New House Kitchen Design and Kitchen Renovations
Servicing areas from Sydney through the Central Coast to Newcastle, the Taylor Made Solutions team bring more than 50 years of combined experience in designing and installing kitchens. We offer a full service program where we can help with kitchen renovations or start at the beginning with a kitchen design for a new house.
In a kitchen renovation, you have the opportunity to re-think how to best use the space and consider if new cabinetry or storage solutions might make better use of what you have. You may want to consider custom joinery to maximise accessibility of a previously underutilised space, or simply want to turn a dated workspace into a modern kitchen.
With a new home, we accommodate all style and price ranges, from a budget kitchen which is simply practical and works well, to a bespoke kitchen featuring architectural joinery. In both situations, Taylor Made Solutions is a kitchen company that has the know-how to deliver a quality kitchen, manufactured locally on the Central Coast and installed on budget and on time.
Custom Kitchen Design
There are many details and decisions to be made at the start of designing your new or renovated kitchen, with the first for most being deciding the overall look and feel. This is determined by a number of key decisions which we can assist you with.
Decisions to Consider When Designing Your Custom Kitchen
Are you looking just for a budget kitchen for your Central Coast holiday home which is practical and affordable? Or are you looking to make a statement in your dream home on Sydney’s North Shore with a luxury kitchen featuring architectural joinery and premium fittings? No matter what your requirements or where you live, we work with you to customise your kitchen to suit.
Custom Kitchen Joinery and Cabinetry
When you walk into a space, the key element which draws attention is the kitchen’s joinery and cabinetry. As a result, the type of cabinetry you choose will be central to determining the overall impression of your premium kitchen. Within this decision comes two main considerations: door profiles and door finishes.
The main kitchen door profiles are standard flat panels, V Groove, Shaker or Federation styles. Which one you choose might be simply a personal preference, or may be to continue a property’s existing theme.
Cabinetry Finishes
Selecting the most suitable finish for the cabinetry might be linked to reflecting the existing home décor or based on a more practical need such as being fingerprint-free in a young family home. Our design team can advise on the pros and cons of each. Options include:
- Melamine
- Thermo-laminate
- 2-pack polyurethane
- Timber veneer
High End Kitchen Fittings and Fixtures
When it comes to new kitchen fittings and fixtures, Taylor Made Solutions offer a large selection of handles and knobs from modern classic aluminium options with clean lines through to more traditional knobs or antique pull cups.
The combination of door profile and fittings should be paired to complement each other. For example, select a standard flat panel profile to offset decorative handles; opt for V Groove, Shaker or Federation panels where the detailed joinery is the feature; or choose finger-pull panels when seeking a minimalist look with no knobs or handles.
In a kitchen renovation, simply refinishing and updating fixtures might be all that is required to modernise the cabinetry of an older kitchen.
Themes for Your New Kitchen Design
The combination of door profiles and fittings for your customised kitchen may be determined by your personal preference, or may be based on the home’s intended style, theme or even location.
For example, in a kitchen renovation for a Federation-era home in Sydney’s Hornsby Shire, the Federation door profile might be selected with antique pull cup handles to recreate the feel of the era while enjoying the durability and functionality of modern joinery.
For a modern seaside home in Terrigal on the Central Coast, crisp white laminated panels with finger-pull panel doors would deliver a simple, minimalist look to match a breezy beach aesthetic.
Our design team have the expertise to make sure your renovated or customised kitchen functions as well as it looks.
Easy Steps to a Custom Kitchen
Modern Kitchen Design and Installation: Form and Function
For some clients, functionality in kitchen design might take precedence over aesthetics, especially in kitchen renovations in a pre-defined space with restricted options for the placement of appliances or plumbing. Those lucky enough to be starting with a blank canvas, such as in a new kitchen build, can find it daunting to know where to start. Our design team have the expertise to guide to make sure your renovated or customised kitchen functions as well as it looks.
Once practical restrictions have been identified, decisions need to be made on how various elements are expected to be used. For example, some prefer their appliances to be on display, while others want them to be hidden from sight. This is where custom kitchen joinery options can be included to enclose functional elements such refrigerators, dishwashers or appliances behind fitted cabinetry, creating a visually uniform working area.
Behind the Scenes of Your New Kitchen Installation
With your kitchen design taking shape visually, it’s time to consider the hardworking components which will make a difference when it comes to enjoying using your new kitchen.
Modern Kitchen Hinge Systems and Drawers
Taylor Made Solutions offer Blumotion hinge systems from Blum, a superior quality hinge which works in the smallest of spaces. The award-winning Blumotion hinges use innovative technology to integrate seamlessly within the joinery and deliver a soft, silent closing motion on all sizes of doors.
Drawer interiors are also customisable to your storage needs by adding fitted cutlery drawers, spice trays, or by being made to deeper specifications to accommodate larger or heavier items such as dinnerware, pots and pans. We offer Blum Orga-Line dividing systems, which use long and cross-side dividers to keep all types of drawer contents organised and accessible.
To keep your kitchen tidy and manage waste, select from a range of under sink or pull-out drawer bins. Whether used for general rubbish, green waste or recycling, these handy slide out bins make it easy to keep everything contained and out of sight.
Kitchen Storage Solutions
Inside cupboards, storage solutions are available which can be matched to suit the intended primary use. For example, a pull-out kitchen pantry might be on your wish list to make sure frequently used herbs and spices are always close at hand. Or if you have the space, consider the option of a walk-in kitchen pantry, to give a dedicated storage area.
To maximise the useable interiors of your kitchen cabinetry, consider adding Blind Corner Units or Corner Max Units which ensure every centimetre of space is reachable. If your old kitchen has hard to reach spaces, adding a rotating Lazy Suzy Unit when you renovate will let you more easily access just the right cooking dish when it is needed.
