Hello World! Welcome Friends! Your kitchen may be one of the most used rooms in the house. As such it is important to have the right space to spend time in, not just for cooking but also for hanging out with your family and guests.

Below we discuss a few kitchen design ideas to help you to optimize this space, no matter what the size. Options from modern to casual or country designs are included below.
Your Hood
The hood of the kitchen unit is an important centerpiece that should bring the entire space together, Afterall it will be where the majority of the cooking will be done.

Mirroring
Shiny stainless-steel appliances add to the décor in ways you may never have thought of. Mirroring these with the surfaces can enhance the look to another level, and metallic looking tops and sides can help make the room look bigger too. Perhaps you can add a gold or silver looking island in the middle of the kitchen, with a pendant light right above it to bring out the shininess and brilliance of it.
Be Adventurous

Adding Extras
Some of the best kitchens in Ottawa can be kitted with marble sinks, and also exposed brick or enhanced with terra cotta tiles around it to match it to the rest of the space. Adding some extra bits and pieces can also work when there isn’t enough space for the whole family.

When your entertaining guests an extra sink can help keep all the dirty dishes to one side and make for a separate worktop so you don’t dirty the main area of the counter.
