Kitchen Design FAQ's

At Inspire Kitchen Design Studio, our passion is creating beautiful kitchens. Here are some of our top tips for creating the kitchen of your dreams.

1. What factors should I consider when designing my kitchen?

To start the process, you should consider a few key elements. First, you need to decide on your budget so you know exactly what you're working with. From there, you should clearly outline the decor style you prefer, how you want to use the space, and how much storage you need.

2. How can I make the most of a small kitchen space?

This depends on how you use the kitchen. Do you need more room for cooking prep, storage, or seating? Our designers have many creative solutions to help you fit what you need in your space.

3. What are the latest trends in kitchen design?

We're excited about many trends, such as coffee corners, custom hoods, textured backsplashes, high-impact lighting, and all the shades of green. We love to find the balance between what's fresh in kitchen design and what you will love. For example, creating spaces for people to gather and interact is a trend this year, and exploring this trend is a great idea for someone who loves to entertain.

4. How can I create a functional and efficient kitchen layout?

People often choose their kitchen design primarily based on how it looks. But for a truly functional kitchen, you should start by thinking about how you use the kitchen and what elements need to be near each other. A well-designed kitchen should be easy to move around in yet keep the things you need close at hand.

5. What materials are best for kitchen countertops and cabinets?

The ideal choice depends on how heavily they're used, the look of your kitchen, your budget, and how much upkeep you're willing to do. Some good choices include quartz, granite, stainless steel, and butcher block. 

6. How can I incorporate eco-friendly and sustainable elements into my kitchen design?

There are far more eco-friendly kitchen materials available than there used to be. A good designer can explain the different options and how they'll fit into your kitchen decor. If this is important to you, be sure to ask about the possibilities.

7. What lighting options are best for a kitchen?

For a warm, well-lit kitchen, we recommend layered lighting. A beautiful pendant light fixture is an eye-catching addition to every kitchen, but be sure to provide other sources of light as well, such as under cabinet lighting and carefully placed can lights. Together, these different light sources provide good illumination without creating glare.

8. How important is ventilation in a kitchen design?

Ventilation may not be something you're excited about, but it's very important for a functional kitchen. Not only does it sweep away odors and fumes that can leave a film on your beautiful cabinets, but a ventilation hood can be a gorgeous addition to the decor.

9. What are some budget-friendly ways to update my kitchen design?

You don't have to do a complete remodel to freshen your kitchen's look. A new pendant light can brighten the room in more ways than one. Try a different paint color on the walls or add a textured backsplash. Just a few new elements can change the entire feel of the room.

10. How can I create a cohesive look between my kitchen cabinets, flooring, and countertops?

The different parts of a room don't have to match to work well together. To tie the look together, select two understated colors that coordinate well and choose a third accent color that brings the color palette to life.

11. What should I consider when choosing kitchen appliances for my design?

The look of your appliances is important, but function matters, too. Before you decide on a look you love, be sure to get good information about how reliable and efficient different brands are.

12. How can I work with a kitchen designer to bring my vision to life?

A good designer would love to sit with you and collaborate to create the kitchen of your dreams. Between your vision and their professional insight, you can create a kitchen you will love for years to come.
