  • Appliances are a massive part of a kitchens design and function, so having a list of those which must be included is very helpful when considering your options.
  • Familiarise yourself with some of the basic kitchen shapes and styles.
  • Consider your budget…..That dreamy granite might just be an option.
  • While it’s not essential, having the room roughly measured out is always a great help, as it will get things moving even faster.
  • You don’t want to leave anything out so write a list of all your own ideas and questions at this early stage.
  • Now the most important part……..Your designer…You have to go with your gut when choosing your designer, but finding a good designer who you can communicate well with, will prove invaluable. A good designer will be service driven, not sales driven.
