  • If there's one room in your house

  • that needs a good design over everything else,

  • it's the kitchen.

  • It's the room that works the hardest in the home.

  • So it really has to work.

  • As a first step, measure your available space

  • and map out your design on grid paper.

  • Do your research and click pictures of any kitchen

  • you like for reference.

  • It's great to keep coming back to these along the way.

  • Maximize the space your kitchen offers

  • by using the principle of the working triangle,

  • linking the cooktop, sink, and fridge for functional workflow.

  • And once you have your overall design sorted,

  • it's time to think about a color scheme.

  • Consider the existing color palette

  • of your home and the adjacent rooms.

  • Cabinetry will cover the bulk of your kitchen wall space.

  • And you should aim for as much storage as possible.

  • You definitely won't regret it.

  • Drawers make life easy and utilize all the space

  • within your cabinetry.

  • The main choice to make is between a traditional melamine

  • and newer foil finish.

  • Both materials are extremely hard-wearing.

  • But foil has the added benefits of a seamless edge.

  • And no edge means a cleaner, more modern finish and no water

  • damage--

  • perfect for a kitchen.

  • Benchtops come in a wide range of materials.

  • Formica is a hardy surface made from a high pressure laminate.

  • And you can choose your edge-- whether that

  • be square, bullnose, or round-- and it comes

  • in a wide range of colors.

  • And acrylic is another great option.

  • Unlike Formica, acrylic is poured as one slab,

  • so you won't have any seams.

  • Also, if by chance it's damaged, you can get the surface sanded

  • and bring it back to new.

  • To bring in more of a natural look,

  • reconstituted stone is amazing.

  • Mixed with resin, it's far less porous than pure stone

  • and very durable.

  • The Caesarstone is the perfect example of this.

  • Complementing your benchtop is the sink and tap pairing.

  • Moving beyond chrome and stainless steel,

  • monochromatic options look super sharp as an alternative.

  • Also, make sure the sink fits the biggest roasting tray--

  • trust me.

  • The splashback is a small enough area

  • where you can afford to be a little bit more daring.

  • Glass is cost effective and easy to install.

  • While tiles can help inject a little bit

  • of personality and texture.

  • With all of the big decisions made,

  • you can start to look at the finishing details.

  • And once you've picked a cabinet,

  • finish it off with a perfect handle.

  • The options are endless.

  • The appliances you choose also need to reflect your lifestyle.

  • Oven size, cooktop method, double or single-door fridge--

  • every kitchen will be different.

  • As will your budget.

  • One note-- everyone always forgets

  • to find a spot for the microwave.

  • And they shouldn't live on top of your fridge.

  • And finally, lighting-- the kitchen

  • is a task-oriented room.

  • So make sure your workspaces are well lit.

  • There's always room for a feature pendant

  • to complement your style.

  • The kitchen really is the heart of the home.

  • So make sure that you choose one that you love,

  • because you will be spending a lot of time in it.
