For many families, the kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s a space that needs to work hard, often also functioning as a dining area, family room and office.
It should be easy to navigate and well equipped for everyday life. It should also reflect the style of the people who live there.
If working and running a busy household are standing between you and the best possible version of your kitchen, take a look at the following tips to turn your kitchen into a harmonious hub.
You can also use the interactive sliders below to see examples of inspiring kitchen transformations.
Top tips to transform your kitchen from chaotic to calm
1. Be practical about your space from the outset
Many kitchens are not as functional as we need them to be. One reason is because we’re not clear or practical about how the space should work.
For example, are you an enthusiastic home cook or keen baker? Then plan areas in your kitchen where you will prepare, cook and store food. Figure out where your appliances should go for your maximum convenience. Utilise every available square inch with slimline pull-out larder cupboards, storage bins and deep soft-close drawers. All this will help make food preparation and packing lunchboxes a breeze.
If your kitchen is more of a hub where your family gathers to spend some quality time together, then why not allocate room for well thought out areas? Set aside some space on your island or countertop for a breakfast bar where you can have meals or do some work on a laptop.
2. Streamline and add storage
Has your fruit bowl become a dumping ground for unpaid bills, receipts and keys?
It’s time to get it sorted, filing away what’s needed and throwing out the rest.
To prevent another pileup, have some storage bins ready, maybe allocating one for each member of your household for easy organisation.
If you already have an existing system in place, then it may be time to revisit it and see why it’s not working for you.
3. Invest in mod cons
If your home is a period property or is decorated traditionally, modern technology can be seen as somewhat of an eyesore.
But the advantages of modern conveniences just cannot be denied. Consider using smart fridges and wireless charging, especially in hardworking spaces such as kitchens. To make sure they fit the aesthetic of your space, consult with design experts.
Home makeover specialists like Trend Transformations offer composite worktops and splashbacks that can easily integrate the latest technologies like HD TVs and cordless charge points. Pop-up power sockets and USB charging points can be easily added to your kitchen island units while smart fridges can be hidden behind larder-style door fronts. So you can ensure these high-tech additions will blend well with the look of your room.
