Kitchen Design Guide

Kitchen Design Tips

1. 1
   Trace a meal through the existing layout

   Walk through taking food out, washing, preparing, and cooking. Note crossings and blocked surfaces, then test a proposed change with appliance doors open; a triangle alone does not establish a workable kitchen.
2. 2
   Compare cabinet and countertop samples together

   View actual finish samples beside the floor and in your kitchen lighting. Check the selected products for care, dimensions, and suitability before treating an AI combination as a purchase list.
3. 3
   Check light on the preparation surface

   Stand where you chop or read recipes and note shadows from your body and cabinets. Compare fixture positions, then verify the product and electrical installation requirements.
4. 4
   Test what open shelves would hold

   List the items and measure their height, depth, and reach position before replacing cabinets. Compare the lost enclosed storage and cleaning access with the display space you gain.
5. 5
   Keep fixed services visible in the plan

   Mark sockets, plumbing, ventilation, and appliance openings before comparing a backsplash or cabinet change. A generated relocation does not show that the real change can be built.
