The kitchen is one of the central rooms of the home. It's often a multifunctional space where your whole family gathers and shares moments of conviviality. Discover all our tips for creating a kitchen that reflects your personality and makes your daily life easier.
Tip #1: Choose a kitchen shape that fits your space
The layout of your kitchen should be adapted to the space you have available. It shouldn't be too small or too large for your room. By choosing the right kitchen design, you can optimize your space and create a functional kitchen.
There are several different kitchen layouts, and our Rêve Cuisine consultants will help you find the ideal layout for your
custom kitchen or kitchen renovation in Laval. The I-shaped kitchen, also known as a linear kitchen, is perfect if you have a small space. It's particularly suited to kitchens that open to the living room, and all your kitchen elements are grouped on a single wall.
If you have more space, you can opt for a parallel kitchen. This doubles the available surface area by creating a second layout opposite the first. By choosing a U-shaped kitchen layout, you benefit from a more compact activity triangle that allows you to save time. Finally, the L-shaped kitchen is particularly trendy. It allows you to create corners or add a central island to expand your work surface.
Tip #2: Optimize the activity triangle
To enjoy an optimized and user-friendly kitchen, you should not neglect the activity triangle. The activity triangle allows you to properly organize your space and layout in order to minimize the distances between the three key areas of a kitchen:
- storage space (fridge),
- the cooking area (oven and hotplates),
- water points (sink and dishwasher).
By creating the most compact activity triangle possible, you avoid unnecessary travel while cooking and save time in your preparations. Our Rêve Cuisine consultants are at your side to offer optimal design solutions for your
kitchen renovations and custom kitchens in Montreal.
Tip #3: A bright kitchen
A pleasant kitchen is, above all, a bright kitchen. There are several solutions for bringing light into your space. You can choose Laval kitchen cabinets with integrated lighting. When designing a custom kitchen, you can also consider adding a new window or installing a glass roof. The latter opens up your space, brings in light, and makes small kitchens appear larger.
Tip #4: Create your project in 3D
Kitchen design also involves 3D design. In our Rêve Cuisine showroom, we create your project in 3D together. This study helps you visualize your future kitchen. Whether you're creating a
