No matter how many times a person has had a new home built, one of the most time-consuming tasks is deciding how to design the kitchen. From floating shelves to custom designed cabinetry, there are many ways to design a kitchen so that it meets all of a family's needs. Here's a quick look at the top tips to keep in mind in relation to kitchen design concord in Concord.

The more cabinets, the better

Cabinets are meant for storage, meaning the more a homeowner has, the more storage space there will be. Even if there are more than enough cabinets to hold the homeowner's kitchen supplies, these cabinets can be used for other storage, including office stationary, First Aid kits, and more. Ideally, to get the most cabinet space as possible without cluttering the kitchen, a homowner will want to have cabinets that go to the ceiling as well as ones that are made into a kitchen island. With island cabinets a homeowner also adds the advantage of adding optimal countertop space to the kitchen.

Separate the kitchen from the eating area

If possible, it's best to separate the kitchen from the eating area. In doing this, it declutters the parts of the kitchen that is meant to be used for:

• Cooking

• Cleaning

• Preparing food

A great way to separate the kitchen and eating area is to have an island in the center of the room with bar stools along the side that sits farthest away from the stove and sink. This way, when people eat at the island, they won't be in the way of the person cooking and cleaning. Plus, a island is great for adding extra seating to smaller-sized kitchens.

Include a dishwasher

Believe it or not, there are many new homes these days that are still being built without a dishwasher. It's not so much that homeowners prefer not to have them, it's just that the appliance gets overlooked during the design process. This is why it's so important to remember to include one. With a dishwasher comes a cleaner kitchen, and with a cleaner kitchen comes a happier family.
