When it comes to home renovation, few spaces have as much impact on daily life as the kitchen. Not only is it a place to prepare meals but it often serves as a central gathering area where family and friends can come together. At AIB Home Improvements, we understand the importance of creating a functional and stylish kitchen, blending innovative design with practicality. That’s why our in-house team takes great pride in providing clients across Ascot, Camberley and the nearby areas with bespoke kitchen design – from planning to installation, our attention to detail is second to none.
In this blog, we break down the key considerations to keep in mind when designing your dream kitchen. To learn more, please don’t hesitate to contact our team via telephone or email.
The layout of your kitchen is the foundation upon which everything else is built. All kitchen redesigns should be completed with efficiency and flow in mind, ensuring users can move seamlessly between tasks. A well-optimised kitchen layout can increase the ease of use, especially in busy households. Here, we discuss popular layouts and how they can benefit you.
Kitchen designers regularly use this time-tested approach to emphasise a clear path between the sink, stove, and refrigerator. Referred to as the “work triangle”, these 3 elements should form a triangle, effectively reducing the steps while cooking. However, you may find that slightly adjusting your kitchen's configuration – whether L-shaped, U-shaped, galley, or open-concept – better suits your space.
It’s essential to consider the size of your kitchen and make use of every inch available. With custom cabinetry, built-in shelving, and creative storage solutions, you can make even small kitchens functional and efficient. Our team specialises in bespoke kitchen design and customising cabinetry to fit unusual dimensions, ensuring no corner goes to waste.
Depending on your home’s architecture, consider whether you want an open-concept kitchen that integrates the living and dining spaces or a more traditional closed-off kitchen. An open layout provides an airy, spacious feel, ideal for entertaining, while a closed kitchen can help contain mess and smells. Our CAD kitchen design is useful for creating detailed illustrations and mock-ups for clients unsure of which style to choose.
Ensure there’s enough space for people to move comfortably, especially if more than one person will be working in the kitchen. The area between countertops should typically be 42 inches wide in a single-cook kitchen and 48 inches wide for multiple cooks. With our expert guidance, you can rest assured your kitchen will have a smooth traffic flow that allows uninterrupted cooking.
A kitchen can never have too much storage, and thoughtful design can positively affect your daily routines. Clients with poor storage solutions often find their countertops cluttered, hurting aesthetics, functionality, and peace of mind. But, not to worry – our range of solutions will have your kitchen organised and running at optimal performance in no time! Our kitchen redesigns include:
