Kitchens are often seen as the heart of the home. However, this can mean that they become a place of stress, instead of enjoyment. With rushed morning routines, packed lunches, entertaining friends, after school snacks, late night clean ups and everything in between – your kitchen quickly loses its appeal as a place of sanctuary and calm.
However, if you are in need of a calm kitchen in your busy home, our bespoke kitchen designers in Peterborough can help.
For example, clear surfaces often lead to a clear headspace. Walking into the kitchen and seeing clean worktops makes you feel like things are in order. This can be achieved by having only the essentials, such as a kettle or coffee machine and a fruit bowl, on show. Everything else can be stored behind closed doors. Integrated items in your kitchen will also help to keep the kitchen space clean and free. Pull out storage bins are a massive plus too as this will save room in the kitchen and look nicer too.
You don’t need to rid your kitchen of all personality to create a calm kitchen in your busy home. Instead, you can have the things you want to see on show. Everything else, especially those things that you don’t use every day. By having the odd picture, pot plant, school art or glassware on display you are giving yourself space to breathe in your kitchen. The distractions are dialled down, which creates the calm space in your busy home.
Here at PPM Interiors, we have some really cool storage solutions to still give you the storage you need, while having the calm kitchen you need. For example, deep drawers with built in dividers for your kitchen goods. These can be used for storing and organising your pans, dishes and utensils, which work a lot better than cupboards with deep dark corners where nothing can be found.
Pull-out larders and corner storage solutions mean that the items you need are brought to you. You don’t need to stretch, squat, sprawl across the floor or reach in 10 different directions to get something you need at the back. The storage pulls the items to you, so everything is within easy reach, while still being hidden away.
As all parents know, organisation isn’t about perfection. This is especially the case when it comes to busy family homes. Instead, it’s about creating habits in a kitchen that works for you. Want to know what we mean? Pop into our calm kitchen showroom in Peterborough and let us show you around.
