If you have the luxury of redesigning your kitchen, you should follow a few steps for ideal kitchen planning. After all, sufficient storage space, a clear cooking area, and the best kitchen appliances need to be carefully selected and efficiently integrated into the existing space. As kitchen exhibitors, we at Möbel-Peeck in Mannheim and Worms will explain how to create your perfect dream kitchen in 5 simple but essential steps.
1. Measure your kitchen & plan the space
To first become aware of what is possible when installing a new kitchen, you should have the kitchen measured by professionals. The size of the room, as well as the ceiling height, sloping ceilings, or similar, are co-determining for the appearance and design options. It is best to make a rough sketch showing the outlines of your kitchen.
To design the kitchen later so that it impresses in terms of appearance and functionality, you can think about the possible layout beforehand. Where do you want the hob? How could wall units or similar be built around existing windows? Are there structural elements such as pull-out larders or appliances such as a double oven that you definitely want? Integrate your wishes alone or, ideally, together with a kitchen planner.
2. Determine the work surface
Modern kitchens impress not only in terms of appearance and design, but also with their optimal space utilization, especially for sufficient work surfaces. After all, cooking is much easier when you can spread out your cooking utensils better. For this reason, in professionally designed kitchens today, work surfaces are cut to size to precisely fit the room to avoid unused corners.
3. Plan storage space
Anyone who enjoys cooking and baking or who caters to a large family with their culinary skills also needs adequate storage space. Think through the layout of your kitchen and integrate practical and technically sophisticated cabinets such as a carousel unit or a pull-out larder. These are particularly suitable for narrow spaces between cabinets or unused corners under the work surface.
4. Choose kitchen appliances
Among the most important elements of a kitchen are high-quality kitchen appliances that offer the necessary features and last a long time. Appliances such as coffee machines, dishwashers, stoves, and refrigerators/freezers are used constantly or particularly frequently. Inform yourself beforehand about the advantages and disadvantages of different manufacturers and consider the desired settings that each appliance should have.
5. Integrate lighting concepts
High-quality and well-designed lighting makes a big difference. This applies not only to the living room but also to the kitchen. Modern LED systems save you high electricity costs and the cleaning of grease and dust on hanging lamps. Lights integrated into the cabinets also provide atmospheric lighting.
