How To Get The Kitchen Of Your Dreams
In
many ways, creating a kitchen isn’t any more complicated than creating a cake.
You can put a new twist on an old recipe or construct a brand new one
step-by-step. Regardless, you first must decide:
What you have a
taste for
How much you want
to spend
When you want it
to be done
What size and
shape you prefer
Most cakes have the same basic ingredients. They don’t taste special until you
stir in the chocolate chips or the raspberries. So it is with a new kitchen.
Every kitchen has the same basic design elements:
Cabinets
Appliances
Countertops
Flooring
Sinks and faucets
Walls, mouldings,
and other architectural details
It’s a kitchen
remodeling designer who plays the role of baker in your new kitchen
remodeling plans. A designer can give your kitchen its own unique flavor by
helping you find the right mix of styles, materials, and colors.
Starting points include:
The architectural style of your California home—by making your home’s interior
reflect its exterior, you bring continuity to the whole structure.
Your needs—perhaps you want space to cook big family meals, you’re an at-home
gourmet, or you have special accessibility concerns. Your cabinets’ door style
and color will have the most impact on your new kitchen’s palette by making the
strongest visual statement.
Appliances also deserve top billing. Which ones you select and where you put
them will determine how cook-friendly your layout is.
Next you’ll want to choose complementary countertops, flooring, plumbing
fixtures, and architectural details. Don’t try to get everything to match
exactly. You can best give your kitchen a certain feel by making sure everything
coordinates but still keeps its own character.
It’s hard to be patient while you’re waiting for your new kitchen to be
installed. Make other arrangements for your meals and protect your belongings in
rooms near the work area.
When it’s all done, celebrate with a party—and some chocolate cake!
