How To Design A Modern And Functional Kitchen

The kitchen area is often the hub of family homes; it is a space where people are brought together to cook, eat, and chat together. This means that there are many design considerations that you need to think about when you are renovating or remodeling your kitchen. Here are some top tips to help you to create the perfect room for your family. 

  • Choose a Modern Theme or Aesthetic

One of the best ways to create a modern kitchen is to look at the most fashionable themes and aesthetics. Although cottage core and country kitchens have been trending in recent months, interior design has now moved on to industrial style spaces. Industrial kitchens are excellent options for families as they are both durable and highly functional, allowing you to create a sleek and stylish space with the potential to last for years. If you are planning to create an industrial kitchen, you should consider installing fitted wall shelving to make the most of the room. To install your own shelves, you will need the appropriate shelving brackets, and so a wall plate key clamp will come in handy to do this. 

  • Consider Your Plumbing

When you are creating a kitchen space for your family, you need to consider your plumbing and whether you need to change the layout of your pipes. For instance, you need to think about the position of your sink and whether you have the skills that you need to move the pipes to a different location. You also need to consider the type of kitchen sink that you are investing in; many now have detachable faucets, which make them more flexible. To ensure that you are making changes in the right way, it is best to hire the services of a professional plumber who will make sure your pipes and equipment are working properly. A company like Beehive Plumbing would be able to make sure your modern kitchen design is functional from a plumbing perspective.

  • Install Ample Storage Facilities

From spice racks to knife holders, having ample storage in your kitchen is paramount to make sure that you can easily organize your kitchen equipment and appliances. Along with fitted kitchen cabinets, you should also consider installing shelving under your kitchen counters, as well as converting your window sills into shelving. You may also consider hanging storage solutions, such as ceiling pan racks.

  • Create a Social Space

Your kitchen should be a social space where all of your family can gather to share the day’s stories and to eat together. The best way to achieve this is by installing kitchen islands. As well as giving you more space, islands can create a central gathering point for the whole family to enjoy, doubling up as both a countertop and a dining table. An alternative to islands for those that have smaller kitchens is installing a breakfast bar, which you can fix against the wall for a simple and yet effective way to create seating within your kitchen.

  • Opt for Open Plan

Most modern kitchens are now starting to become open-plan. To create an inviting open-plan kitchen-diner, you should consider creating zones in the room through shelving, fireplaces, and half walls. You should also consider building layers or changing the floor type throughout, such as using tiles in the kitchen and wood panels for the dining area. This will allow you to create separate spaces while ensuring that your kitchen remains cohesive.
