Kitchens

Designing a kitchen can take longer than you imagine. This is an important space in the house and it has to be right. There are also a myriad of various possibilities and functions that have to be taken in to consideration, everything has to be carefully thought out.

It took me several days of drawing and redrawing to get the right layout and to decide where everything was going, how the space was going to be used and what happens to clutter.

I spent between 6-9 hours with various kitchen companies getting comparative quotes. Eventually, I decided on a shaker style design with all built in appliances from a high street manufacturer that came in within budget.

The Concept

Getting the interior space just right was going to be very important for us and this is not always an easy task.

Firstly, there are two people to consider (myself and my husband). There are so many things you need to think about, such as how you are going to use the space, how you want to feel in the space and lastly how you want the space to look.

We both had our own vision for the house but it was a clash of ideas and opinions. I started with getting David's ideas. I wanted five adjectives of how he would describe his ideal home. Then I wrote my own and considered words that were similar or meant the same thing to both of us. Using these words I developed a concept board to visualise how the end project could look.
