Kitchen design: ideas for your home

Nowadays, kitchens are much more than just a boring room for cooking. We want to feel comfortable, want to relax and at the same time want to spend time with the family. The demands placed on the room are now slightly higher than they were a few decades ago. The heart of the house must be functional in everyday life and a dream destination at the weekend. The perfect furnishings, tailored to individual needs, and making the most of the available space are therefore essential. In our blog, we explain a few tips for the kitchen that will help you get the most out of it. Don't make any compromises in your cooking oasis - we'll help you!

Organize your kitchen with the right furniture

Setting up a kitchen properly isn't that difficult. It all starts with a plan before you start anything. Think about what you need and how often, and which tasks you need to do all the time. Reaching for a plate, going to the coffee machine, using pots and pans - these are all everyday things that become easier with good organization. The key to this is a kitchen with storage space. For example, if you drink freshly squeezed orange juice every day, it's smart to leave the juicer outside. Do you only need the toaster at the weekend? Then put it in the cupboard. Nobody wants all the work surfaces to be full. Drawers and cupboards can also be divided up well with inserts and mini shelves so that you can use the space optimally.

The kitchen island as a social centre

The classic fitted kitchen is usually L-shaped or U-shaped. The disadvantage of these kitchen shapes? When you have guests, you usually have your back to them. This makes in-depth conversations more difficult and you feel like you are constantly being watched. Our tip: The modern kitchen should have a cooking island that takes up the middle of the room. You can receive your guests there and while you are standing at the stove, your guests can stand on the other side, watch you, talk to you and still look you in the eye. This creates a much more relaxed conversation situation and you will perceive the kitchen as a place where you feel comfortable.

The right combination of colour and material

You will certainly prepare one or two culinary delights in your kitchen, but you need to relax to do so. As furniture professionals, we know how much depends on the feeling of well-being and the right atmosphere in the room. An important aspect of the right mood: the combination of color and material. Find the right style that pleases your eye. For example, use lighter colors such as white or beige to give the room a sense of size. A bright and friendly atmosphere lifts your mood in seconds every morning! Natural materials such as stone or wood bring their natural charm to your gourmet workshop. Feel free to combine different textures to create variety for the senses. For example, a wooden kitchen with a stone worktop looks simply phenomenal!

Interior design ideas: Decorate your kitchen with plants & lights

Dark colors and lots of utensils can quickly make the kitchen look cramped and oppressive. Now that we've discussed the color and storage space, let's turn to the right decoration. Too much decoration isn't good for a kitchen either, but you can set great accents with just a few pieces. First and foremost, we recommend one or two plants that you place on an open shelf. Hanging plants like the ivy plant on the corner of a kitchen cupboard are also particularly suitable. For the cupboards, choose small, easy-care plants so that you don't have too much work with them. If you have the space on the floor, a larger plant like a monstera, a peace lily or a yucca palm is also suitable. Dimmable ceiling lights are also a good option, with which you can create the right atmosphere at any time.
