If it is a matter of changing the kitchen you already own, surely your choice will be simpler: most likely you will already have an idea of ??your needs and mistakes made in the past, which you will now try to avoid. But if it's your first new kitchen?

Do not be in a hurry: the rush is enemy and could make you wrong buying. Take the time necessary to visit different stores and evaluate different proposals and combinations that could best enhance your home and your lifestyle.

Never lose sight of functionality: a beautiful, but inconvenient to use kitchen could make your life more complicated. Is it worth it?

First of all it is very important to take the measurements of the space you have available. It is also essential to check where the water and gas connections are and to take measurements of those. Buying a new kitchen with the connections on the opposite side will result in additional costs for its assembly!

When you have taken the measures of the kitchen, you can finally dedicate yourself to the choice of the one you prefer, compatibly with the space you have at your disposal.

If you have limited space available

If the space at your disposal is short, opt for models that are able to exploit all the available space, even in height. Avoid empty spaces preferring a greater number of wall units: in the upper part of the kitchen you can store everything you use less, but that you still need. Just arm yourself with a ladder to take effortlessly what you need at the moment.

For this purpose, the modular kitchen units are perfect, allowing you to obtain a customized product for your space without excessive costs.

On the other hand, we women know it well, space in the kitchen is never enough!

A beautiful but not very functional kitchen would certainly be a bad choice: try to find the right compromise between what you like and your lifestyle.

If you have a lot of space available

If the space available is rather large, you have only to choose from the many kitchens offered by the market.

You can opt for kitchens with island (very useful for cooking and for placing small trays or small appliances), linear, or "broken". In this case the choice is really very wide!

Never lose sight of the functionality: even if you have plenty of space at your disposal, a kitchen that is too large could make the room too "cramped".

The choice of home appliances

Depending on your tastes and available space, you can choose built-in appliances (which are hidden behind the kitchen doors) or "free-standing" models, which remain visible.

If space allows, choose a high position for the electric oven: it is much more convenient to use and, above all, to clean!

If you ever cook (and space allows it) choose a 5-burner hob instead of the classic 4-seater. You can cook more dishes at the same time: opt for this choice only if you often put more pots on the stove together. Remember that this choice could take away valuable space on your kitchen countertop.

The choice of materials

On the market you can find ready-made kitchens at really cheap prices: remember, however, that these models are made of rather poor materials that require special care and attention to increase the duration.

For example, a marble top has a considerably higher cost than a laminate worktop: while the marble is almost eternal (it could break or stain), the laminate floor can withstand humidity and heat. Keep in mind that the simple steam emitted from the dishwasher may already be a problem.

Generally, after a few years, the plan is ruined and may need to be replaced, causing discomfort and discomfort.

Even the material with which the doors are built and the kitchen structure can make the difference: a kitchen made of solid wood has a longer life and a great advantage. If tomorrow you want to renovate the kitchen, you might think to paint it with a new color, a difficult and difficult task to make on a kitchen made of laminate.

The glossy effect doors, which are so popular in recent years, have a huge flaw: they must be cleaned and polished often because, inevitably, every day they will have some bad fingerprints to see.

For the kitchen table, avoid the glass tops: they are very beautiful to look at but at the same time they are also very delicate. As for the glossy doors should be cleaned often: and if you love to add a touch of color in the kitchen, perhaps with a beautiful vase of flowers placed in the middle of the table, remember to always place a centerpiece under the vase. Despite these attentions, the piano may scratch!
