Take inventory of your needs
Notes:
- When taking on the task of designing a kitchen from scratch, the first thing you should always think about is your needs for it. After all, it defeats the purpose if you create a beautiful kitchen that you ultimately can’t use.
- Take a moment to analyze how you typically use your kitchen and what you want to use it for. In this, you’ll gain some insight into the primary goal for your project and use it as a guide throughout the remaining steps.
- Some ideas to consider:
- kitchen island with sit-up counter
- kitchen hood with lighting
- pot filler faucet over by cooking area
- multiple wall ovens
- encased refrigerator
- hanging pot rack with lighting

Include storage in your design
Notes:
- As you officially start designing, it’s also important that you find ways to incorporate storage. Too often, this feature gets overlooked in a storm of sparkling countertops and fancy new appliances.
- However, failing to plan for it from the start can leave you hurting for space in the end product. Therefore, make sure to note how many kitchen supplies you have and how much storage you’ll need to house it all. You might even want to set aside additional space for this purpose in case you acquire more cooking tools.

Use multiple types of lighting
Notes:
- Lighting should be a top priority for you, as well, during the designing period. It’s how we establish the atmosphere of a space and even perform many of our essential tasks. As such, it isn’t enough to put any generic lighting in your kitchen—you need the right kinds to create a warm and functional space.
- Ambient, task, and accent are the three main types of lighting, and using them in layers is the key to creating a well-rounded, functional room. Ambient will be your ceiling fixtures, task will be your countertop lighting, and accent will consist of any lighting that puts your décor on display.
- Let’ review the different lighting options from the photo above: [ scroll back up ]
- note the recessed lighting surrounding the outer perimeter of the kitchen
- in-cabinet lighting that accents the glass cabinet doors
- under-cabinet lighting to light up the countertop
- matching pendant lighting over the kitchen counter and dining area
- lighting under the hood giving illumination for cooking
- and most importantly, natural light from the bay windows and window over the sink

Be strategic with your color scheme
Notes:
- Another essential tip for designing your dream kitchen is to consider your color scheme carefully. Like light, color can also affect the mood within a space and influence how you feel while working there. So in picking the right selection of hues for your style, you’re creating a unique space that has a positive influence on you.
- To do this, ask yourself a few important questions, such as what style you want to use in the room and what atmosphere you want to convey. The answers may point you in the right direction and even present you with new possibilities.
