As a result of our experience, it is safe to say that we know a thing or two about kitchens. Our team often speaks to customers who are anxious about whether they should invest in a kitchen transformation. Therefore, we have developed some of our top hints and tips to help you decide when it is time to redesign your Northern Ireland kitchen.
1. Your Northern Ireland kitchen lacks space
The kitchen was once a place where cooking (and only cooking) took place. Nowadays, the kitchen is one of – if not the most – social room in the house. Kitchens have evolved to become a space of traffic for all the family. They offer a space for homework, working from home, and socialising with friends and family.
As a result of your kitchen’s many purposes, you need space. There must be space for your family to move around your kitchen freely. There must also be space for your variety of belongings – kitchen utensils, food, and not to mention that drawer that seems to have everything in it.
Consider how you use your Northern Ireland kitchen
When deciding whether to redesign your Northern Ireland kitchen, we encourage you to think about how you and your family use your kitchen. This is unique for every household. Your kitchen should be a perfect space for you to do whatever you wish. This means that whether you transform into a professional chef on the weekends, or you are a family of 5 who all need space for your favourite foods, your kitchen design should encapsulate this. Ultimately, if you never have enough cupboard or worktop space, your kitchen is not functional.
Once you have considered how you use your kitchen space, consider whether your current kitchen space can cater for this. Do you find yourself having to find space for even the smallest things you buy in the supermarket? If so, it is time to contact a professional kitchen designer to help you transform your kitchen.
It’s not just about aesthetics
A kitchen redesign is not just about aesthetics. Our team at Torbitts Ltd have a wealth of experience in the behind-the-cupboard details of your kitchen. They will assist you in finding the perfect storage solutions for your household. These storage solutions range from drawer inserts to spice racks. As well as this, they will design your kitchen with space and movement in mind. Therefore, your entire family will have a place, your kitchen will never feel overwhelmingly crowded or busy again.
2. Is your Northern Ireland kitchen outdated?
Many kitchens contain appliances and designs that are extremely outdated. If you previously transformed your kitchen to achieve a particular aesthetic or trend that you no longer love, it is time to redesign your Northern Ireland kitchen.
As well as this, many kitchen appliances are outdated. This is because the electrical appliance market has been transformed in recent years to include new products that are more energy efficient. These modern appliances include boiling water taps instead of kettles and energy-efficient fridges.
The efficiency of your kitchen is extremely important due to the rising cost of living. In April 2022, energy bills increased by 54% for households across the UK. As a result, our expert design team is encouraging customers to make the switch to energy-saving appliances. These appliances have a smaller impact on the environment, so we encourage you to consider them in more depth. Whilst they might be more expensive now, they will decrease your energy bills in the long term.
3. Does your kitchen show signs of wear and tear?
As we mentioned above, the kitchen is the most social room in your house. This is beneficial for many households, as their kitchen provides a space for socialising and bonding. However, spending a large amount of time in your kitchen will result in wear and tear over time.
Wear and tear are displayed in a variety of ways in your Northern Ireland kitchen. For example, scuffed flooring or damaged cabinets. Over the years, we have worked closely with countless customers who had one issue with their kitchen. However, as it was only one issue, they chose to ignore it. Over time, these add and multiply. Before you know it, your Ballymena kitchen will show many signs of wear and tear, and it will be time for a kitchen redesign. Whilst this might seem like the wrong decision, you can save time and money by updating everything at once, rather than one small thing at a time.
