A beautifully designed kitchen is a great place to socialise and cook up a storm for family and friends.
Choosing the look, the appliances and layout is fundamental to making the kitchen a functional workplace.
The Kitchen Bathroom Design Institute recently held the annual design awards – check out the top winners.
When undertaking a professional designer you will need to work out the orientation of the kitchen to the rest of the home, physical restrictions and safety (access to benches, people moving through), the type of cooking you do – roasts, stir fry, and the number of appliances you might use. And budget.
