kitchen design and renovation projects in Montreal and Laval.
Step 1: Define your available space
To create your new kitchen, start by determining the space you have available for this room. Your kitchen can be closed or open to the living area, depending on the layout of your home. Depending on the space you have available, you can consider different layouts. Linear shapes are more recommended for smaller spaces to avoid overloading the room. U-shaped kitchens or those with a central island are perfect for integrating into a large living room.
Step 2: Optimize your activity triangle
The activity triangle is the area connecting your cooking area, your cleaning area with the sink and dishwasher, and your storage area with your refrigerator. To avoid unnecessary trips back and forth and optimize your kitchen activity, it's advisable to keep the activity triangle as compact as possible.
Step 3: Choose the right materials
Choosing materials is a key step in designing a new kitchen. Materials impact the look and feel of your kitchen, as well as your budget. There are many different types of materials, both natural and engineered. Natural stone or marble countertops are very trendy and add a touch of luxury to your space. Wood is also popular for a warm, inviting look.
For your kitchen doors and cabinets, you can choose a lacquered finish for added shine and ease of maintenance. You can also opt for wooden cabinets if you want to create a
rustic kitchen . Your splashback can be identical to your worktop or you can choose a trendy tiled splashback.
Don't hesitate to consult our detailed
article on choosing materials for your kitchen. Finally, if you're on a tight budget, you can consider a kitchen refacing by changing only the fronts of your kitchen cabinets. This way, you get a new kitchen at a lower cost.
Step 4: Personalize your kitchen
Once you've decided on your layout and chosen materials, you can customize your kitchen to fit your interior design and lifestyle. Don't hesitate to add clever storage solutions to suit your needs, such as a spice rack, built-in recycling bins, or a cabinet for small appliances. You can also add under-cabinet lighting to add brightness and a modern touch to your space.
