How to Create a Beautiful and Functional Kitchen
The home should reflect the heart. We’re firm believers in the power of personal dreams, whether we’re helping clients select quintessential finishes, choose the perfect countertops, or renovate their commercial offices. We strive to turn your creative ideas into magical spaces. One such magical space is the kitchen–the part of your home where family and friends come together to share a meal, enjoy delightful conversation, and make memories. Creating a beautiful and functional kitchen is essential to fashioning that warm and welcoming Lowcountry experience.
Know What You Want
Your ideal kitchen should ultimately revolve around you and your desires. Stop and consider exactly how you want to approach your kitchen space. If cooking is your passion, how can you center your design around your needs as a chef? Or, how will your seating arrangement and kitchenware accommodate your love for entertaining? Then, think beyond appliances and other generic accouterments and try to conceptualize your overall aesthetic. Once you’ve captured your vision, imagine how every element will work together to achieve your look: the color of your fixtures, your countertops, the type of lighting, the decor you select, etc. In the end, focus on what you do in the kitchen and what steps you can take to make your lifestyle more comfortable.
Prioritize Functionality
The kitchen is a place where you spend a significant amount of time–from preparing dinner parties to baking cookies with your kids–so it’s important to prioritize functionality as well as style. What happens in the kitchen relies heavily on what is not seen: the storage space for your pots and pans, the cupboards holding your ingredients, and so on. Once you have determined your overall aesthetic, structure your kitchen to accommodate your needs. If you love cooking, invest in top-notch appliances, ample storage, and generous countertop space. If your tastes are more modern, consider incorporating multifunctional furniture and appliances.
