Designing your new kitchen

Whether your kitchen’s going to be the heart of your home or an improvement that’s going to wow prospective buyers, planning it out well is the first step.

Layout

Start by measuring up and making an accurate floor plan. If you’re having an extension or new build, your architect will be able to supply the necessary drawings with detailed measurements.

The kitchen layout you choose will depend on the amount of space you have, the position of existing power points, pipes in and out, windows and doors. Bear in mind that if you're ripping out existing units, you don't have to stick to the previous layout.

Make a rough sketch of how you would like the appliances, worktops and doors to be, noting any changes in services that may be necessary. Bear in mind that changing the location of services or structural features will add to the overall cost.

Play around with different combinations, until you have a design you're happy with that you can present to a kitchen planner.

As you go, think of your kitchen's functions and work these into zones in your plan: food preparation, cooking, serving and washing-up. Make sure each zone has enough worktop space, storage and all the appliances you’ll need to hand.

Lighting

Think about layering the lighting so that you have general and task lighting. Under-cupboard lighting is usually best for task lighting because it is well hidden and stops your shadow obscuring the worktop. The latest LED products have less heat output, which saves money and prevents cupboards and food becoming too warm. Using a continuous Contour LED strip or individual fittings of only two watts is an easy way to create practical and attractive lighting.
