What should you look out for when choosing a new kitchen?

A beautiful kitchen to suit your taste

Whether you like a modern, sleek look with minimalist elements. Or instead a classic kitchen with warm wood accents. There are plenty of styles to choose from. Also look carefully at the colour scheme and materials. A kitchen should match the rest of your interior. Shiny beautiful kitchens in high-gloss white fit well in modern homes. Country kitchens with wooden details exude a cosy atmosphere. Don't forget that a beautiful kitchen should also be functional. So choose not only based on aesthetics but also on practicality.

Calculating the cost of a new kitchen

A new kitchen can be a hefty expense. So it is important to have a clear idea of the cost beforehand. The price of a kitchen depends on several factors, such as:

• The size

• The materials used

• The equipment

First, make a list of what you need. From cabinets to appliances such as a fridge, oven and dishwasher. This will allow you to search more specifically and know better what to expect. Some people choose to install part of the kitchen themselves to save costs.

Functionality: a practical layout

Besides the look and calculating the new kitchen cost, it is crucial to pay attention to the functionality of your new kitchen. Think about how you want to use the space. But also what layout will suit this. The triangle between the fridge, hob and sink plays an important role here. Will you go for an efficient layout? This will allow you to work smoothly. Without having to go back and forth unnecessarily. Also consider how much storage space you need and where you want to put the appliances. Think about practical details like drawers for cutlery and pans and the height of the worktop.

Sustainability and choice of materials

When choosing materials, it is not only important to look at appearance. You should also look at durability. Some materials, such as granite and composite, are durable and resistant to scratches and heat.
