Custom kitchens, why commission an interior designer?
How to create a beautiful and functional kitchen?
The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house. It is where we most often pass other household members, prepare holiday dishes or experiment with new flavors. In order for this room to serve us well and last for many years of cooking, it is necessary to plan it properly from the very beginning. So how to arrange a kitchen to meet the boldest dreams?
Kitchen design from scratch
Before we get down to any renovation work, we need a good kitchen design. Some people create them themselves, others hire a professional architectural studio. It is worth thinking carefully about which of these services will work better specifically in our case.
Among the advantages of a self-prepared project are:
- completely personalized design, fully tailored to our needs,
- minimization of the cost of creating the plan practically to zero,
- the possibility of continuous control of the project already during its implementation – we know how our project is supposed to look like in real life.
However, such a project also has its drawbacks. Among them, the most important is the lack of appropriate skills. A self-drawn plan can contain many errors, which for a layman will be unnoticeable, while for an interior designer will be downright glaring. Therefore, if we already decide to make a project with our own efforts, it is worth inspecting it with someone who knows the subject a little better and will show us at least the biggest mistakes.
The services of a professional interior designer, on the other hand, is the certainty that the project will be prepared adequately to the basic rules and will be practical. The interior designer has the necessary training to draw the plan taking into account the structure of the building itself, the size of the room and many other factors that amateurs do not have a clue about. Putting the kitchen design in the hands of a professional really has many advantages, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
- hiring a professional costs money, so we need to add to the cost estimate the price of his services, and this is often quite high,
- interior designer is also a human being, so he can also make some mistakes, not have the right knowledge or simply do not apply himself to the work,
- finding a good interior designer will certainly take some time,
- the specialist may not be particularly willing to talk openly, and it may happen that he will not take our opinion into account when creating the design.
Nevertheless, a professional interior designer can be a great solution when we don’t have time to research and prepare a kitchen design ourselves. It’s an additional cost, but at the same time it saves us time and nerves that we could lose to unnecessary mistakes.
Customized kitchen
Whether you take care of the project yourself or hire a specialist, it is worth thinking about such a solution as a customized kitchen. This option includes, among other things, adjusting the size of the furniture and appliances to our room, often the author’s design of the furnishings and adjusting all the elements to our needs. In short, a made-to-measure kitchen is a kitchen that is completely “our way.”
In order to get a made-to-measure kitchen right, you need a good specialist. You can, of course, do the design yourself and order furniture according to our sketch, but such a solution is a huge risk. The furniture is then made to measure, so it is enough to move the tape measure slightly so that the whole construction goes awry, and the order turns out to be completely wrong. Therefore, if you design the kitchen yourself, it is better to opt for furniture available in furniture stores.
However, if we decide on an interior designer, a custom kitchen is a great idea. It will allow us to choose exactly the type of furniture we need. We can also afford less conventional solutions: an oven at chest height or a customized kitchen wall unit. One of the design studios that offer such services is Zielona Gora’s Design and Form Gallery.

Appropriate kitchen design
Once the kitchen is ready, the interior architects and workers have finished their work, and all the formalities have been completed, we can move on to the most pleasant part, that is, the decoration and equipment of our new room. As for the appliances themselves, a good mixer or blender is essential in every kitchen today. In addition, a toaster, sandwich maker or electric grill will be great for quick breakfasts. For coffee lovers, a sturdy coffee maker will also be essential.
Decorations in the kitchen should be matched to the character of the furniture itself. If we decided on a modern style when designing this room, rustic decorations are rather out of place. Likewise, if our kitchen is in dark colors, bright decorations will not look very good. In terms of decor, we can also be helped by an interior designer, who will match the decorations to at least the kitchen countertops, window frames or the tiles and colors on the walls. A good designer knows his stuff and even if we don’t expect him to come up with a plan to decorate the entire room, we can ask him for a little advice. In Zielona Gora we can easily find a specialist who will be happy to help us.
Take care of the new kitchen
At the very end it is most important to keep the new room in the best possible condition. The kitchen is the place most prone to dirt, damage and frequent renovations, so proper maintenance and care of equipment is essential here. It’s worthwhile for us to do regular cleaning here, especially of the refrigerator and condiments. Regular disposal of expired food and proper storage of that which is still edible are very important issues in taking care of any kitchen. Equally important is frequent cleaning of countertops, especially if we are going to prepare at least a cake on them. Therefore, let’s take the best possible care of our new kitchen, as it is really the heart of our home.
