Denver’s Natural Stone Sales Discusses Things To Consider When Designing Your Kitchen


When thinking about redesigning your kitchen, there are many, many factors to consider. You must think about the layout, the lighting, the flooring, the type of appliances, and so much more. Thankfully Denver’s Natural Stone Sales can help you with a lot of these considerations. 

Lets take a look at the things you need to consider as far as the layout of your kitchen is concerned. First off, you are probably only working with the space you already have, unless you are adding an addition or expanding into another room. If you are working with the original space, it can be hard to envision things differently.

Denver’s Natural Stone Sales recommends taking a look at their extensive gallery of finished jobs. Browsing through these photos can help you get an idea of all the options you have when thinking about the layout of your kitchen. They also have a visualizer tool on their website which can be very helpful in envisioning your new kitchen. 

After you have gotten a good idea of how you want your kitchen laid out, you will want to also think about something called the ‘work triangle.’ This refers to the distances between your main work spaces in your kitchen—mainly, your sink, your range, and your refrigerator. These distances should be short as you want to easily move about your kitchen while cooking or baking. 

The next factor to consider when redesigning your kitchen is the function of your kitchen. This goes along with that work triangle, but it goes beyond that as well. You want to think about how you use your kitchen. Do you entertain a lot? Do you mostly just cook for your family? Here you really want to think about your lifestyle.

If you entertain a lot, than you want to think about how you can fill your kitchen with people. Maybe you want to have a big island around which several bar stools can fit. Or maybe you want space for a farmhouse table. Whatever your lifestyle, thinking about these things ahead of designing your space, is very important. 

Another consideration to think about when redesigning your kitchen is storage. Again, you will want to think about your lifestyle and your needs when it comes to storage.

What king of a grocery shopper are you? Do you load up on the seasonal things? Buy things in bulk?
If so, than you may want to consider including a space big enough to have a pantry inside which to store all those bulk items. 

Do you have several types of dishes for different occasions or holidays. Then, you will want to consider the size and height of the cabinets you will choose. Really think about how everything is going to fit in your new kitchen. 

This is your chance to get everything just exactly how you want it. This is your dream kitchen, so be sure to consider all of these factors when designing your new kitchen. In our next blog, Denver’s Natural Stone Sales will consider with the top things to consider when designing the kitchen of your dreams.
