Rearrange Your Kitchen With These Handy Tips

Every room in the house needs to be organised properly to allow easy access to storage and appliances, provide room to sit or relax, and to enable users to move around freely. But organisation is doubly important in the kitchen – where it’s essential to access utensils, crockery, stovetops, ovens, and extractor fans, while still maintaining an attractive, spacious feel.

At Faber Group, we create range hoods that will enhance the aesthetics of kitchens. But to enjoy their full benefit, users also need to arrange their cooking spaces in ways that make them easy to use and ergonomic. So here are some handy kitchen organization tips that we always find useful.

Use Walls to Handle Space Constraints

If you have a small kitchen or you want to keep the actual cooking area as compact as possible, it makes sense to use the walls to store essentials. Hanging racks for pots and pans work really well (which is why they are so popular in elite restaurants), and the same applies to herbs or spices.

Racks allow you to cook more efficiently, as the utensils you need are close to hand. They free up cupboard space for ingredients, and in some cases let you do away with cupboards altogether.

Using shelves or racks has another major benefit. They allow you to remove kitchen gadgets like coffee grinders or food processors from work spaces, and store them in accessible positions. That’s much better than leaving them to clutter surfaces that should be reserved for food preparation.

Place Storage Spaces Next to your Dishwasher or Basin

In well organised kitchens, users don’t have to struggle to unload dishwashers or replace the items they use after washing in basins. Instead, drawers or racks are placed close to washing appliances, ensuring that users can restock them in seconds.

This is a time-saving idea, but it’s also safer (avoiding the risk of slippage as you walk around the kitchen). And you’ll find that there’s less need to clean up drips from poorly dried plates or pans.

Good-looking, well-designed countertops can round off any kitchen designKitchen counters are a lot more than just places to chop vegetables or prepare meat. Naturally, providing a space for cooking is their primary role, but they also serve many other purposes. Above all else, they form the centrepiece of kitchen designs. A badly placed or shaped kitchen countertop can ruin the ergonomics and visual effect of a kitchen, so how should you use them?At Faber, we know all about kitchen design, and our range hoods harmonise beautifully with a wide range of countertop styles. So we thought we’d offer a few design tips to help you get started.Make clever use of contrasts in countertopsFirstly, remember that countertops form a relatively slender layer on top of other elements – which could be drawers and cupboards, washing machines, or even ovens. This provides designers with the chance to create match-ups between different materials, giving their kitchen designs added definition and visual impact.Bright and bold is a good way to go. But experiment on paper before committing to anything. And be sure to find colours that match the feel you are aiming for.Countertops: Get the height just rightWhen placing kitchen countertops, ergonomics are all-important. It’s no use purchasing a beautiful slab of marble if it’s too high to be used comfortably. So think about how high your countertop needs to be.Heights will vary from person to person. However, as a rule, experts tend to advise that the surface is placed 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) below the user’s elbow, when they are standing straight and their elbow is bent at 90 degrees in front of them. If you need to add height, think about thicker materials, or using wooden materials to “boost” the height of the countertop. It could make them much more comfortable to use.Choose the perfect material to accent your kitchenWhen choosing a kitchen countertop, you’ll come across no shortage of materials. From zinc and steel, to marble, wood, granite, and patterned stone, the range of options is really diverse, and choosing the correct material can make all the difference.If you have a small kitchen, paying extra for premium materials can add a touch of elegance that isn’t easy to create with limited space available. And, whatever size of kitchen you are furnishing, it’s important to pick a countertop material that suits your appliances and furnishings.At Faber, our rangehoodsall offer premium aesthetics that will combine well with marble or metallic countertops. Have a look around our catalogue, and visualise how our accessories would look with your chosen material. Then create the kitchen of your dreams. Read more +
