What to consider when redesigning your kitchen
Last Updated on October 19, 2022
Your kitchen may not always work for you in the way it was initially configured. With many people working from home more often, you may want a breakfast bar that will give you a bit more workspace. Maybe you have got a new pet and want to build in a designated utility area. Perhaps you are knocking down a wall to make it open plan. Or, the layout may just be all wrong for cooking and entertaining.
Whatever your reason for redesigning your kitchen, we have the solution for you and can offer you advice using the benefit of our years of experience every step of the way.
Changing the layout of your kitchen
If you are giving your kitchen a complete redesign and changing its entire configuration, then our custom worktop builder may well be the tool you need. Pick the material you want for your new worktop, be it oak, beech, ash, walnut or anything else. Then choose the closest size to what you need from our standard worktop dimensions.
Once you have selected these, you can then use our online tool to customise it to your exact specifications. Require a non-regular size? No problem. Want a radius corner? No problem. Need it oiling? No problem.
Just add it all to your wishlist, and the system will generate a price, click to order and let us do the rest.
Positioning of kitchen essentials
It may be that you need to move the kitchen sink or the hob and incorporate it into your new design. Our specialists can cut a hole for either of these to make it a seamless addition to your worktop, and can also add in notches for trailing cables too, so that they can be hidden out of the way, providing a streamlined and minimalist look.
By getting this done at the same time as the worktop is being built, you can be assured that the quality and craftsmanship will be finished to the same high standard as one of our worktops.
Aesthetics and durability
Of course, you want your worktop to look good and last a long time. Naturally, all of our worktops achieve both of these and more. But you also want it to fit with the style and decor of what you are trying to create. There is no point using an ultra-modern looking worktop in a rustic farmhouse kitchen. Likewise, having a worktop that looks great but serves no practical purpose in a heavily-used kitchen is equally futile.
Bear in mind what you are using your kitchen for, by whom it is being used, and the style of the surroundings in which it sits, and choose a worktop material that will stand the test of time.
