The kitchen is one of the most important parts of a custom home. The right design should combine function and aesthetic appeal, making it a space you enjoy using every day. Below, we’ll discuss the key elements of a kitchen floor plan and how our team at Blue Hills can implement them into your RTM home. Keep reading to learn more!
The Kitchen: The Focal Point of the Home
The kitchen is truly the centrepiece of the home, where friends and family can enjoy cooking, dining, and visiting all in one place. The right kitchen design and layout can improve its flow and function, create a space that feels warm and inviting, and reflect your personal aesthetic taste and style.
A well-designed kitchen is also a great way to enhance your home’s value. The kitchen is generally one of the first rooms potential home buyers will assess, and a design that combines form and function is a major selling point in the real estate market. If you ever decide to sell your RTM home in the future, putting time and effort into your kitchen’s design now will only help it to appreciate in value!
Cabinets and Countertops: Key Elements in a Kitchen’s Layout
The idea of creating a cohesive and functional kitchen design can be daunting, but by focusing on a few key elements, the full look and feel of your kitchen will come together seamlessly!
The style and function of the kitchen largely depend on cabinets and countertops. These key features are the main areas for storage and preparation and are essential to maintaining a kitchen that is organized, useful, and durable. Our team at Blue Hills can help you choose a design and materials that work for the look and function of your kitchen. Here are a few important factors to consider when making your selection:
Durability
Durability is one of the most important things to keep in mind when selecting cabinets and countertops for your RTM home. High-quality, durable kitchen cabinets and countertops will last for several years without needing to be renovated or replaced.
Cabinet materials like solid wood, oak wood, and melamine not only look stylish, but are highly durable and can withstand years of use with minimal wear and tear.
Budget-friendly laminate countertops are great for young families, as this material is hard to stain—ideal for unexpected food spills! If you’re an avid cook or baker, you may be more inclined to purchase quartz countertops. Quartz is scratch-resistant, ideal for homeowners using heavier-duty kitchen utensils and appliances on their counter surfaces.
Storage Space
The amount of storage space you need in your kitchen should also impact the cabinets and countertops you choose to install.
The right set of cabinets should make organizing your pantry items, dishware, and other kitchen essentials easy and prevent items from tumbling out from lack of space. Lazy Susans, base pull-outs, and tray dividers are great space-saving options that you can include with your base and wall cabinets.
You can make the most of your kitchen’s space by installing corner countertops or an island, giving you more counterspace to store appliances and kitchen decor.
