You should think carefully about what you want from your dream kitchen, what characteristics are important to you - and what you can bring to this relationship. Answer the following eight questions and you'll already have clearer ideas:
1. How much space do you have available? Measure carefully.
2. How is the room cut? Hosey, open, square?
3. Are there windows? If so, you might consider placing the sink under the window. After all, what could be better than enjoying a nice view while doing the dishes?
4. Do you want a dining area in the kitchen? If so, that may reduce the length of the kitchen counter.
5. What does your cooking routine look like? For example, do you need a lot of space to roll out dough, are you more of a vegetable chopper, or do you cook in a food processor? Your cooking habits and your cooking equipment also influence how much storage space you need in the kitchen, or how much space you may need to create in the living room or basement for one or two kitchen appliances.
6. How tall are you? There are ergonomic kitchens specifically for people taller than 1.80 meters. But the selection of accessible kitchens has also grown in recent years.
7. Which interior design style suits you? Did you fall for that one country kitchen years ago? Or have you been flirting for quite some time with a modern high-gloss kitchen, which is also not that difficult to clean? As long as you don't have an open concept living room and therefore the kitchen doesn't have to match the living room's interior style, you can style your dream kitchen in your preferred style.
8. How much money can you spend? This is the question that can burst the most romantic relationship. After all, if the dream kitchen exceeds the budget significantly, then, unfortunately, the heartbreak will not stay away. Plan realistically.
