10 Design Mistakes You Don’t Want to Make in Your Kitchen

http://www.sleekworld.com/micro/offers.html 

www.sleekworld.co.in - Online shopping for Modular kitchen components

A lot of life happens in the kitchen. No matter how different our lifestyles may be, a lot of activity revolves around the kitchen: Cooking , preparing a quick snack, eating breakfast or a 3-course dinner with family or friends. Not only do we socialize in the kitchen, getting together with family and friends over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, the kitchen is one place that needs to be both beautiful and functional. This raises a double challenge of do’s and dont’s in kitchen design. Because of this specialists warn us about the 10 mistakes we should avoid in order to achieve both practical and elegant kitchen design.

1. Don’t obstruct access to the kitchen triangle.

Specialists refer to the sink, stove and refrigerator as the kitchen triangle, the area of greatest activity which requires careful planning and unobstructed access. Of the three, the sink will see the most action and should have easy access to the stove and refrigerator, as well as your countertop workstations.

Sinks need to be installed in close proximity to the plumbing, but often kitchens are designed with the sinks installed right above the plumbing or in a poor location. Instead of making this kitchen design mistake, consider hiring a plumber to relocate the drains and the plumbing to accommodate the best placement for the sink.

Regardless of kitchen size or layout (L-shaped kitchen, galley, U-shaped or Island style), the sum of all the legs in a work triangle should not be less than ten feet and greater than twenty-five feet. If the sum of the legs in the work triangle is too small, people will be tripping over each other and if too large, food preparation could be a very tiring task.

2. Don’t waste storage space.

Kitchens typically contain lots of stuff. Not only that, but items often concealed behind built-in kitchen cabinet doors can be oddly shaped and require a lot of space, such as food processors or stand mixers. Finding a home for your kitchen stuff while keeping it easily accessible can be a tricky proposition. Because built-ins are expensive and the overall size of the area you’re working with may be limited, one big design mistake is not including enough storage.

Almost every kitchen design has wasted space, but this can be minimized with adequate planning and forethought. If the kitchen is small, consider installing extra long upper cabinets with molding for extra storage space. Place lighting or greenery along the molding to draw the eyes up. Also remember to always install cabinets over the refrigerator. Not to fully utilize the space above the refrigerator is a waste of potential storage space for large or seasonal kitchen items.

Install shelves across the backs of the lower kitchen cabinet as they will save you nearly a 2 foot by 2 foot or 4 square foot potential storage area. Otherwise, the kitchen will feel smaller than it is because you will constantly be trying to find more storage space.

3. Don’t ignore counter-top work space.

One of the biggest complaints about kitchen design is the lack of counter-tops. Consider all the kitchen activities that require a counter-top, as well as appliances that are permanently located there, you might want to fit as much open horizontal surface areas in a kitchen as possible. This may be achieved by adding an island or breakfast bar to an L-shaped kitchen.

4. Poor lighting.

The kitchen is one room where you can’t afford to have poor lighting. It’s not only a matter of design and atmosphere, but also a safety matter when it comes to handling sharp kitchenware. Rooms generally need three types of lighting: general lighting for overall illumination, task lighting, and accent lighting. For the kitchen you especially should evaluate the work areas and focus on how you can provide each spot with the light it needs. Consider adding lighting directly above all the main working areas, use pendant lights or a series of mini-pendants in areas where these can enhance the lighting and beauty of the kitchen. Pendants look great above kitchen sinks, while a series of mini-pendants enhance the appearance and lighting of breakfast bars and kitchen islands. Also, install under-cabinet lighting as an additional way to ensure that the counters have sufficient lighting for common kitchen tasks. After all, the more light you have in the room, the better you can show off all of those amazing design elements you’ve added to the space.

