then you should not pass up the opportunity, and you should also ensure that you are thinking this through carefully. The last thing that you want is to rush through this process, only to end up with a kitchen that you don’t really like but cost you a whole bunch of money in the process. We wish you the very best of luck, and hope that you end up with an amazing kitchen that makes you happy.
