The kitchen of our day has long since gone out of its traditional pattern, a room used only for the preparation and serving of food. Today, for most of us, the kitchen is a place of relaxation and socialization. Here we get our friends to coffee to tell the news, here we can refresh for a few minutes to put our minds in order, prepare the plan for next day, and here we read our favorite magazine as we enjoy our tea. In other words, this space has become so loved by every member of the family and those close to the house that it can almost be called “the smallest living room” in real competition with the living room, which is why it must provide comfort and functionality, beyond the pleasant environment.
Even if some norms are set in theory as to the positioning of the standard functions of any kitchen, in reality the ideal shape of a kitchen will always be established only with the beneficiaries, depending on their daily way of living, needs and preferences. Essential, therefore, is the efficient and personalized handling of space, from project to project, from customer to client. For each of us there is a unique and very personalized “perfect” that we must always take into account for the success of arrangement.
From a technical and functional point of view, the perfection of a kitchen stems from the harmonization of the daily habits of the beneficiaries with the furniture design. Complying with a consistent flow of culinary operations, storage spaces tailored to the size and real needs, choosing the most suitable range of home appliances are just a few aspects that should be taken into account from the beginning of the design project. The kitchen countertop is an important element in this arrangement. Its choice depends on how much kitchen is used for cooking, but also how well it will integrate into the design of the room without omitting the budget that can be allocated.
Rolled countertops are an affordable solution that looks good in any kitchen due to the wide variety of models available on the market. They are easy to clean and maintain, sufficiently resistant to impact or high temperature and humidity.
Noble countertops made of natural materials will always remain the first choice, especially in classical designs, and their higher price makes them less accessible to common projects. Also, the material chosen for the manufacture of the fronts will bring a consistent differentiating note in both the aesthetic aspect and the final price of the kitchen.
A ceramic plating for the area over the worktop, with a unique, colorful design, a more atypical floor, attractive texture or graphics, or even a simple wardrobe with refined or completely unexpected details, a more atypical luminaire can give the kitchen a special air, perfectly adapted to the personality of the beneficiaries.
The color chosen for flooring, walls and furniture is another important detail in any design project, ideal for the result to be in harmony with the atmosphere in the home and the energy of family members. This visual unification of all surfaces, fluidly and harmoniously, can be achieved either by using a range of related colors, varying only their nuances and intensity, either by using a neutral, beige, gray or white chrome in combination with strong accents, vivid, bold, and personality accents. The second option allows to highlight some design details, chromatic balance with the rest of the dwelling or simply to get an atmosphere of joy and good mood for those dynamic and expressive families.
Taking into account all these aesthetic and functional recommendations, perfect kitchen design should be, first and foremost, a process of self-knowledge by the beneficiaries, lifestyle analysis and their preferences, reminding us all the time that
remembering at all times that my “perfect” is not necessarily your “perfect” too.
The process itself is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance if it goes on its way knowing the concrete desires from this space as well as the existing pluses or minuses for its permanent use as well as general ambient, considering that we mean the kitchen – the heart in which every family lives every day.. In this way, the time spent will be appreciated by every individual, from small to large, beneficiaries or just guests, alike, for any of them the perfection of the arrangement with different connotations.
