With an extensive portfolio in home renovation and design-build projects, we’ve garnered a rich understanding of transforming spaces, particularly the kitchen, into functional and visually captivating areas. 

Keep reading for some of our essential tips on how to design your kitchen interior and blend functionality with your own personal style.

Use Your Space Effectively 

The heart of your home, the kitchen, should promote effortless movement and a smooth transition from one task to the next. 

The classic "work triangle" concept, placing the sink, stove, and refrigerator in a triangular layout, minimizes the walking distance between these critical points, boosting workflow efficiency. Incorporating kitchen islands or breakfast bars can provide additional prep space and serve as casual dining areas, further optimizing the use of space.

Lighting: A Game Changer

Lighting is a key element that affects both the functionality and ambiance of your kitchen. 

Well-placed windows can maximize natural light to create a warm, inviting feel, and internal lighting is crucial for those cloudy days and late-night cooking sessions. Adopt a layered lighting strategy—ambient lighting for general illumination, task lighting for specific work areas, and accent lighting to highlight design features or architectural elements.

“Top designers recommend layering your kitchen lighting. Combine recessed, pendant and undercabinet lighting. Install dimmer switches to allow flexibility to set your desired mood.” - Heather Greentree, kul grilles Sales Account Specialist. 

Smart Storage Solutions

Maintaining a clean, clutter-free kitchen is a breeze with efficient storage solutions.

Creative options like pull-out shelves, lazy susans, or vertical dividers keep your tools and utensils organized. Ensure that any frequently used items are easily accessible, while lesser-used items can find a home in higher cabinets or deeper storage areas.

Thoughtful Material Selection

The materials you choose can really define the look, feel, and durability of your kitchen. From countertops and cabinets to flooring and backsplashes, each contributes to the character of the space. Opt for materials that balance aesthetics, durability, and ease of maintenance.

Attention to Detail

Your kitchen's charm shines through the details—the drawer pulls, faucet style, and light switch covers. An often-forgotten detail like a stylish switch plate cover can add a modern finish to your kitchen design.

kül plates, our screwless wall plate light switch covers, offer a modern alternative to more traditional, dated switch cover designs. The magnetic faceplate system eliminates visible screws, achieving a clean, streamlined look that can subtly blend into or provide a bold contrast to your kitchen design, with a variety of hand-brushed, resilient powder coat paint, and anodized finishes available in five distinct color options.
