5 Things to Know Before Getting A New Kitchen
Are you a new homeowner renovating your first kitchen on a budget or splashing out on the family kitchen of your dreams? Perhaps your building a new home? Finding inspiration is easy because there’s so much choice at Built to Desire Kitchens and its our job to partner with you on your journey to ensure we design a space to suit you and your familys needs, wants & budget.
So, before you go ahead, take on board this advice to help you prepare and plan for your brand new kitchen!
Reflect and Rethink!
For many of us, the kitchen is the heart of the home and fulfils many roles. Think about what happens during a typical day in the life of your kitchen and what that means for the layout.
Maybe you are an entertainer or need a space where the kids can do their homework whilst you’re prepping dinner. Do you have pets that call the kitchen home? They need their own space too! Kitchens and living rooms are becoming increasingly combined as open living spaces so if you’re planning a great big family room, think about how each space will work separately and together.

Time to Tidy!
When designing a new kitchen, it is the perfect opportunity to consider how much storage is actually needed. Think about utensils, pots, and pans, tupperware & crockery. All of these things can soon fill up your cabinet space, so creating innovative organisation is essential to solving your storage dilemmas.
From lazy susans to Lemans units which bring the contents in difficult spaces of your cupboard to you perfectly, compartmented bins, or our clever & functional kitchen storage ideas such as caddys (pictured below) will help keep your home always looking tidy.
What’s your style?
Knowing your style is important. If you’re not sure what this is yet the best place to start is our recent projects and gallery on our website. This showcases some of our previous work and will help you to narrow down what style you do like. We can do any style of kitchen from modern, traditional, hamptons to Scandinavian and we have a wide variety of styles to view that is sure to get your creative juices flowing.
Adding your personal touch
Before embarking on a new kitchen project, consider the importance of integrating personal touches. This step ensures that your kitchen reflects your unique style and preferences, making the space not just functional but also a true representation of you. Whether it’s through distinctive colour schemes, custom hardware, or decorative pieces that hold sentimental value, these personal touches can transform your kitchen into a welcoming and expressive part of your home. This consideration is key to creating a kitchen that feels both personalized and inviting.
Measure up
The next (and probably most important) thing to consider is your kitchen measurements. This is where we come in! We will need these to help create the best solution for your space by way of an in-home measure up. This is completed by our director Mark who has years of experience when it comes to designing a functional kitchen.
