Five Tips on Designing a Kitchen With Personality and Functionality

Your kitchen is where memories are made, home cooked meals are shared and the family gathers to share their day. The design itself can make the room appealing, easy to use and spacious looking. While designing a kitchen may seem overwhelming here are five tips on designing a kitchen with functionality and your own personality.

1. Include something unique. Whether it's a certain non-traditional color scheme or adding your grandmother's pots and pans to a pot rack, including a piece of yourself to the design will make it more comfortable and appealing. Don't feel that you have to make it look like everyone elses kitchen, go with what you feel makes it your kitchen.
2. Don't Overcrowd. Part of making any kitchen spacious is by not adding too much to the equation. Even your countertop area can add a sense of roominess by not putting too many things on it. Add the essentials but don't create an area that looks cluttered; areas that have more space typically look cleaner as well. 
3. Utilize Cabinet Space. Cabinets that reach all the way to the ceiling have two important functions - they create more storage room and keep the kitchen clean. Not only is trying to reach the tops of the cabinets to clean awkward but you'll enjoy having more room to store kitchen items. It not only looks great but is functional as well.
4. Consider a Transitional Kitchen. A transitional kitchen combines two important elements of any kitchen - traditional and contemporary. By merging both elements you get a kitchen area that not only has balance but allows for each family member's likes to be included. A good example is stainless steel appliances with natural wood cabinets; a man-made product and a natural product in harmony.

No matter how you want your kitchen to look, the perfect look is one that incorporates your unique tastes and decorating preferences.
