Contemplate curvesSome customers request curves rather than square edges for their kitchen’s internal corners. Curved corners are effective in creating a stylish, flowing design and great for softening a kitchen’s look – but there are a few drawbacks to this, mainly a reduction in storage space. Most curved units don’t continue fully into a kitchen’s corners and consequently reduce access and use of this space. This may not be a problem in larger U-shaped kitchens, but it’s certainly worth noting when planning for smaller spaces.

3. Echo benchtops with the floorThe floor here is the same shade as the wooden benchtops, which gives a sense of cohesion to the kitchen. If your budget doesn’t stretch to solid wood, you could opt for wood plank vinyl flooring instead. It’s easy to adhere to the floor, looks similar to solid wood, and has the added benefit of being waterproof and incredibly durable. Alternatively, go for wood-effect ceramic tiles. Ensure the floor beneath is completely flat in order for small tiles to be laid successfully.
