Here are 5 simple kitchen design ideas to keep you on track from start to finish.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt"><div style="text-align: center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="282"><param name="movie" value="../images/banners/2b.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="../images/banners/2b.swf" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="282"></embed></object></div></span></p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt"><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>Measure everything -</strong> you need to get the tape measure out and note down the precise dimensions of every part of your kitchen. These numbers are important at many different stages along the design process.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">If you choose to use kitchen design software later down the line, having these measurements to hand will help you get things done far quicker.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>List everything -</strong> write down a list of essential things you must have in your kitchen design. These will be the first things you try to fit in. Once you’ve got everything you need in there, you can make a list of the things you’d ‘like to have’ in your kitchen that perhaps aren’t essential. </p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Lists are useful in kitchen design and help you keep everything organized.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>Keep it together-</strong> make sure that all your kitchen design documents are kept together. Otherwise, at some stage you can guarantee that something you need will go missing at the worst possible time and you’ll be turning your house upside down to find it. Receipts, bills and other documentation are all important. Invest in a proper file and at the very least throw everything into it. Even if you don’t keep things organized, you’ll at least know where to look.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>Get technical -</strong> use kitchen design software to create a detailed 3D image of your kitchen instead of just a crude one dimensional sketch. This will give you a much better idea of how your finished kitchen will look and allow you to change the things that perhaps don’t look as you’d originally envisaged.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>Enjoy yourself -</strong> none of these <a href="http://www.kitchendesignsite.com/category/kitchen-design-ideas" target="_new">kitchen design ideas</a> will make a bit of different to you unless you’re enthusiastic and pro-active in your design.
