If you have found yourself working from home more frequently, you might be struggling to find the perfect space to boost your productivity.
Your kitchen can provide a great dedicated workspace, but you need to make sure this will integrate with the rest of your kitchen.
You should think about the following when designing your dream kitchen:
What do you need?
You must think about what you need from both your kitchen and your office space.
Consider factors such as the type of work you do, the equipment and storage you require, and the amount of dedicated space you need for focused work.
You will then need to compare this with the amount of space that you have available to narrow down what is feasible.
If you have a limited amount of space, you will need to balance whether to sacrifice your cooking area for more office space or vice versa.
What is the best location?
The space you have available will influence where you position your workspace.
Ideally, the workspace should be situated in a quieter area of the kitchen, away from noisy appliances and other distractions.
As we custom design our kitchens, we can transform awkward spaces into handcrafted nooks for you to do your work.
Or we could even incorporate the office into a kitchen island for a multipurpose space.
How can smart storage solutions help?
We all know the saying ‘tidy house, tidy mind’ and when it comes to your home office, this is essential.
Smart storage solutions can maximise your space and maintain a clutter-free environment.
This can include floating shelves, wall-mounted cabinets, or even a pegboard for easy access to frequently used items.
When designing your kitchen, be sure to allocate enough storage for both your work and kitchen essentials to maintain a harmonious and organised space.
How can you bring it all together?
The most difficult part when designing is ensuring your kitchen and workspace integrate seamlessly.
Choosing materials, colours, and finishes that complement your kitchen’s overall design will help this.
But to further enhance the visual flow, consider incorporating similar design elements or motifs throughout both spaces, such as matching cabinetry or coordinating lighting fixtures.
Your kitchen should be a unique space that caters for all of your needs (and wants). During our consultation, we will get to grips with what you are looking for to come up with a design that ticks all your boxes.
