Inspiration for a new kitchen
Advertorial Feature
It’s without doubt that a number of cooking programmes have become must see viewing. Due to shows such as Masterchef, Come Dine with Me and Bake Off taking the UK by storm, much of the population now consider themselves to be the next Jamie Oliver. Well, that might be a slight exaggeration, but we’ve certainly been encouraged to put our cooking skills to the test. However, in order to make good food, you need to have a decent kitchen, ideally one in which the grill functions, the microwave doesn’t blow up and the worktops are clean enough to work on. Are you desperate for a kitchen that’s perfect for all your cooking exploits? Well if you’re searching for fitted kitchens in Manchester, here are some ideas to get you thinking.
Modern look
If you want your new kitchen to look chic and sophisticated, then an idea to think about is the ‘modern look.’ To create the contemporary feel, it’s important that you concentrate on the materials which you’re going to use. For example, as opposed to choosing a range of different colours, opting for monochrome tends to be more effective, as it’s minimalist yet stylish. In terms of the worktops, marble and granite are popular choices for the contemporary kitchen. They are sharp, sleek, and will certainly impress your guests. Technology is also fundamental to this particular look, so bear this in mind when you’re adding the final touches.
Family kitchen
A favourite amongst interior designers for 2013 is the desire to make the kitchen an integral part of family life. Seen as the heart of the home, designers want the kitchen to return to something special; the room in which loved ones are brought together. So, to achieve this, it’s essential to focus on a concept of warmth and home comforts. In terms of colour, you’re better selecting light, pastel shades, such as yellow or orange, as these neutral tones can really establish a sense of positivity in the kitchen. Lighting is also crucial, so ensure that the space is bright and welcoming to keep your family happy. And to finish off, why not add a few vintage accessories, such as some traditional scales or a teapot, as these always succeed in creating the family vibe.
Eco-friendly option
Want to help the environment? Then why not choose the eco-friendly option for your kitchen? It doesn’t take too much effort and you’ll be helping to save the planet at the same time. All that’s needed is a bit of extra thought; opt for recycled materials when deciding upon worktops (like stainless steel or glass), minimise the number of electrical products and use eco-paints to bring your kitchen to life. What’s more, it’s easy being green AND stylish, as there are recycle bins available in a variety of size, shape and colour to suit the look of your kitchen, so do your bit!
