Kitchen & Bathroom Designs

Kitchen Design

  • The kitchen is the most frequently used room in the home, requiring careful planning.
  • Modern trends favor hybrid kitchen/living spaces, emphasizing functionality and style.
  • Key considerations:
    • Practical, safety, and spatial requirements.
    • Desired design and aesthetic outcomes.
  • Materials:
    • Understand the differences between materials.
    • Select materials based on their purpose and suitability.

Bathroom Design

  • Bathrooms are equally important due to their frequent use.
  • Successful design combines:
    • Practicality for daily needs.
    • Stylish, cohesive aesthetics.

Daily Usage Planning

  • Essential to define how the kitchen and bathroom will be used before starting the design.
  • Identify all appliances and fittings in advance, including:
    • Non-standard appliances (e.g., oversized or undersized items).
    • Fittings that influence space requirements.
  • Decisions impact:
    • Appliance and fitting placement.
    • Lighting and electrical outlet locations.
    • Pipe runs and plumbing infrastructure.

Foundation Planning

  • Precise locations for sinks, appliances, and fixtures must be determined early.
  • Ensure provisions for installations are made in foundational drawings.
  • Planning helps avoid delays or costly revisions during construction.

Special Considerations for Bathrooms

  • Decide early if wall-hung sanitaryware will be installed:
    • Wall-mounted basins or toilets require brackets for support.
    • Pipe locations must accommodate these brackets.
