How to get your dream kitchen

Realising your dream kitchen has never been easier and never has there been so many choices out there. It is thus important to know a little about the process of planning, designing and installing a new kitchen. It’s one of the most important rooms in the house and will always be regarded as a key interior design feature.

From the concept or idea to the actual kitchen, it is now all in your hands. Both the technology and the companies exist that will be able to take your dream kitchen designs and turn these into a reality.

The process of kitchen design and installation has been streamlined and simplified. The pandemic may have helped as firms needed a way to keep customers engaged and the result is a process that works virtually to get you your dream kitchen. Here are the steps to follow to ensure that you get exactly what you want and what works for your needs.

The design

The idea needs to go on paper or on a screen and be saved - a DIY kitchen planner will help with this. This will allow you to make changes and carry out the planning process in a visual way.

The planning and knowledge gathering

Once you have a design in mind and have managed to put this down somewhere, then you need to be able to discuss it with a professional. There may be a design feature or several design features that need an architectural eye or structural design advice. So, it’s great to have it on paper or on a screen somewhere, but those who will make the product need to be able to approve it from a structural point of view before you can have it made.

The examples and virtual rooms

Make sure that you see a mock-up in 3d CAD design. There are also great virtual kitchens that you can walk through that will have the exact dimensions of your own prospective kitchen. This allows you to get a true sense of the spaces and functionality before you pay for the build.

Decisions

Once you’ve done a walk through in the virtual room, you should also be able to add colour and textures to the kitchen. Modern tech will allow you to change the colours as many times as you want before you decide and buy. Choose and finalise the materials, colours and textures. This is where you can really ensure that you solidify the dream and stamp your mark on your kitchen.

Have it cut to spec, and sent to you or get a COVID-19-safe install

Once you’ve approved everything the last step is to get the kitchen cut to specifications and sent to you for you to assemble on site. Or, if you’ve gone local, then plan a few days of takeaways and have the professionals install your new dream kitchen.

In an age when change is occurring incredibly fast, there are those things that won’t change, and that’s the value we place on time together over meals. The kitchen is a key part of the home and having one that you really like and is built for your lifestyle and your pocket is a great investment.
