Now, you’ve just watched one of your favourite movies… well maybe not your favourite but you enjoyed it. While watching the numerous scenes, nothing really piques your interest except the amazingly flawless interior of the kitchen the producer decided to use in the protagonist’s house.
Here you are scrolling from top to bottom, opening a million and one tabs just to see what you can find. What you can implement to take your simple kitchen from basic to an out-of-this-world kitchen.
You’ve researched enough but still don’t know how to go about upgrading your kitchen design. You’ve got no idea how much to set aside as a budget for your kitchen planning. There are so many questions you obviously can’t answer by yourself.
A few of these questions will be answered in this article on how to go about upgrading your kitchen layout.
Q: IS IT NECESSARY TO MATCH ALL YOUR FINISHES WHEN CHANGING LIGHTING AND HARDWARE?

A: Yes, you can mix and match your finishes. But we would recommend sticking with one material for at most 3 finishes. A Brass fixture would look great with similarly toned brass pulls and would be a nice contrast with your chrome fixtures. Give it a try!
Q: WHAT KIND OF FLOORING IS IDEAL FOR A KITCHEN DESIGN?

A: The greatest option for your kitchen floor is tile. In most modern homes in Nigeria, you are sure to find this kind of flooring. It’s also used on the walls because most people like porcelain tiles. They are strong, impervious to water, smudge-proof, non-porous, and simple to clean. A high-traffic area of your home that is prone to spills and messes would benefit greatly from this combination.
Although it is not waterproof, hardwood is a sturdy alternative. This is not a deal-breaker, but it does mean that you must wipe up spills right once to prevent harm to the flooring.
Q: SHOULD ALL MY CABINET HARDWARE BE THE SAME SIZE IN KITCHEN DESIGN?
![Kitchen design cabinets](https://design-stories.zynoplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/kitchen-design-cabinets-1024x683.jpg)
A: Cabinet hardware does not have to be all the same size. It is solely dependent on your preference, and what works best for your size of doors and drawers.
You might want to match your cabinet hardware but also consider how the colour of the cabinet complements the hardware.
Q: SHOULD MY KITCHEN CABINETS BE PAINTED?

A: Painting your kitchen cabinets is a wonderful idea. You can paint when the current finish feels out-of-date and the cabinets look worn. Or if you simply want to give your kitchen a fresh look, painting gives you a quick transformation. It is also a better economical choice. Even if you are not forced into making the most economical decision, painting is still an attractive option because it gives you more money to spend elsewhere. New cabinet kitchen designs plus installation can cost almost half of your kitchen renovation budget. It still balls down to your preference and pocket.
Q: HOW CAN I HAVE MORE STORAGE IN A SMALL KITCHEN?

A: Having to utilize a small kitchen has been a pain in the neck. This is especially true when you’ve accumulated so many kitchen utensils and equipment from previous years or from having a former larger kitchen. The best thing is to take advantage of every space possible. From investing in trendy in-cabinet storage items or turning your utensils into decor by hanging them neatly on the wall. Just open your mind and be creative. There’s so much more space than you think in your little kitchen.
