You’ve Chosen Your Freestanding Kitchen Cabinetry, What’s Next?
When you’re designing a freestanding kitchen your thoughts will first fall to the cabinetry as this provides the jewel in the crown of your new cookspace. However, it’s prudent not to forget the other crucial elements of your new freestanding kitchen. Finishing is an extremely important part of the process, and will give ultimate satisfaction when done right. Before finalising your kitchen design, make sure you have considered…
Flooring
Whether you’re looking for practicality or haute design, natural stone, wood or any of the thousands of manmade options available, your kitchen flooring will be an important element to consider when designing a new culinary space. Porcelain tiles can be artful and beautiful but are perhaps not practical for a growing family, whilst real oak is supremely beautiful but perhaps not within everyone’s price range. When considering flooring consider the versatility, the cost, the maintenance and how easy it is to replace if damage occurs.
Lighting
Cleverly planned illumination brings your kitchen out of the shadows and invites it to take centrestage. From pendant light to LEDs, countertop illumination and everything in between, if you find a versatile lighting scheme to deliver the right brightness when and where you need it, it can elevate your kitchen to the next level.
Worktops
As with kitchen flooring, choosing a kitchen worktop is a big decision and will ultimately bring your kitchen together. With freestanding kitchen units the need for a long length of worktop is diminished, saving you cost and freeing up the space in between. Our kitchen countertop options offer something for everyone so have a browse and start thinking about what you would like to sit atop your kitchen cabinets; wood or stone or something else?
Splashbacks
Each of our freestanding kitchen elements already comes complete with an upstand in the same material you’ve chosen for your worktop, but if you choose additional splashbacks they provide a focus point and can add an injection of colour and verve to your culinary space. Get creative and arrange your tiles in an eye-catching design or make a style statement with laminate or glass splashbacks. The best kitchen splashback is one that complements your kitchen design and is suited to your personal lifestyle needs.
Colour Scheme
When designing your kitchen, the colour of your cabinetry should be one of the first decisions you make and everything else will fall into place. Traditionally, kitchen cabinets can take up approximately 40% of the kitchen’s visual space so it is shrewd to use this at the foundation for other colour choices. With a freestanding kitchen, you are relinquished from the restraints of a fitted kitchen and so you can mix and match your colour options, get creative and design a kitchen which truly reflects your character.
Kitchen Wall Colour
The colour of kitchen walls is quite often an overlooked stage when designing a new kitchen. Whether you choose a bold statement colour or a more muted palette to let your cabinets provide the colour pop, wall colour plays an important role in providing the mood and feel of a kitchen space.
Kitchen Hardware
Choosing the colour and style of your handles, taps, light fixings and hinges will provide the icing on the cake for your completed kitchen design. Choose a style to suit your cabinetry and work with your kitchen designer to create an individual look to be proud of. Whilst not perhaps the most exciting aspect of kitchen design, choosing your fixtures and fittings will ultimately bring your kitchen together and make it feel complete.
Your kitchen starts with you
Throughout every stage of the process, make sure you listen to your inner voice and don’t be swayed by the opinions of others. Your kitchen should reflect YOU and no one else. It should fit with your personality and lifestyle and reflect the needs of your family. Here at Crusoe Kitchens we consciously work on liberating the ideas of our clients to ensure that they feel heard, understood, and have an overarching feeling of satisfaction once their kitchen is completed.
