Common Kitchen Forms:

• A single file kitchen has all the units along one wall. This is usually the solution for small spaces.
• The galley or corridor type of kitchen has two rows of cabinets at opposite walls, one containing the stove and the sink, the other the fridge and other appliances. This is considered to be the classical work kitchen.
• In an L-kitchen, the cabinets occupy two adjacent walls, the work triangle is preserved, and there may even be space for an additional table.
• A U-kitchen has cabinets along three walls, typically with the sink at the base of the "U". This is a typical work kitchen for most designers and homeowners.
• The block kitchen is a recent development, typically found in open-plan kitchens. It has a freestanding island and allows more space for movement, especially when there's more than one person cooking at the same time.

Some Useful Tips for Kitchen Design

• Plan the main working areas such as the sink, food preparation counter or table so that they are close together.
• If you decide on a two-way galley kitchen, make sure you measure the size of the kitchen and the exact shape of the walls, so as to leave enough walking space between the two galleys.
• If choosing a U-shaped kitchen, consider the floor space you will have left and consider using one of the legs of the 'U' as a breakfast bar or a working table.
• Create more head space by making the wall-cupboards taller, rather than having them protruding outwards as this will also make the kitchen look wider. Storage for heavy items in the cupboards should be underneath the worktop.
• To create more order, use special drawer organizers. Store your utensils near to where you are most likely to use them as this way they will be within easy reach.
• Keep your worktop clutter-free for a tidy look. This will make your kitchen more efficient.

Ultimately it's you who is going to be spending all the time in the kitchen so why not design your own kitchen - that kitchen you've been dreaming of for all your life.

By Alix Aaron

If you are looking forward to give your kitchen a face lift, but are looking for suggestions and ideas, why not go for glass. It can be crafted around your kitchen to create an extremely appealing look. An impervious material such as glass will practically be best suited in the kitchen as it is resistant to dirt and can be cleaned quite easily.

One innovative use of glass can be in the form of glass splashbacks, designed perfectly for your kitchen so that all extractors, sockets and wall units among others, are taken into consideration in the template stage and that adequate cut-outs can be machined into the glass before the toughening process. As the glass will be toughened you can believe that the glass will be strong and will have no problem dealing with various sources of heat sources in the kitchen such as cookers, hot plates, stoves etc.

Splashbacks are glass installations that work as an insulating layer between substances and other parts of a given structure. Splashbacks turns out to be extremely useful in situations where you know that a given structure, fitting or piece of furniture is likely to be exposed to variety of substance that could probably damage it in the due course of time. Best examples of this include wooden dressers being exposed to bathroom moisture, kitchen areas being exposed to cooking materials, like oil, and washroom areas being exposed to water from shower.

Kitchen is the most important part of the house. It is that room of your home where you cook your food and enjoy it with your family. Even if you have a cozy kitchen, nicely decorated with colourful tiles and countertops, still, your kitchen décor is inadequate without a glass backsplash. They add immense beauty and style to your kitchen. Kitchen splashbacks can hugely influence the overall look of your kitchen. They shimmer and shine and give a classy touch to your kitchens.

Glass Splashbacks come in variety of exuberant colours. Fresh green, to seductive fuschia pink and from the subtle and pacifying sea blue to the scintillate gold. You set your imagination running and find the colour available in the market.

Glass splashbacks panels come in a wide range of sizes to suite your kitchen. They come along with a self-adhesive backing, which makes them extremely hassle-free to install. Not only this, they are made of strong glass, which makes it difficult to break. Therefore these glass splashbacks accommodate to all required BS standards.

The magic of splashbacks can be enhanced incredibility by setting up matching glass 'upstands'. An upstand is a glass panel that rests against the wall extending up from the countertop, making a beautiful embellishment that can extend to the length and breadth of the kitchen. Contrary to tiles, the size of these panels mean the joins are reduced to a bare minimum making them far easier to clean and less subjected to dirt and germs.

Glass Splashbacks is surely the smartest embellishment in kitchen décor as not only does it give a fabulous look but is also creates extremely hygienic space. Kitchen splashbacks is most appropriate for all those applications where heat is unavoidable. The Diamante Glass, which is mostly used for making frameless shower screen and kitchen splashbacks, has a lower iron content giving extreme optical clearness to the surface.
