PLAN THE KITCHEN SPACE THE TRICK
• when you plan the kitchen space the trick is to tailor it to the way you live this kitchen is part of a 1,400 square foot open-concept bungalow that builder Dave depends errs building in the quaint town of Dresden Ontario for this kitchen. we've already established that we have an l-shaped layout with a free-standing island. so we've come to Home Hardware building center to pick the appliances and have her kitchen plans drawn up so we plugged in everything that we have into the 2020 kitchen design software perfect I just need to know the sizes for the appliances to make this all come to life. It can get very costly if you make changes after things are roughed in as well as after things are ordered. so it's very important to have all the proper specs and make sure that all that is designed incorporated properly. I think this is the one I kind of like the most I agree in fridge you happy with this yeah good size yep good size got lots of compartments outside double drawer lots of room in there all your french fries Dave. Now that I know the sizes for the appliances I can put those in over the stove I'll leave space for a custom range hood okay perfect based on the fridge that you've selected I can do a custom cabinetry over the fridge great that will fit in just seamlessly. • we've been to the site we've done our measurements that dictates a lot of how I work around those on the cabinet end seeing the kitchen drown out on the subfloor helps you get an idea of what would fit where and how the space would flow but for planning cabinetry it needs to be measured exactly. what I like to do is have the home installs people come out of the framing stage that way they can get exact measurements of what's going to be needed to design and finish off the kitchen. now I'm put the bases in and I'm start around the sink because we want to make sure that that gets under the window perfect having the kitchen drawn up professionally is the way to go having that on site it becomes the document. That we use for everything from start to finish the kitchen design consists of a floor plan elevations of each wall showing exact dimensions for the installers or even cabinet builders.
• If you have any custom cabinets being made kitchen perspective plus our kitchen designs include a material list or during the cabinetry crown molding or any finishing touches the three most used kitchen areas are the sink a refrigerator and the stove and you should also include the main workspace. These areas represent the most traveled path you should always allow at least 18 to 36 inches of countertop space on both sides of the sink for cleanup and other messes having a countertop. surface beside the fridge is a must at least an area 15 to 24 inches works well I brought you some images of what I was thinking for the islands. whenever you're designing a kitchen it's important to bring in any ideas that you have whether it's inspiration photographs a plan that way it gives our staff something to start planning off of. • what we've done before is put uppers on legs to raise them off the ground and that gives it the same style that'll match the rest of the kitchen but a very furniture look Homular Kitchen is going to be visible from all areas of the room so I want to find some solutions that would help conceal the daily mess I wanted to incorporate to pantries to bookend the kitchen also on the wish list in apron sink hopefully a double apron sink. if you can make that work yeah using your ideas and a blueprint we can put together the kitchen design one of the biggest things. we're being asked for today is the addition of a sliding pot drawer that's best located near your cooktop another big one is LED strip lighting everybody seems to want these under the cabinet. so now that we have everything together I can show you the perspective look yeah a ton of storage looks fantastic I like how the island.
