Mistakes To Avoid When Buying A Kitchen Extension
Crystal Clear is very well known for its wide range of windows, doors, conservatories, orangeries. However, some people aren’t aware that we also specialise in kitchen extensions.
The kitchen is now the hub of most homes and no longer just a place for cooking, being more multi-purpose than that. Many families like this socialise together in theirs, much like they previously would in their lounge.
If this kind of lifestyle appeals to you, but your existing kitchen can’t cater for it, growing the space with a kitchen extension could be the way forward.
Just be careful that you don’t make any mistakes with its design. These are the types of mistakes you want to avoid.
Insufficient worktop space
When cooking is a major hobby of yours, you need all of the worktop space you can get so that you have enough space for all those cooking utensils required to make some yummy grub.
Just imagine how nightmarish it would be if you ended up with a kitchen with a shortage of worktops. It’d completely scupper your culinary desires.
Plan it all carefully with the designer to ensure this doesn’t happen. They will also do things like arrange for suitably-sized worktops to be installed for the kitchen’s dimensions.
Insufficient lighting
To cook at night, you also need adequate lighting or how else are you supposed to do your take on a Nigella special? It’s at night that you’ll also be most likely to congregate as a family in the kitchen.
We can organise lighting for your new kitchen that makes it feel extra spacious.
It could involve installing task lighting close to your kitchen sink or hob, or if you have a dinner table in there, you’re probably going to need some mood or accent lighting.
Appliances that don’t fit into the layout
Appliances are one of the most important things in any kitchen e.g. fridge, oven, dishwasher, microwave, freezer.
These appliances need to be taken into account when your kitchen extension is being designed as you want them to fit within the layout and not be over-sized.
If everything is measured up first, including the kitchen itself and the appliances that you want to sit within it, this shouldn’t end up being a problem and your appliances should fit in seamlessly.