 

5. Don’t forgo a back-splash.

While budgeting or designing a new kitchen or kitchen remodel, sometimes the backsplash considerations slip to the end of the list. Occasionally, the backsplash area is completely left out of the plan. This is one mistake that saves you money on the short term, but on the long run costs you a lot of time and effort. Imagine the steam, high humidity and grease content in the kitchen and you will understand why installing a backsplash behind the oven and extending it above all the counters throughout the kitchen is a smart idea. It is much easier to clean grease off a backsplash made of tile, metal, or plastic, than wall paint or wallpaper.

 

6. Don’t forget to ventilate.

The best of kitchen design fades in the presence of bad smelling air. If you’ve ever walked into someone’s home and smelled last night’s fish&chips lingering on the stale air, you’ll understand the importance of good ventilation. Inexpensive range hoods simply circulate dirty, stale air, while a good ventilation system will help improve the quality of your indoor air and also help keep your kitchen cleaner.

Effective ventilation systems also help extend the life of your appliances and although they can be an investment, if you have a kitchen that opens to a living area or family room, they will make life easier, cleaner and more pleasant for everyone.

7. Don’t choose a wrong kitchen island.

When it comes to  kitchen islands we generally think of additional storage, preparation and serving space in the kitchen, but the fact of the matter is that kitchen islands can waste a lot space. Choosing the wrong island or placing it in the wrong spot can be a disaster, especially in a work area that can get over cluttered. Islands that obstruct the flow of traffic to and from the sink, refrigerator, stove and primary workstations will create bottlenecks and major hassles. At minimum, an island should be 4 feet long and a little more than 2 feet deep, but it must also have room for people to move and work around it. Specialists recommend that unless the kitchen is at least 8 feet deep and more than 12 feet long, one shouldn’t even consider an island.

8. Don’t ignore your recyclables.

These days, with the advent of recycling, dealing with trash in kitchen design has gone beyond sticking a bin under the sink. As recycling is here to stay, be prepared to manage your trash efficiently and incorporate trash sorting bins into your kitchen design.

9. Going too trendy.

Although it’s not necessarily a mistake, choosing the latest kitchen designs and high-end equipment may not be the best of choices. The most stylish colour of the season and trendy designs have a short half-life, and you may never get your return on large investments in the latest kitchenware.

 

10. Avoiding professionals.

Taking over a kitchen design project on your own to save money is a common mistake which can waste more money, time and energy. There are some jobs where, for safety and quality work, a professional is not a whim. Kitchen designers possess the latest trends, ideas, and manufacturer’s details, help you identify your specific needs and translate those details into an efficient plan according to your taste.

Modular kitchen v/s Carpenter Made kitchen : http://www.sleekworld.com/

As modular kitchens become the new style statement for the modern homemaker, more and more

modern families are opting for it over carpenter made kitchens. Here are a few reasons why modular

kitchen is definetly a better bet than carpenter made kitchens.

Infinite design options: A carpenter would give you a limited number of design options. An ordinary

dabba drawer, a cutlery drawer and a normal thali drawer, that’s it! But modular kitchen brands

like Sleek, The Kitchen Specialist, give you numerous options for smart and effective usage of your

kitchen space. Wall hangings, rotating tall units, lift-up flaps, soft-closing drawers are all blessings of

modular kitchen.

Optimum space management: Innovative tall kitchen units can store all your food containers in a

small 2ft x 2ft space. Corner units transform your wasted corner space into the most useful one.

Innovations like these can only be found in a modular kitchen.

Excellent finish: Observe the rough edges and uneven finish of a carpenter-made kitchen, and

compare it to the smooth, seamless finish of a modular kitchen. It is unparalleled. Another

advantage of the machine-made shutters of Sleek modular kitchens is that every shutter is evenly

finished, and has no open edges. This ensures that no bacteria or pests enter the cabinets, and you

have a clean hygienic kitchen.

No mess, no stress: Days of mess, noise and dust… are the side effects of carpenter made kitchens.

Not to mention the tension and irritation that can affect your work as well. Getting your meals too

becomes a problem. But when you order a factory-fitted Sleek Modular Kitchen, all it takes is a

couple of days for installation. No mess, no dust, no noise. It’s easy and hassle free.

