Big Style Kitchens

Invest in great appliances. It is always important to select and purchase your appliances before beginning the design process in the kitchen. As the space is designed around the appliances, you must know the dimensions of your fridge, stove, and dishwasher before you can begin. Be sensible with selecting the sizes and buy practical appliances that fit your lifestyle. Appliances complete the look of your kitchen and quality is a must to ensure that they last several years for you and your family to enjoy.

Cover your appliances with the same finishes as your cabinets. This will create flow and unity in your kitchen.

Install a minimum of two glass doors for the upper cabinets; these can be placed in the corners or next to the range hood. By installing glass doors, you can use your best dishes or crystal glassware to accessorize your kitchen.

If the space allows, install a centralized island. An island will help create better functionality by giving you extra preparation area and extra storage space. It also adds bonus gathering and eating space for your guests.

Functionality is key, and there is nothing worse than a beautiful kitchen that is not functional. Account for all the preparation, cooking, and storage areas properly and design the kitchen around your specific wants and needs.

Lighting is also extremely important when designing a kitchen. Try to make use of both natural and artificial lighting in this space. Combine general lighting with task lighting in well-used areas. Consider accenting the island with decorative fixtures or installing under cabinet lighting above the counter space. Dimmers can also be installed to set the mood for entertaining.
