4 Things to Look For in Your New Fitted Kitchen
By Kitchen Craftsmen|April 29, 2013
The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in any home. It’s usually the centre of all social activity and family life. It’s important that your kitchen provides what you need to be comfortable. Let’s look at the most 4 important factors in achieving this:
Space
This should be a serious priority when selecting your kitchen. You need enough space to cook and move around. In fact, ideally you will have more space than you need. Fortunately most homes in Western Australia are spacious enough to add a very comfortable kitchen.
The amount of space that you need will depend on what you use your kitchen for. If you hold a lot of parties and like to entertain, then you may need even more space to cater for all the guests. If you like to cook and then go, then you’ll probably need just the bare basics. Consider whether you want a table to spend time with the family around.
Within reach
Most fitted kitchens are designed so that everything is within easy reach. Everything that you need to perform your role as a cook should be at hand. Of course, modern kitchens can come with many different types of accessories including fold-up television screens, pull out ironing boards and very clever space saving and convenient design features.
Work Surface
When it comes to work surfaces, it’s important to always buy high quality. You’ll find that better quality work surfaces will last longer and they will also retain their good looks over time and after use. Keep in mind that high gloss surfaces can scratch very easily. You might want to go for something a little tougher so that you have the longevity that you are looking for.
The Sink
The sink is an essential piece of kitchen kit. Double sinks offer flexibility and convenience when cooking. Waste disposals also offer an excellent way to get rid of left-over food without creating a smell.
By considering these four essential elements, you’ll be in good position to make the best kitchen choices.
