The Kitchen
When the sun comes out, we want it to be
reflected in our homes with welcoming colors and
a sense of space. Whether you have a small or
large kitchen, you can make it the heart of your
summer living. If youre redesigning, or
redecorating, base your scheme on fresh, light
tones of your favorite color. If you prefer
neutrals to colors, find ones with a warm base
tone which will work well in the winter too,
especially if your kitchen faces north and
doesnt get much natural light.

Custom Kitchen design Ideas

• A north facing kitchen may not need curtains or
  blinds, but if your kitchen faces south or west,
  youll certainly need to think about window
  treatment. If your windows are shut while youre
  out at work all day, in the summer, heat will
  soon build up and make the room unwelcoming.
• If you have children or dogs using the kitchen as
  a route to the garden, choose a practical floor
  covering such as laminate, which is easy to clean
  and should withstand the occasional dropped
  plate.

Basic design criteria

• In a large family kitchen, guests will want to
  come and chat to you as you cook, so introduce a
  breakfast bar, stools for an island unit or put a
  table and chairs near the patio doors. Make the
  most of summer by enjoying the lighter days and
  the garden as you cook and eat. Try and make sure
  that your main working space faces the window.
• As well as enjoying the extra daylight, think
  carefully about task lighting. Use spotlights in
  the ceiling targeting high use areas such as the
  sink, or under cupboard lights to flood your work
  tops. If you eat in the kitchen, consider pendant
  lights above the table for a more subtle effect.

• If you have a small kitchen, keep to a palette of
  pale colours for cupboards, worktops, tiles and
  paintwork to increase the impression of space. If
  your main worktop or sink faces a wall in a
  galley kitchen, consider putting a mirror above
  it to reflect the light. (Youll be able to keep
  an eye on children playing in the garden too!)
• Why not some have glass fronted cabinets or open
  shelves? Theyll open up the space more than a
  run of solid cupboard fronts. Keep worktops as
  clear as possible of large appliances to make
  them seem longer and go for a floor covering in a
  single colour rather than a busy pattern.

Summery

• For a summery look on a budget, a great idea from
  an interior design company in Leicester is to add
  new storage tins, t-towels or utensils in ice
  cream colours or a vintage pattern, or put pots
  of herbs in painted flowerpots along the
  windowsill.
• So, whether youre considering a major revamp or
  just want to make a few subtle changes, a little
  planning will make sure that, whatever weather we
  have, your kitchen will be the sunny heart of
  your home this summer.
