 Kitchen Planning Basics

Forward planning is probably the most important element of buying a new kitchen and time spent is this respect will be well rewarded in your enjoyment of your kitchen for years to come.

Here are some of the things to consider.

  • What shape will the kitchen be?
    • Single Gallery
    • Double Gallery
    • "L" shaped
    • "U" shaped
    • "G" shaped
    • Island
  • How big is the family.
    • If you are a single person or a couple, who may frequently eat out, then your requirements will obviously be different to a family with children. You need to consider the facilities you need to suit your lifestyle.
  • Who will use it and how often.
    • Will the family use the kitchen as their main eating area or do you just need a breakfast bar. Available space may be a limiting factor here but think carefully about your requirements to make the best use of what you have.
  • Will the kitchen be fitted or free-standing?
    • Fitted, which can be flat-pack, rigid or custom built, will make the best use of your space and add value to your home, but you can't take it with you if you move.
      Freestanding gives a more individual and informal appearance as you can mix and match all kinds of furniture to create the environment you require. You can also take this with you if you move and you can add a fresh feel in the future by just replacing individual items.
  • Do not overlook your storage requirements, now and in the future as they may vary.
