DESIGN
The Kitchen Design Process
• The design process is broken down into two separate and often conflicting elements
FUNCTION v AESTHETICS
FUNCTION
• Step .1 Needs Analysis Your brief to the designer will determine how succesful
your kitchen is
• Step .2 Space Limitations Can you move / remove walls, extend out, change
rooms?
• Step .3 Use zonal principles Building blocks / template for starting your layout
• Step .4 Balance with aesthetics All best designs are a compromise between function &
aesthetics
AESTHETICS
There are three distinct styles in kitchen design and your preference will determine what design rules you apply.

HYBRID
CLASSIC
CONTEMPORARY KITCHENS
