Frequently Asked Questions

What are the drawbacks of an open-concept cooking style?

Privacy is the main issue. You can't hide your mess from guests when you have an open-concept cooking area. You might also find that guests may be disturbed by the smells of cooking. It can be hard to clean an open kitchen if it doesn't have a designated cooking area and dining area. If you don't have a lot of space, an open concept kitchen may not be the best option.

Do you have flooring under your kitchen cabinets?

Flooring under kitchen appliances is an important consideration. You can ensure that your countertop is at the correct height.

How can I make my kitchen whiter?

There are many ways to make your white kitchen more appealing. One way is to add coloured appliances and backsplash tiles. Another option is to incorporate wood elements if you want to add warmth to your white kitchen. Warm LED lighting can also be used to enhance the warmth of a white kitchen. No matter which route you take, it is important to add your personal style to make your kitchen stand out.

Can a stove and a fridge be side by sides?

If there is enough room for both appliances, they can be placed side-by-side. This is not a good design practice in kitchen design. It can cause wasted space in the kitchen and make it cramped. Having the stove and refrigerator placed in different kitchen areas is much better. This allows for a more efficient workflow and makes the kitchen feel larger.
