How do you design a kitchen? What needs
to be considered when your designing a kitchen? Your kitchen is where you
entertain, cultivate relationships and friendships as well as nourish their
bodies. In Nigeria, the kitchen has fast become the centre for your home
entertainment. So you want it to be as efficient and comfortable possible! But
where do you start? The ideas and suggestions below will help you make that
perfect new kitchen happen. Otherwise, give us a call and let us help guide
you.
Maybe your old kitchen is falling apart
and is not inspiring you to cook or be in there any longer. This doesn’t
necessarily mean you have to tear the whole room apart and start from scratch.
Kitchen design and building fall under
2 major categories – Renovate or Update.
New Kitchen
Renovation
“New Kitchen construction” refers to work done on a house that’s being entirely
built from the ground up. Normally, the decision to build a new home rests on
more than just the need for a new kitchen. But the decision to build from
scratch often provides the most leeway for creating the kitchen configuration
you want. If, for example, you’d love the formal dining room, kitchen/breakfast
room, and family room to all flow into one another, with the kitchen as the
hub, new construction can make that happen for you with the stroke of a pen. If
you want the dish washer off to the right of the kitchen, you can have it — and
a you can build a kitchen pantry too!
Of course, the overall house and
property size will affect your kitchen’s size, and your kitchen budget is only
one part of your total house-building budget. But in new kitchen construction,
you can trade off build costs between the kitchen and other rooms for maximum flexibility.
Updating a Kitchen or Kitchen Remodelling
Many houses in Nigeria built in the 1980’s or sooner may only require a basic
update such as changing handles, kitchen cabinet doors, new appliances and
light fittings.
Decorative changes, or a kitchen
face-lift, involve sprucing up without tearing down. This is cheaper and easier
than renovation but won’t address major problems, such as lack of light, space,
and connection to other rooms. If your kitchen basically suits you as it is,
but you’d like a bit more efficiency or a fresher, more stylish appearance,
decorative changes may be what you need. At its most ambitious, a facelift may
include replacing some appliances, benchtops, and flooring with stylish
upgrades. Or it may include simply be painting the walls and window treatments
and adding fresh accessories. A new look can make a well-planned kitchen more
enjoyable to work and live in.
Whatever you choose, be sure your
expectations are in line with what’s possible, given the scope of the work and your
budget. Even the ultimate dream kitchen is only a small part of your
life, so keep things in perspective.
However you decide to update your
kitchen, you will want to keep a firm grasp on the costs. Home projects always
end up costing more than you would think, and careful budgeting is the only way
to keep the price in check.

You
must not have an expensive kitchen, before can have a comfortable kitchen. Yes,
the term ‘comfortable kitchen.’ This is where all the components, including the
arrangement are in harmony. A kitchen where you can walk into, no matter how
dirty the dishes are, you still find a reason to smile.
You
don’t need to be fed up, but rather, satisfied with your kitchen. Your kitchen
can keep you smiling all day. It can make you running back home every evening. It
can help you cut down on your calories when you are no longer eating at fast
food joints all the time.
A
good kitchen is possible, no matter where you are. No matter the design of your
apartment, you can still have a good comfortable kitchen that won’t get you
frustrated. This is possible with proper planning. Planning done by someone who
has time for it, and who is professionally inclined in doing that.
