Fabulous New Kitchen Designs for the Modern Day Family

Over the last two decades we have seen a major change in kitchen styles and designs. Kitchen designers and manufacturers are working in close partnership to create fabulous kitchens with the modern day family in mind. These new style kitchens are now well sort after by many homeowners, making kitchen renovations and kitchen remodelling the most popular home improvement project of all time.

Today’s kitchen designs are created to give a cosy, homely feel and provide a multi-functional room, where the entire family can gather to partake in many different activities, whether sharing food preparation tasks, dining, reviewing daily news, relaxing or socialising.

The ideas and functions of these new kitchen designs is to utilise the whole area of the original kitchen more effectively to gain the most from this room. They are largely constructed to create more space and do so by producing a layout that is more sleek and streamline. One clever method often seen is the encasing of larger appliances within cabinets exteriors and concealing them behind kitchen cabinet doors. This immediately gives the impression of having lots more storage space whilst giving the kitchen a neat and stylish finish and appearance.

Adequate and sufficient storage space can be found in the form of low level cabinets, large drawers, wall units, larders and central island with storage underneath. Being able to put the majority of utensils, jars, pots and pans out of view presents a kitchen that is neat and ‘clutter-free’. Worktops are therefore clear and available for the purpose of preparing food or displaying much smaller, useful appliances such as a coffee machine, decorative ornaments like a cookbook stand or a vase of flowers. Similarly, hi-fi’s and/or ipods as well as TV’s (mounted on a wall) can often now found on displayed in this area as family members choose to spend more quality time in this room.

Creative use of natural materials like glass, solid wood, stone, granite, and other manmade materials make this room easy to clean and maintain. This is exactly what is required for a room which is constantly in use. Having new lighting will contribute to the whole social experience. Create an abundance of light during food preparation and dining with family, and opt for softer lighting to change the mood when relaxing and enjoying quiet time. All of these subtle finishing touches can make the new kitchen design more dynamic and beautiful, smooth to the touch and aesthetically delightful.

Whatever your choice in kitchen design, whether you opt for a complete kitchen renovation or a kitchen makeover, today’s kitchen designers and manufacturers understand what is required to help you achieve the kitchen of your dream.
