The kitchen is the heart of today's modern home. We are spending more and more time in our kitchens, not only cooking but entertaining friends and family, doing homework, office work, coffee meetings and watching TV. Whether you want to install a new kitchen to increase the value of your home or just make your home more liveable for you and your family, renovating well, is critical.

So, we asked our kitchen designers for a few tips on what to think about when it comes to designing a modern kitchen space. Avoid the common pitfalls people make when planning a kitchen with the tips that follow.

01 Poor Design

At Kich our priority is always functionality. While there is no ideal kitchen shape as every home is different, it's important to plan out the fridge, sink and cook top in a way that works for your families individual needs.

02 No Storage

So many companies design you a kitchen that looks pretty but doesn't have the appliance storage you require. Poor storage often leads to devices being stored on bench tops and redesigns down the track.

03 Not Enough Lighting

Unlike most rooms in the house, you don't want the light in a kitchen to only come from above where you will cause a shadow. In a kitchen, you are better off having a light fall in front of you. Down lights above bench tops, hanging lighting and led light under cabinetry are all great options.

DID YOU KNOW? We come to you to help understand what you are aiming to achieve with your beautiful new kitchen.

04 Money Spent Poorly

When creating a kitchen, the stove is your statement piece. It is the most commonly used item and is always prominently on display. The best designers agree, if you were only to replace one item, make it the stove. It will make cooking more pleasurable and add the most value to your kitchen.

05 Cramped Food Pantry

Storage is everything in today's kitchen. With the ever growing supply of vitamins, supplements, condiments and other products it's important to plan your pantry's so that you can find things quickly and easily.

06 High or Low Benches

Avoid back ache and ensure your counter height is optimised for you. If you don't, your body will quickly let you know about your mistake. The standard bench height is 900 to 950 milimeters.

07 Insufficient Planning

If you're the social type or enjoy working in the kitchen, it will be imperative to ensure things like the island bench have enough clearance for your knees. We recommend an inset of 300 milimeters. Also, take into account each person will need about 600mm along the bench to sit comfortably.
