Where to start with your kitchen redesign

The kitchen is often described as the heart of the home, and with very good reason. Here at Bournemouth Constructions we know that it’s one of the most important rooms in any home and we want to do what we can to ensure you have a kitchen that you love cooking and spending time in.

But if you’re going to carry out a kitchen redesign in Bournemouth, Poole or Christchurch, where do you start and what do you need to consider?

A recent article for Homes & Gardens explored some of the best places to start if you are looking for inspiration for your kitchen refit.

While it might be tempting to start shopping for new tiles or picking out kitchen appliances, the best place to begin (according to kitchen design experts - and this is something that our experienced craftsmen agree with) is with your kitchen’s layout.

Begin by thinking about how you want to use the space in your kitchen. Do you have room for an open-plan kitchen-diner? Or are you a bit more limited and want to make the most of the space you have available to ensure you have all the prep space, storage and appliances you need?

Storage is, naturally, an important part of kitchen design, but remember that it can look good as well as be functional. In fact, one of the main reasons why kitchens can look cluttered is that the storage hasn’t been properly planned or designed. Avoid that mistake by getting our experienced kitchen designers to help you plan your kitchen storage to suit your needs.

Once you know roughly what you want where, you can turn your attention to some of the more aesthetic elements of your kitchen redesign. The floor is particularly important, as it is generally one of the largest decorative areas you have in your kitchen (aside from your walls). Choosing the right flooring is therefore really important.

Here at Bournemouth Constructions, our experienced team can not only give you advice to help you maximise the space available in your kitchen, but will also help you with the finish and design of your kitchen if you would like us to. We have years of experience in kitchen design and fitting, so tap into the expertise of our craftsmen to ensure you get the kitchen you’ve always dreamed of.

Of course, kitchens are a vital part of the home and this means that when you’re carrying out a kitchen remodel it can feel stressful.

An article for Real Homes recently noted that one of the best ways to minimise the stress you experience during this process is to work with professionals who can ensure the design and fitting of your kitchen runs smoothly.

This is where Bournemouth Constructions can help. We take great care with every aspect of each job we work on, whether that’s protecting the rest of your home from dust and mess while we refit a kitchen or helping you with the design process. We have many happy clients – you can see what many of them think of our services on our website and Checkatrade.
