Decorating a kitchen can be a very personal experience. However, there are certain dos and don’ts that can help you pull off a successful and attractive kitchen design. Let’s look at some common dos and don’ts for decorating your kitchen.
Do Consider the Family
The kitchen is becoming a hub for the entire family. Kids may do homework, guests may gather, and everyone takes a part in cooking. Consider the entire family throughout the decorating and renovating process. If you all have different tastes, then speak with your designer on how to mesh these tastes into one attractive space.
Don’t Forget Storage
Storage is one of the most important parts of a kitchen, because you need room for dishware, pots, food storage, and so many other popular kitchen items. Cabinetry is one of the best ways to add storage into your kitchen. Your renovation designer can also help you find unique types of storage, such as hidden storage and built-in options.
Do Look Toward the Future
It is important to always look toward the future when decorating any area of your home. It is okay to hang onto a few personal, sentimental items. However, you do not want to become stuck in a decorating scheme from decades past. This will only age your kitchen, and it will clash with other, trendier areas of your home.
Don’t Stick to the Triangle
The kitchen triangle—the refrigerator, sink, and stove all within a triangular shape—was a popular design method back in the 1950s. This philosophy took advantage of minimal space and maximized access to cabinetry. This type of design has since become outdated. Now, kitchens are much larger and specific stations make more sense. If you love the working triangle, however, then consider other ways to take advantage of a large kitchen.
