Top 10 Elements for Designing Your Dream Kitchen

The perfect kitchen is one that finds a balance between beauty and function, trend and utility. At Jack Rosen Custom Kitchens, our team is here to help you achieve the kitchen of your dreams. In this article, we cover the 10 key elements that the best kitchens incorporate.

Clear Vision

Every kitchen needs a cohesive vision cultivated from magazines, online sources, personal preferences, and other influences to create an eye-catching and functional kitchen.

Good Workflow

Above all else, the kitchen is a place to work. As such, it is important to incorporate elements that facilitate the type of cooking you enjoy. This includes strategically placing countertops, incorporating wash and prep stations, building in coffee stations, double ovens, and other elements.

Adequate Storage

Every kitchen could use more storage. With custom cabinetry, you can create the ideal storage solutions. Our kitchen designers plan storage space strategically, ensuring that even the smallest kitchen can enjoy the benefits of additional storage for all your needs.

Effective Lighting

Lighting not only creates ambiance, but it also makes cooking easier and more enjoyable. Make sure to incorporate a variety of lighting for both style and functionality. Consider working recessed lighting, pendant lights, task lights, and more in your design. We will make your kitchen a comfortable, relaxing space to cook, relax, entertain guests, and more.

Clear Access

Efficient entry and egress are essential in the kitchen. Not only does it help ensure safety, but it also makes your kitchen more inviting and pleasant. To this end, clear access requires proper door sizing and positioning. It’s also important to ensure cabinets and countertops don’t impede doorways.

Proper Function

Adequate countertop space and the right appliances can make a considerable difference. In this regard, it is imperative to select countertops that are durable, placed at the appropriate height, and of sufficient length and depth to support cooking. Likewise, appliances should be sized for the types of foods you cook and to fit within the space.

Timeless Appeal

Trends evolve over time. That is why they are called trends, and what’s popular today may not be popular tomorrow. As such, it is important to design a balanced kitchen that fits your needs and that you will still enjoy years later.

Versatility

The kitchen is the heart of most homes. It’s a place where cooking is the priority, but it’s not the only purpose of the room. A good kitchen is versatile and can be used to enjoy afternoon snacks with your family, to conduct work, to entertain guests, and more.

Color Scheme

The most beautiful kitchens opt for a color design that incorporates one base color and one accent color. Too many colors can distract and create a disjointed appearance. Additionally, when choosing colors, brighter is almost always better. Bright colors create the illusion of a larger, more spacious room, which in turn can make your kitchen feel more comfortable.

A Good Design Team

The right design team is vital for creating the kitchen design you desire. When choosing your team, make sure to select a team with good communication, a reliable track record, and the skills necessary to deliver superior workmanship that ensures your kitchen is completed to the highest quality standards.
