Basic Recipe for a sizzling Kitchen Design

Remember, your kitchen is a room full of emotion.  We have a tendency to spend more time there as a family than any other room in the house!  Therefore any kitchen project will feel very near and dear to your heart.  Be careful to make wise decisions that will make your remodeling project as easy and professional as possible.

The Basics
First of all you need to decide if you are going to design your new kitchen yourself or use a kitchen designer.  The experts at Designer Kitchen & Bath can guide you through the planning process, working with your contractor or architect to design the best space for you.  They can also help you select products that are appropriate for your home, lifestyle and budget

Flooring
A good basic option for your kitchen is vinyl.  A resilient vinyl floor has more bounce and may prevent breakage when you drop a glass or a dish.  A deeply textured pattern could hide dirt too!  Very popular choices recently are tile, laminate and wood.  These add a rich depth to your kitchen and can be softened by the use of area rugs and mats. Designer Kitchen & Bath can help you during the selection process.

Storage space
The best kitchen designs are laid out with work zones in mind. Using what’s called “the work triangle,” kitchen designers place everything from ovens and cooktops to sinks and refrigerators — as well as the cabinets themselves — within various zones.  Harmony® Storage Solutions from Designer Kitchen & Bath are organized by zones as well. These zones include Food Storage, Tableware Storage, Preparation, Cooking and Cleanup. Specialized Storage Solutions that work within these zones, allowing you to maximize storage, accessibility and comfort in your kitchen are available at Designer Kitchen & Bath.

Kitchen Sink
Sinks are an important functional element of your kitchen, but nowadays they are also a key design element.  You can choose from a variety of design options, colors, materials, sizes and shapes.  There’s a sink for any budget!  Do you want a single bowl sink, a double-bowl, shallow, deep or a combination of all of it?  Sinks come in cast iron, stainless steel, plastic, ceramic and more.
