GUEST BLOG: Making the right decisions when planning for your next Kitchen


When it comes to Interior Design in today’s home, it’s clear that the Kitchen is the main hub.

With more focus on the Kitchen and open plan Living/Dining areas, it is important to make this the main attraction and spare no expense with the materials and finishes. If you think about Real Estate agents and what advice they give prior to Sale, it’s always in regards to the Kitchen.

In my opinion, when it comes to making the right selection for your home, id suggest, ‘keep it simple Simon’.

Fashion and trends change so quickly, so select something classic and timeless. Bold statements and too much colour don’t always pay off, so try not to get too fancy. It’s important to use a mix of materials to give the space warmth and depth.

A white Kitchen is beautiful, but maybe consider different textures or introducing a little bit of timber somewhere to add character.

To give your kitchen personality, select a door and drawer profile that suits the style and period of your home. Choose a stone, concrete or timber bench-top apposed to laminate, it always adds class. Finally, make sure the splash-back is complimentary to your furniture and interior colours of your home. This is often this first item to date a Kitchen.

By keeping the Kitchen concept simple, elegant, timeless and classic, this will allow you to inject more colour and personality into other areas of your home that are easier and less costly to change over time.

If you are looking to renovate, extend or build a new kitchen, make sure you get the layout right. It needs to be ergonomic and flow easily from one side to the other.
