The kitchen is often the most heavily used room in our home. This makes it a room where lack of storage or space to walk around can be difficult to manage, especially with the modern daily demands of busy working families.
Despite often being used for cooking, eating, working and socialising, many UK kitchens do not offer the amount of floor space needed for such heavy usage. It can be frustrating to manage storage and function, and it is often necessary to get creative with our design choices
Tips for Maximising Space
1. Make your storage work for you with smart solutions. Vertical units maximise space while also allowing easy sight of essentials.
2. Declutter and consider the installation of additional storage solutions such as pull-out larders or carousel units. By keeping your workspaces clear, you are giving the appearance of a much wider and more open space.
3. Neutral tones such as white, beige, grey, or cream can make a space feel open and airy, with monochrome schemes creating a high-end look.
4. Reflective surfaces allow light to reflect across the space, giving the appearance of more room. Select gloss-finish tiles or cupboards, as well as metallic splashbacks.
5. A cohesive look can be achieved with a minimal and sleek design – avoid over-busying the space with complex designs and finishes.
