Factors to consider when designing kitchen floor plan

How should your new kitchen look like? What makes a kitchen perfect for your family? When you’re building a custom kitchen, these questions must be answered first before you even contact a kitchen designer. Designing a kitchen floor plan is often a complex task but it should be designed in a way that suits your needs now and in the future too. You must consider these three factors for creating a personalized space plan and a user-friendly kitchen for your family:

Function – Triangle vs. Workstation: For efficient movement in a kitchen, stove, refrigerator, and sink are placed in a triangular fashion. If your kitchen has small space, then the triangle layout will work for your kitchen. For bigger kitchens, workstation layout works better wherein each standard station is designed around a major appliance.
 

Budget: The cost of remodeling a kitchen can be astronomical unless you begin with a firm budget. Set a maximum budget for the crucial elements of your kitchen including cabinets, countertop, and flooring while designing floor plan with your kitchen designer. This will prevent you going beyond your set budget.
Style Preference: Some homeowners embrace the more closed-off kitchen layout, but these days’ new kitchen designs reveal a different approach – open-concept kitchen. You can get creative with both kitchen layouts but you need to select the kitchen design that is budget-friendly and meets your family needs.

Off course, aesthetics are important for your kitchen, but function is even more important. Consider these three factors while designing kitchen floor plan with a kitchen designer so that you can maintain a balance between aesthetical design and functionality.
