We change the decor and arrangement of the kitchen very rarely, so it is important to plan this space well.

Hire a professional

The kitchen is supposed to meet your expectations. However, it is such a complicated place to arrange that the design itself is worth leaving to a professional. The architect will combine into a functional whole the placement of all necessary appliances, the work zone and your aesthetic tastes. The main thing is to find such a specialist who has not only knowledge, but also the ability to listen to your needs. You can make notes or a moodboard beforehand. Also set an estimated budget. It's also a good idea to take some photos of the empty room or bring a projection of the apartment to the meeting. To be sure, check the dimensions of the walls provided by the developer.

First of all, functionality

Think about how you will use the kitchen. How often do you cook, and will it also be a place for dining? It is also important how many people will use this room at the same time and the height of the household members. All of this determines the design of communication in the kitchen, as well as the appropriate location and number of drawers and cabinets. You also need to decide whether you prefer a closed or open kitchen. This includes partitions and doors, as well as cabinets that can hide their contents, or properly display them. Write down the exact dimensions of all household appliances. Consider whether you want a built-in or free-standing refrigerator, and where the oven should be located. If you are planning a renovation, think about what is missing from the kitchen you already have.

In your style

Think about what interior style and atmosphere you like best. Look for inspiration on interior design websites and social media. However, remember to choose room arrangements that are similar in size and layout to your future kitchen. Determine the color scheme. Ask yourself, do you feel better surrounded by warm or cold colors? It's also a good idea to go to a store or showroom and look at different materials, both natural ones such as stone, wood and steel, and their substitutes, such as laminates, quartz and sinters.
