A kitchen that works
Choosing where to install your appliances is extremely important. Good kitchen planning is heavily dependent on ergonomics and not just how good something looks beside the window. The 'Work Triangle' is very important. This is the distance between the cooking and food preparation area, sink and fridge. The idea is to keep this distance small so that you don't have to walk too far when you're cooking. This is an exellent starting point when planning your kitchen layout. Also, consider where your existing electrical and plumbing points are and consider if you would be prepared to change them to accommodate a new kitchen layout.
Choose a kitchen supplier who will also install your kitchen.
Choosing your kitchen from a reputable and well establised company who will also install your kitchen for you takes a huge worry out of this new venture. Having the one point of contact from start to finish ensures that your input is heard every step of the way and delays in the installation of your new kitchen are avoided between purchasing the kitchen and arranging a kitchen fitter to install it.
