Are you planning a house renovation project? If you are, the kitchen is one of the most important rooms to pay attention to. As home owners and families, we spend quite a lot of time in the kitchen preparing meals, eating, and even gathering friends and family. The kitchen is the hub of any home, so your new home design must include a kitchen that is both aesthetic and functional.

What’s the first thing you notice when you walk into a kitchen? The cabinetry, of course! Smart cabinetry design choices can completely transform the look and feel of a kitchen. 

Creating a comfortable, free-flowing, enjoyable, and homely kitchen is every home owner’s ideal outcome and at Urban Scene Construction we work with you to create a bespoke kitchen just for you.
 

So, let’s have a look at why cabinetry design is so important:

1. Affects Spaciousness 

As you spend a large part of your day in the kitchen, it’s key that you have a necessary amount of space to work within. The wrong cabinetry design can restrict space and flow. However, the right cabinetry design should allow movability, clear paths and functionality. Not to mention, there are many clever ways to make use of spaces such as: using undermount sinks, wall ovens, pull out pantries, adjustable shelving, an integrated dishwasher and fridges etc. So, don’t restrict cabinetry design – think outside the box and design the space efficiently.  

If there’s ample storage space in your kitchen, you’ll have enough space for all of the essentials and more. Hence, the room won’t feel overwhelmed or too crowded as you’ll have a space for everything. 
 

1. Provides Functionality

Another key segment of any kitchen is functionality. Luckily, if your house renovation company understands the latest home design trends, as our team does, your kitchen will provide great functionality. 

For instance, a truly functional kitchen should include a pull-out bin, a combination of doors and drawers, good quality soft close mechanisms, a sizeable pantry and a plate cupboard. The right cabinetry design, accessories, and storage units can make all the difference. 
 

1. Reflects Your Style

Last but not least, together with the benchtops and lighting fixtures, cabinetry design should reflect your overall kitchen style and home style. As we already mentioned, the first thing you notice when you enter a kitchen is the cabinetry. Therefore, you should make sure that the material, colour, and design of your cabinetry reflects your style and works well with the rest of your home design. 

So, if you prefer more traditional designs, you may want to go for 2-pack shakers doors for that Hamptons feel.  On the other hand, if you like to follow modern trends, you might opt for a combination of texutures like laminates and timber veneers. Plus, you can always add an extra touch by playing with glass doors, mirrored splashbacks and stone benchtops, there a many materials that can be considered when creating your ideal kitchen.
 

Cabinetry design and flow is the first thing you should consider when renovating your kitchen. Your cabinetry sets the tone for the rest of the kitchen. Whether it be a complete house renovation project or a simple refresh to your existing home design, Urban Scene Construction can answer any of your questions to ensure you get the best results possible.
