About Kitchen projects
Residential kitchen interiors in New Zealand need to account for daily cooking and the room’s connection to the rest of the home. Projects such as Point Wells Kitchen by Kitchens by Design offer a starting point for design ideas: consider where preparation happens and how household traffic might cross that working space. A useful brief records what the current kitchen makes difficult, rather than beginning with a preferred cabinetry style.
Kitchen Interiors
Ideas for materials need to be considered alongside the surrounding interior. Consider the kitchen within the wider home in a residential project such as Sandstone Shed by Yoke, rather than treating the benchtop as an isolated selection. The height of adjoining surfaces and the edges where joinery meets wall linings deserve as much attention as colour. Photographs can help establish a direction, but construction details need to be resolved in drawings.
How much space should I allow around a kitchen island?
Set out the island with appliance doors and drawers shown open, then check that people can pass without entering the working area. Agree clearances with your designer before fixing the island’s size.
What should I resolve before ordering kitchen joinery?
Confirm appliance models and the positions of plumbing and electrical services. Give the joiner the appliance specifications so openings and ventilation allowances can be incorporated into the drawings.
Can a renovation retain the existing kitchen layout?
Keeping service locations may reduce the scope of plumbing and electrical work. Have the existing cabinetry and benchtop supports assessed before deciding which elements can remain.
