Deciding on the layout and the design of your kitchen can be a challenge because we all know how important a kitchen is for any home. The role of a kitchen is no longer just a place to prepare food but also a social place where you and your loved ones can spend quality time together. So, it is pretty important to decide on how you're going to layout and design your kitchen space. But worry not! We are here to guide you and point out the things you should not miss when building a kitchen. 

1. Decide on the layout 

There are many layouts for kitchens, but typically there are the I type, the L type, the U type, or kitchens with an island.  The I type is usually used for limited spaces such as studio apartments because it only uses one side of the room, and all kitchen appliances will be installed on the same side. While the L and the U types are typically used for homes with more space, these types of kitchens are great if you live with your family and need space to accommodate more people! You can even add an island in the middle for an area to prepare your food. 

2. Decide on the kitchen style 

Now, this usually follows your home's aesthetics, if you have a modern minimalistic home, then definitely opt for a design with neutral colors and simple cabinets. For example, you can choose monochrome colors, or add some wooden and earthy tones that are still neutral but will add more life and color to the space. Or if you're more of a classic kind of person, then go for a classic contemporary. This style has all you need; it has the classic timeless lines but still with a modern twist.    

3. List down the things you need 

It is important to identify the things you want to put in your kitchen. Will you need a cooker hood? A microwave oven? What type of cooker will you have? Because they all play an important role in designing a kitchen. Will you need a cooking and cleaning agent? What kind of kitchen supplies do you need? And how are you going to store all of them? These are the questions you need to ask yourself while building your kitchen.
