The design of a kitchen must be done considering several aspects such as functionality, safety and aesthetics. In this sense, modern fitted kitchens are the ones that best adapt to any space and requirement, since they are made up of modules that complement each other in proportional measurements bathroom remodel Waukesha.
Thanks to their modular design, modern fitted kitchens can be adapted to the taste and needs of each person, as the necessary areas can be incorporated to take advantage of the space and enjoy comfortable use.
Another advantage of modern fitted kitchens is that their modules have a similar aesthetic line , which facilitates the creation of harmonious environments adapted to different interior design styles, from vintage to rustic. In the end, you decide what your kitchen will look like!
And so that nothing is left out, below we will explain what you should take into account when designing each module to make the most of the available space and create an aesthetically unique and sophisticated room.
Pantry and Storage Area
Since its function is to provide a cool place to store and preserve food, and to provide a space to store kitchen utensils (such as knives, pots, pans and so on), this area includes upper and lower cabinets, floor-to-ceiling modules and Of course, refrigerating appliances such as the refrigerator, freezer or minibar.
Small fitted kitchens are characterized by having limited space for this area, so our recommendation is to group all food in the upper cabinets and all kitchen utensils in the lower cabinets. This way, you will have everything you need to cook at hand.
Now, to generate a cleaner visual finish, you can recess the appliances inside the furniture and put a door of the same color on them. In this way you will create a modern luxury kitchen, with minimalist inspiration, in which there is a uniformity of textures.
Wash zone
Another essential area for a complete kitchen is the laundry area. This includes equipment such as the dishwasher, taps and/or dishwasher. As a general recommendation, this area is located opposite the pantry area to prevent water from splashing on appliances such as the refrigerator.
The choice of faucet is key to avoiding these situations. At Duomo we suggest high-spout faucets , since, due to their elevation, they facilitate the handling of food and kitchen utensils when cleaning them.
Another ideal option for small spaces are folding spout faucets, as they have movement on their axis, which allows greater room for maneuver when washing.
Food Preparation and Cutting Area
The preparation area consists of countertops and should be large enough for comfort in daily use. The recommended materials for kitchen countertops are sintered stones, a resistant, antibacterial and easy-to-clean material that comes in large formats, so its installation has almost no joints.
Using this type of material allows you to work directly on its surface with common kitchen utensils (for utensils with a higher hardness, you should use cutting boards). They are practically waterproof, resistant to scratches, abrasion and sudden changes in temperature.
One of the reasons why sintered stones are one of the favorite materials in the kitchen is because of their antibacterial characteristic, which prevents the proliferation of fungi, guaranteeing optimal health conditions in food preparation.
Cooking area
Finally, the cooking area completes the work triangle, so it remains in the center, in the middle of the storage area and the washing area. This area not only includes the kitchen counter , but also adds other accessories for integral kitchens such as the oven, microwave or extractor hoods.
As with the pantry and storage area, our recommendation for the cooking area is to opt for integrated appliances, for example, integrated ceiling or countertop campaigns, countertop stoves, built-in ovens or microwaves built into the furniture.
