Go Design residential drafting servies in Sydney continue with more kitchen design tips

Last week our new home designers in Penshurst brought you some useful tips to keep in mind when designing your dream kitchen. Today we continue with more ideas for you to consider with your kitchen design:

Garbage Solutions

When designing your dream kitchen, it is easy to get excited and forget about the “not so lovely” details such as waste solutions. Think about where your bins go, if you are tight on space an under-bench, pull out bin is always the best option. If it's within your budget, include recycling bins and ensure they are easy to get out and clean. If you have the room, pull out bins in a full-size are fabulous! Remember, the most convenient place to keep a bin is near the sink.

Task Lighting

Our experts in residential extensions in Penshurst know it’s always better to have light fall in front of you, rather than behind you to reduce shadows. Often your standard overhead lighting is not sufficient and we recommend using LED lights in your wall cabinets to brighten up the bench space or adding a few extra lights over main bench spaces.

Appliances

Appliances are certainly a significant part of your kitchen budget, but remember they will get used everyday. You don’t have to always go with the top-of-the-line, however it’s definitely worthwhile choosing brands that are well known so they can be serviced easily.

Storage Solutions

If it is within your budget you can include advanced storage solutions. Drawers are efficient and can hold up to 30% more items than shelves. They are also easy to use and you don’t have to crouch down to dig for items. Hidden drawers, pull out pantries, and pull out corner solutions can make your kitchen easier to use and will be a good long-term investment.
