Kitchens
Designing kitchens is a true passion of mine: creating spaces that are not only beautiful, but deeply functional and welcoming - where people gather and feel at home.
Key things to consider:
📍Layout & Flow: think of how you move in the space - cooking, prepping, cleaning (work triangle)
📍 Function: what do you need most? Storage, prep space, seating?
📍Storage: think of deep drawers, pantry space, hidden solutions
📍 Lighting: layered lighting is key - task lighting for cooking, ambient for atmosphere and accent to highlight features
📍 Materials & finishes: chose materials that are both beautiful and durable. Worktops, cabinetry and flooring should withstand daily use and still feel timeless
📍 Furniture & Seating: is it a social kitchen? Consider an island, bar stools or a dining area
📍 Appliances & details: integrate appliances seamlessly and think of practical details - plug sockets (include USB), waste bins etc.
