Usually, the kitchen area is one of the least stylish and least designed areas in a home. In fact, it is one of the most challenging spaces to design since an interior designer has to consider what kitchenware needs to be displayed or put inside the cupboard.
Surely enough, homeowners who love to cook would need a larger space in their kitchen. Here are some kitchen design ideas that will surely make your area more space-friendly and seem bigger.
As reported by the Huffington Post, Jenny Wolf, one of the note-worthy interior designers in New York, shared her take on how to incorporate kitchen design ideas that would make the cooking space more flexible and space-friendly.
"I believe people love to congregate in the kitchen, even if it is tiny. But I only design what is right for each area while always keeping in mind the client's needs," she said. "You can work wonders in a small space with the proper balance of functionality and materials."
Given this, her first kitchen design tip is placing mirrors in the kitchen space. "Mirrors are especially useful when there is no, or minimal, natural light in the kitchen. They can help to open the space up and bounce light around," she said.
Wolf has been known to incorporate mirrors in her designs.
In other news, Builder Online also shared their own take on what makes the kitchen space efficiently utilized. According to Claire Reimann, a kitchen designer from Jason Good Custom Cabinets, "While a large space like this is a luxury, the challenge is to create an efficient work triangle while also ensuring good traffic flow."
Given this, she suggested that the range, refrigerator, main sink and the other wall should face the view or be consolidated in a kitchen island. This home kitchen idea of hers is one way to separate the cooking area from that of the clean-up areas, which, when placed together, could turn the kitchen into a mess.
Referring to her design, she said, "We wanted an island with lots of counter space, and it make sense to put the range against the wall rather than on the island so we could vent the hood fan directly outside. We didn't want a hood hanging in the middle of the space."
With professional interior kitchen design tips from two of the industry's noted designers, Jenny Wolf and Claire Reinmann, these kitchen design ideas are sure to make your cooking space more comfortable and space-friendly.
