A guide to choosing the right kitchen
This article explains about the various types of kitchens on offer, as well as a guide to choosing the right one for your home, plus various other useful tips. It compares modern and old fashioned designed kitchens and the benefits of each one.
White kitchens are a popular choice amongst many households, because they look clean, fresh and bright. They are ideal for those who like to keep their house tidy and clean at all times, as any spillages and other types of mess can be easily spotted and wiped up quickly. Having a white kitchen is also nice on those dark and gloomy days, as it can brighten up the house and improve your mood due to it reflecting any light.
Adding colour through the choice of accessories or appliances is a good idea if you wish to make the room more interesting. For example, you could have one wall or unit in bright red, with the rest of the kitchen in white and perhaps a grey or black granite surface for the units. The appliances and crockery could also be red, so it adds a nice dimension of colour without going overboard on too many different tones.
Country kitchensare also a well-liked design. They often look fairly rustic and old fashioned, so they have an old English charm about them, making them feel very homely and cosy. The cupboards are often made out of a light coloured wood with wickerwork baskets for storage, and a range of fruit and plants for decoration purposes. A country kitchen still can, however, have a more modern edge to it. Perhaps a shiny marble floor or dark granite worktops can finish the look and bring it up to date at the same time as keeping its old rustic charm. Photo frames and hanging pots can also add a country style to the room.
Some White kitchensin this design may also feature wood painted in this colour, including for all cupboards, tables and chairs. The room does not have to look plain though, as colour and character can be added through the choice of the right accessories. In older houses, dark coloured beams may be present on the ceiling, which adds to the old country kitchens charm once more. A chandelier or hanging light may complete the look and add an extra bit of class. Many kitchens with an old fashioned feel have their pots and pans on display to add additional character, while more modern designs go for a minimalistic look that keeps everything clean and fresh.
An island unit within the centre of a kitchen is a nice way to make use of the space and is a popular option for larger rooms. This may often feature a sink or table and chairs, and can be used as a dining area at the same time as chopping or other culinary tasks.
