• When it comes to designing a new kitchen its
  best to leave it to the professionals. This is
  because their experience will help them make the
  most of the space.
• The object is to get the right balance of
  cupboards, work tops and ancillary furniture and
  yet leave enough space to move freely around
  preparing and cooking food.
• In commercial kitchens this is known as flow with
  the arrival of raw goods at one end and a smooth
  flow through storage into preparation area then
  cooking. After that the flow continues in the
  same direction out to the eating area and then
  dirty plates and cutlery back.

• The home kitchen doesnt have to be so structured
  but there should still be plenty of thought to
  prevent the need of running up mileage whilst
  preparing a meal.
• For this reason the island structure with hob in
  the middle is a popular design model as it allows
  the cook to stir or move pots from all four
  sides.
• An acquaintance had a new kitchen design Fulham
  west London in his new apartment and found a
  local specialised firm to complete the exercise.

• The professionalism impressed him and began with
  a free two hour discussion about the layout with
  his ideas and suggestions from the designer. The
  budget was agreed and that allowed for the choice
  of storage, worktops and appliances to be
  discussed.
• At a subsequent meeting the designer presented an
  illustrated initial design proposal with some
  bespoke CAD display. A couple of minor
  alterations were made and then the detailed quote
  given.
• This is not your average out of town DIY outfit
  and in fact once all the tiny details like
  preferred door knobs are agreed it takes a couple
  of months for the whole lot to be built.
• This is because its all made to measure by
  craftsmen in Scandinavia and the quality is
  second to none.

• The old kitchen had been thrown out and there
  were some plans to knock through a wall and
  incorporate the old dining room into the kitchen.
  The same company had the expertise to draw
  detailed service plans for new waste pipe, water
  supply and some electrical wiring and sockets.
• The fitting took four weeks and this included
  tiling and painting so the finished article
  looked like a stunning showroom.
• His first reaction was to continue eating out as
  he loved it so much that he darent risk a splash
  of any liquid on the new surfaces or floor. But
  eventually he started to make use of it all and
  achieve the object of the exercise which was to
  teach himself to be a better cook.

• Now he prepares and cooks like theres no
  tomorrow and every weekend some friends come to
  supper.
• Its amazing what a new top quality kitchen can
  do for you so check out your old existing one and
  now look through the online catalogue and see
  what you could be enjoying.
