DESIGN

The Kitchen Design Process

• The design process is broken down into two separate and often conflicting elements

FUNCTION v AESTHETICS

FUNCTION

• Step .1 Needs Analysis Your brief to the designer will determine how succesful

your kitchen is

• Step .2 Space Limitations Can you move / remove walls, extend out, change

rooms?

• Step .3 Use zonal principles Building blocks / template for starting your layout

• Step .4 Balance with aesthetics All best designs are a compromise between function &

aesthetics

AESTHETICS

There are three distinct styles in kitchen design and your preference will determine what design rules you apply.

CONTEMPORARY

HYBRID

CLASSIC

CONTEMPORARY KITCHENS

Blend with structure

Eliminate wall cabinets

HYBRID KITCHENS

This style is particularly suited to older houses that want a fresh / modernKitchen but are afraid a full-on contemporary design would look wrong.

Usually mix of two colours

CLASSIC KITCHENS

Framed sections

High cornice + pillars
