The Hallmarks of Excellent Kitchen Design

It’s not enough to just have a kitchen — it’s important that you have a well-designed space. By focusing on this one factor, improving comfort, aesthetics and function becomes easier. A premier kitchen remodel company in the area, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Rhode Island, discusses some of the hallmarks of excellent kitchen design.

Ample space. The kitchen is your home’s hub of activity. This is where space comes into play. A well-designed kitchen is spacious enough to allow for free, unobstructed movement. The general rule is that at least three people should be able to work in a kitchen without crowding.

More and smarter storage. When working in the kitchen, you’ll want to be able to reach the things you need with little effort. Clutter just makes cooking more time-intensive than it needs to be, so it’s crucial that your kitchen provides sufficient storage. This is yet another hallmark of good kitchen design: cabinets and drawers that not only look good, but maximize organization and accessibility too. With good storage, you can have a neater, more organized and functional kitchen.

Enhanced lighting. This is an essential that should never be overlooked in kitchen design. Good lighting makes working in the kitchen safer and more efficient. It also gives you the opportunity to highlight any fun or creative architectural details in the space. Natural light is still the best choice for illumination in the daytime, so consider adding more or larger windows in your kitchen.

Beautiful but low-maintenance materials. A well-designed kitchen should make cleanup and maintenance easier for you. Make sure to choose nonporous materials for the backsplash and countertops. Quartz, porcelain and glass allow for easier cleaning because liquids won’t seep into them and create stains. They also minimize the presence of bacteria and fungi since they don’t have cracks where these harmful elements can flourish.

The 6 Zones of a Hard-Working Kitchen

Unlike the traditional kitchen triangle, which was developed in the 1940s and focused primarily on the stove, sink, and refrigerator, modern kitchens require a more nuanced approach due to the increase in both the complexity and quantity of appliances.
