Beautiful kitchens in a home can make all the difference to the perception people have about your home, so it makes sense to invest wisely in your kitchen design. With kitchens, you can often achieve a great look overall with the kitchen by spending on quality appliances. Cabinetry can often be where a lot of the expense and value of a kitchen is hidden due to the nature and the quality of the various ‘hidden’ componentry, and so to achieve a great look doesn’t necessarily require a big spending budget, although the longevity of a ‘more budget’ kitchen will be limited when compared to one crafted from quality finishes and components.

If you’re planning a home makeover, renovation, or a new build, you should ensure you spend a good portion of the available funds on the kitchen. Options open to you include the use of kitchen designers, or architects, or other specialist kitchen companies who will often create a bespoke (value based) kitchen that will be designed around your budget. For someone seeking more of a budget solution for their kitchen, there are plenty of competitive ‘flatpak’ style kitchen companies that can give you a great looking kitchen for a reasonable price.

The key with decision making around the home kitchen is understanding what you can afford to spend on the kitchen. There is no doubt that when selling a home, a kitchen is probably the most important room in the home (closely followed by the bathroom(s)) when it comes to impressing a prospect, therefore make the most of your decision making ability by shopping around for quality appliances, especially those that might be on sale, or closeout for perhaps dated models. And then choose well for other aspects, avoiding the cheapest option (if you’re a budget seller) and going with the best value you can obtain for your overall budget.

Custom Bespoke Kitchen Island Designs

Incorporating one of several custom bespoke kitchen island designs will add a new dimension to your kitchen, that you can honestly say ‘no-one else has got a kitchen island just like this’. The modern villa interior above contains a beautiful white kitchen with a long unique kitchen island, tap and sink, dining table and timber floor. Brightly lit from natural daylight through the vast windows, it has an open feel looking out onto lawn and a pool.

Having a kitchen with an island component adds a dimension that is not only practical and useful but is also often space saving at the same time. The old style of kitchen making, where the shape may have been a galley style of a U shape often resulted in closed in dead end spaces which were neither functional nor practical.

The island bench kitchen on the other hand allows flow through a kitchen from either end. An island creates additional work bench space which is often ‘not in the way’ and it also helps to create the ‘working triangle’ between cooking, refrigerator and sink by including usually either sink or cooking in the island component.

Another feature benefits island provide is the dining angle. Often a number of stools or seats can be placed on the other side of the island which creates a great ambiance as well as a potential social conversation aspect when cooking is being undertaken. Take a look through the gallery of images on this page and some of the styles of islands that are presented. Hopefully, it will give you some insights and ideas about your next home kitchen project.

Others prefer an even grander outdoors area and choose to make an extension of their home by having a living room or some other relaxing room opening out onto expansive decking areas with a covered area that is like a second kitchen away from the main kitchen.

Contemporary dream kitchens can be a stunning central part of many homes especially if they have custom kitchen cabinets installed. Remember the old song “…I’m always in the kitchen at parties…” states the obvious. People love kitchens. Its where food is prepared, food is cooked and sometimes even where food is consumed, and from time to time, its where people congregate to talk and chat. Kitchens are also for raiding late at night when you’ve got the munchies.

But above all, kitchens are where the soul of the home is created. It will inspire communication, sharing, love and joy. But a poor, dirty or old kitchen can be a sense of frustration. In many ways, you could think of the kitchen as an extension of your personality. The kitchens that are modern, look great and work great are like people who are fit, healthy and love life.

Interesting And Unique Kitchen Faucet Tapware

Kitchen Faucet Tapware showing an Ornate Iluminated Tap In Kitchen

The above image shows a stunning example of kitchen faucet tapware in this design and how it can highlight your kitchen sink. There wont be too many people around with a kitchen tap that illuminates. Choosing the right tap for your new kitchen or remodelled kitchen is often about matching aesthetics, price, quality, and features (although taps features may be limited).

Considering, a kitchen tap will possibly be the most seen piece of plumbing in your whole home, making the right decision is crucial. Consequently, it also therefore means you should spend as much as you can afford, buying quality before price. Designer taps are usually a lot more expensive, often have better made internal fittings, are also likely made of higher quality components, and have a ‘unique’ aspect to them that often makes them ‘one offs’.

Paying more for a well known brand name can be your assurance of quality and reliability, but at the end of the day, it really comes down to the overall look, and whether or not it will suit or match the overall kitchen style, design, your cabinet color and whether it matches your other kitchen hardware (handles, etc).

The last thing you need is kitchen hardware that clashes with your sink and tap. It is often for this reason, that many people rely on the services of professional kitchen designers that will create and plan your overall kitchen design based around your budget.

This stainless steel kitchen tap fits well in an all white kitchen.

The brushed stainless steel effect and matching water dispenser suit the color combinations of this kitchen superbly.

This contemporary streamlined tap adds an air of sophistication and simplicity to this kitchen design highlighted by the red splashback.

A high quality more traditional style kitchen tap ideally suited to an older property where traditional design styles and character features dominate.

Simple, functional, quality tapware. The type that would suit almost any kitchen design and yet will also stand the test of time and look just as great in ten years time.

More of a conventional looking style tap but with a design to provide a variety of ‘shower type’ water sprays.

This tap has a modern, contemporary almost minimalist type of look, especially with the tap control, but blends the rest of the design with an almost contradicting flexi-hose for practical use and with matching water dispenser tap.

This tap shouts ‘exclusivity’. No one else will have on like me. A quirky design that would fit any contemporary modern kitchen, and yet has easy to use functionality at the same time. A definite talking point and not a tap you would likely ever regret buying.

Another unique design in kitchen tapware. Almost resembling that of a bath faucet, this style of kitchen tap looks good in any kitchen and is also a centre-piece that should attract its fair deal of attention from your friends and visitors.
