Kitchens are one of the most important rooms in your whole house, that's why when people renovate their kitchen they have to get what they want. Most people seem to forget that lots of people use the kitchen, it is extremely important to ask the rest of your family what they want from your kitchen. If you are currently designing your kitchen then there are some important things that you need to avoid.
Don't be too concerned with the Kitchen Triangle
Everyone keeps on putting lots of emphasis on the kitchen triangle, and yes in some circumstances they can be useful. However you don't really need one in your kitchen unless you want one. If you have a large kitchen, then placing the triangle in the middle isn't really the best use of space. Don't focus too highly on the triangle; rather work on creating workstations next to appliances. These workstations are much more useful than the kitchen triangle.
Ask what everyone wants
Kitchens are used by more than one person even if you're currently single you should design it so that other people will like it too. Anyway a nice kitchen will add value to your home. So unless you will never move and will always live a life of solitude then it's worth bearing in mind what other people would like from your kitchen. You should always be looking into the future when designing your kitchen, even if you don't plan to get married; it's still a good idea to cater for any eventuality! A kitchen remodeling project will also benefit you, who wouldn't like to have more space in their kitchen? Preparing food in a spacious room can be a joy. If you can afford it then go for it!
Do Not Scrimp On Storage Spaces
Storage space is very important in a kitchen, you have to tuck lots of things away out of show. You've got your glasses, cups, pots and pans & all your kitchen gadgetry! Your collection of kitchen equipment will increase over time, so you should try to keep some spare space. If you have enough room for everything that you need to store it will make your kitchen much more welcoming and less cluttered.
