Answer the following questions as a guide for consideration points when beginning the kitchen design process:

• What do you like about your current kitchen?

• What do you dislike?

• Do you require a lot of space in your kitchen?
  Yes - you may wish to incorporate a number of pantries in your design or extend storage space outside your kitchen into other adjoining rooms

• Does your new kitchen need to be extremely durable to cater for a growing family?
  Yes - consider using textured vinyl wrap finishes and darker colours to hide everyday marks and small dents on panels

• How many people are in your kitchen at one time on average?
  More people require more floor space to prevent congestion

• Is your kitchen used for more than just food preparation and cooking?

• Do you also use your kitchen for work, entertaining or as an additional living area?

• Will you be purchasing new appliances or will you be incorporating existing appliances into the design?

Once you have a very general idea of what you would like in your new kitchen, the next step is to measure the space available.