Maintenance and Service: With a carpenter-made kitchen, there is no guarantee for replacement

or regular service. But with modular kitchen companies like Sleek, The Kitchen Specialist, you will

not only get easy replacements but also a regular service contract that will ensure that your kitchen

remains in perfect working condition always.

Value for money: Though the carpenter-made kitchen seems like a reasonable solution in the

beginning, it ends up being an expensive affair. The carpenter will keep adding material and services

as he progresses. And in the end, when you calculate, you will realize the price has crossed the

quotation the modular kitchen company gave you. So you not only end up paying more for a

carpenter-made kitchen, but you also don’t get the functionality, innovation, excellent finish and

look of a modular kitchen. And don’t forget… the frustrating days when you have to tolerate the

banging and the mess in your kitchen.

Happy Ending: Sleek, The Kitchen Specialist provides you with the design expertise, and world class

kitchen solutions to turn your kitchen into a new, fresh, vibrant and a complete mood-setter for an

amazing kitchen experience.

It’s worth your money for it’s the best makeover you can give your kitchen. Call 1800 2120 200  for

http://www.sleekworld.com/

1. Wash Up Dishes, Pots And Pans As You Cook

Start with a sink full of hot soapy water, and then use the time while you are waiting while cooking, like when simmering or baking, to clean up what you can.
It is amazing how doing this simple kitchen cleaning tip can cut down on the clean up after the meal.
You should also let the additional pots and pans you could not clean up before dinner soak while you are enjoying your meal so they are even easier to clean up afterwards.

2. Follow An After-Meal Routine Each Time You Eat A Meal In Your Home

Basically this kitchen cleaning tip is to make sure that after every meal you do a mini-cleanup of the kitchen to get it ready for the next time you will need to make food in it again.
This routine can be something similar to this:
Put away all uneaten food, such as leftovers, in plastic containers, or otherwise store
Put all dishes in the dishwasher or hand wash them if necessary
Run the dishwasher as soon as it becomes full
Wash all pots and pans and other items used in preparing or eating the meal
Go ahead and dry these immediately hand washed dishes and pots and put them away, or if you like for things to drip dry come back later and put them away so that you have counter space available again the next time you need to use the kitchen
Quickly wipe down the counters, kitchen table, and stove top of any big crumbs or spills
Wipe down your sink of any grease or grime it got while washing dishes and other utensils
I generally just use the sprayer to rinse it off and run the garbage disposal briefly.
Some people like to dry their sink out with a cloth, but I think that is more a matter of personal preference.

3. Empty The Dishwasher Quickly After It Is Finished

Nothing causes a back up of dirty dishes piling up in your sink faster than a dishwasher full of clean dishes that still need to be put away.
This is a great chore for kids to do, or you can do it quickly while you are waiting for other things in the kitchen, like water to boil or something to finish in the microwave.

4. Empty Kitchen Trash

Of all the trash in the house the kitchen trash is most likely to attract bugs or other pests, and also the most likely to create unpleasant odors.
Therefore, as part of your daily routine make it a habit to take out the kitchen trash.

5. Sweep The Kitchen Floor

The more small children you have (or older messy eaters) the more important this task becomes.
It is amazing to me how messy my children are sometimes, especially when they are young, and how much stuff I can sweep off the floor every single day.
Again, this is a great task to assign to children.
We gave my middle son a dust pan and little hand-held broom and he sweeps up pretty well (he started when he was about three).

6. Change Your Kitchen Towels Daily, If Not More Often

With all this advice to wipe up spills as they happen, and clean your kitchen throughout the day as you eat various meals, you can go through a lot of kitchen towels.
At a minimum change your kitchen towels daily, but I do it more frequently because they get wet and soggy, and I like to use a clean cloth for each spill I wipe up, and a new one to dry dishes, and a new one to wipe faces and/or hands, etc.
I do this so I do not cross-contaminate by using the same kitchen towel multiple times.
