2. DESIGN

3. The Kitchen Design Process The design process is broken down into two separate and often conflicting elements FUNCTION v AESTHETICS

4. FUNCTION Step.1Needs Analysis Your brief to the designer will determine how succesful your kitchen is Step.2Space Limitations Can you move / remove walls, extend out, change rooms? Step.3Use zonal principles Building blocks / template for starting your layout Step.4Balance with aesthetics All best designs are a compromise between function & aesthetics

5. AESTHETICS There are three distinct styles in kitchen design and your preference will determine what design rules you apply. CONTEMPORARY HYBRID CLASSIC

6. CONTEMPORARY KITCHENS Horizontal emphasis Blend with structure Key Principles Eliminate wall cabinets

7. HYBRID KITCHENS Key Principles Solid wood / painted doors This style is particularly suited to older houses that want a fresh / modern Kitchen but are afraid a full-on contemporary design would look wrong. No cornice, pelmet or pillars Usually mix of two colours

8. CLASSIC KITCHENS Vertical emphasis Framed sections Key Principles High cornice + pillars
