The kitchen should be the most functional space in any home. It should contain the appliances and elements necessary for daily use and, at the same time, be a warm place to share moments with the family. When choosing kitchen furniture there are many things to take into account: space, functionality, ease of use, resistance, etc.
The kitchen is not a space that is stepped on once in a while. It is one of the most used spaces in a home. Keep in mind that you cook and eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. You can’t afford to choose a kitchen that looks great but then makes your life difficult. Let’s take a look at some tips to furnish your kitchen perfectly.
What type of furniture to use?
It is believed that the furniture should reach up to the ceiling. However, this will depend on the size of your kitchen, its height, and whether you will need storage or not.
In large kitchens, it will not be necessary, since you will have enough space for storage. On the other hand, if the kitchen is small and with low ceilings, it is advisable to bring them up to the ceiling, since you will make better use of all the space available.
Integrating appliances is a good option in kitchens where there is plenty of space or they are open to the living or dining room and you want to enjoy a unified and very aesthetic image. Keep in mind that, when choosing paneled appliances, they will lose volume.
Handle-less and push-pull opening cabinets will give a cleaner, sleeker look to the kitchen. In addition, without handles, you will avoid unnecessary bumps when you are moving around the kitchen. However, handles in the kitchen can help you give it a more traditional aesthetic
Materials and color when you furnish a kitchen
The choices of materials for cabinets and other kitchen furniture are many and very varied in price. Laminates, solid wood, and lacquer are some of them. Of course, there are better and more beautiful materials than others.
Within the available options and taking into account your budget, try to choose a resistant material, capable of withstanding continuous use. It should also be easy to maintain and clean. It should be able to withstand daily wear and tear. In an environment where food is prepared and eaten, you must have the best furniture to help prevent any type of problem.
Choosing the right color scheme will make the kitchen look warmer and more in line with the preferences of the whole family. If you have a small space, try to add white or light-colored furniture to bring more light. Bright colors highlighted in small details are also a good idea to give vitality to the space.
Be careful with choosing too bright colors, in the long run, you may get tired of them and stop liking them. You are going to have to see it day after day for a few years. Better be prudent and leave the audacity for other occasions or spaces.
