Top Kitchen Tips as Featured in Home Beautiful
Home Beautiful Magazine’s September 2023 issue is hot off the press, and we were thrilled to chat with them and share some of our top kitchen design ideas and tips. Central to creating a successful kitchen design is working with one of our expert designers, not only get the look and feel of your kitchen right, but the functionality as well. Time and time again ‘more storage’ is at the top of our client’s list and with our range of storage solutions it’s easy to maximise storage and organisation in your new Freedom Kitchen.
Here’s some of our favourite ways to maximise style and usability in your kitchen:
1. Incorporate integrated storage solutions.
Clever storage solutions are critical to the success of how your kitchen functions. Our extensive range of storage accessories offer numerous designs such as pull-out pantries, wire pull-out drawers, cutlery tray inserts, and integrated bins.
One of our favourite additions is a corner carousel which provide optimal access to pesky corner cupboards. On their own these accessories may seem like a small detail, but together they can make all the difference in how you use your kitchen.
2. Include a thoughtful lighting scheme.
Often overlooked, we place a lot of importance on a good kitchen lighting scheme, as it really does impact how the space functions and looks. Pendant lights above island benches add instant drama and ambience, while LED downlights are ideal for task lighting in key prep areas. Our flexible strop lighting provides warmth to your design, highlighting key areas such as splashbacks or you might like to opt for our vertical strip lighting which you can place within our joinery.
3. Remember small details can make a big impact.
A chic handle is the perfect finishing touch to your kitchen cabinets, bringing your whole kitchen style together. We have an extensive range of handle options including integrated designs if you love a sleek modern look. Integrating appliances such as dishwashers behind our joinery allows you to place these key items within your main kitchen space without becoming a focal point. Also consider your benchtop thickness and profile as well as elements such as open shelving along walls or within your kitchen island bench – these are all things your Freedom Kitchens designer will be able to discuss with you during your free design appointment.
