Designing kitchen cupboards involves careful planning and consideration of various factors to ensure functionality, aesthetics, and efficiency. Here are steps to guide you through the process:
Assessment of Needs: Our designer can assist you in identifying your specific storage needs, taking into consideration the types of items you plan to store, such as pots, pans, dishes, utensils, and food items.
Space Planning: We evaluate the available space in your kitchen, taking precise measurements to determine the dimensions for your cupboards.
Cabinet Layout: We produce and illustrate the layout of your cupboards based on the work triangle principle, ensuring easy access between the stove, sink, and refrigerator.
Storage Solutions: We assist you in finding a mix of storage solutions, including cabinets, drawers, and open shelving, to tailor the design and accommodate your storage needs.
Cabinet Styles: Our kitchen designers offer various cabinet styles that complement the overall design theme of your kitchen. These commonly include traditional, modern, shaker, and flat-panel designs, ensuring a cohesive match with the aesthetic of your house or flat.
We also ensure adequate lighting within your cupboards, especially in areas where you'll be working, such as near the countertop. We carefully consider under-cabinet lighting for both task lighting and ambiance.
If suitable for your design, consider incorporating open shelving for displaying dishes, cookbooks, or decorative items. This can add a sense of openness to the kitchen. We customize your cupboard design to suit your lifestyle
Material Selection: We supply durable and easy-to-maintain materials for your cupboards, including wood, MDF, plywood, or laminates. Our full 18mm MFC cabinetry ensures consistent color, encompassing back panels, fittings, and drawers. We coordinate the color and finish of your cupboards with the overall color scheme of your kitchen, considering factors like natural light and room size.
Hardware and Accessories: We supply appropriate hardware, such as handles and knobs, which aligns with the style of your cupboards, considering the incorporation of accessories like pull-out trays for added functionality. All our cabinetry designs, including Ironmangory, feature reputable brands like Hafele and similar.
Integrated Appliances: Explore options for integrating kitchen appliances seamlessly into your cupboards for a streamlined look. This can include hiding appliances like refrigerators or dishwashers behind cabinet doors.
Remember, the key to successful kitchen cupboard design is balancing functionality with aesthetics. By carefully considering your needs and preferences, we can create you a kitchen that is both practical and visually appealing. The Turquoise Furniture kitchen design team provides valuable insights and helps refine your ideas into a cohesive design.
