Kitchen Planning Tips – A : The Importance of Good Kitchen Planning
The kitchen is one of the most important spaces in the home: a place to cook, share, and enjoy. Proper planning ensures it is functional, stylish, and tailored to your needs. At Miccoli Interiors, we design modern and Italian kitchens optimising every detail, from the layout to the choice of materials.
1. Define Your Needs and Lifestyle
Before starting any design, it’s essential to understand how you use your kitchen:
Do you cook daily or only occasionally?
Do you need a central island for work and dining?
Do you prefer integrated or freestanding appliances?
Based on your habits, we’ll adapt the design so your kitchen is truly functional and comfortable for you.
2. Choose the Right Layout
The layout is key to optimising space and making your work easier. The most common include:
Single-line: ideal for narrow spaces.
L-shaped: makes use of corners and offers good flow.
U-shaped: maximises work surfaces.
With island: perfect for open spaces and social kitchens.
Our team ensures the work triangle rule is followed: the ideal connection between sink, fridge, and hob.
3. Select High-Quality, Durable Materials
The kitchen is a high-use space, so materials must be resistant and easy to maintain.
Cabinets: high-pressure laminates, lacquered finishes, natural wood, or porcelain fronts.
Worktops: porcelain, quartz, granite, or next-generation compact surfaces.
Wall finishes: moisture-resistant and easy to clean.
We work with leading brands such as Cucine Lube, Xtone, Ascale, and Inalco to offer the best in design and durability.
4. Incorporate the Right Lighting
Lighting transforms the kitchen experience. We combine:
General lighting for the whole space.
Task lighting for work areas.
Ambient lighting to create atmosphere.
5. Choose Efficient, Functional Appliances
Appliance choice impacts both aesthetics and functionality. At Miccoli Interiors, we work with brands such as Miele, Siemens, Bosch, and AEG, selected for their efficiency, design, and durability.
6. Personalise with Details and Accessories
Small details make a big difference: handles, taps, drawer organisers, opening systems, and intelligent storage solutions.
