Kitchens – the heart of the home

How do you view your kitchen? Is it merely a functional necessity or is it a warm, welcoming place that unites the family? Or maybe it’s a high-tech palace, fitted with the most expensive equipment on the market?

Well, if the first description is the one that best describes your domestic circumstances then maybe it’s about time that you thought again about what a first class kitchen could do for your home.

The worst do little more than cram all the necessary household gadgets into what space there is, but a well-designed, ergonomic kitchen is a living, practical work of art.

In recent years there has been a rush to embrace the chilly delights of stainless steel, but whether you favour a space that could double as an operating theatre, or prefer the homely aura created by a more traditional wooden farmhouse-style kitchen, complete with a huge gingham or chintz-covered dining table and a well-fed Labrador in a basket, a professional kitchen designer can deliver your dream.

When creating the perfect kitchen you will need to think about more than the basic look, though. Details like height of sinks, working surfaces and the placement of cupboards can all have a profound and lasting effect on whether you embrace the time that you spend there or can’t wait to return to the comfort of your living room.

When it comes to ergonomic kitchen design, there are no rights and wrongs, no absolutes. What matters is that your kitchen should be planned with you in mind, so certain heights, depths, widths and clearances need to be observed. The best ergonomic kitchens offer an environment that considers the exact movements of the person using the kitchen, whether preparing food, cooking or cleaning. Situating cupboards high on the wall might be aesthetically pleasing, but if the person using them is short, chaos can ensue.

The best kitchens combine imagination and practicality while still looking good.
