ENVISION THE DESIGN: After knowing your kitchen size and design, consider the flow of your kitchen-where your appliances will be kept. If you can, sketch it so that you can remember. Start by scribbling down all the features of your dream kitchen, and then include tangible ideas that a designer or a friend can help with.

SEARCH FOR INSPIRATION:Knowing the design you would want for your kitchen can be tasking. Thankfully, Pinterest, Telegram, Quora, among others, have sections where you can get pictures, tips and tricks as well as help to figure out the elements you would want to incorporate into the space.

Also, a trick to getting appliances at a better price is to check the price range or just window shop before you make your decision. But if there is a discount, indulge away.

HIRE A CARPENTER:Do not overlook your next-door carpenter. If after searching for a particular design of cabinet or if you have a design in mind, sketch and give to your carpenter.

Having these unique items will give people the thoughts that everything in your kitchen is delicate. Do not know where to find them? You can check your favourite malls, the markets or your favourite online kitchen thrift stores.

KITCHEN FLOORING: Depending on the type of flooring you want, floor tiles add the pop to your kitchen. If you don’t want the wooden ones, you can go for the mixed tiles option. If preferred, mix the whole and broken tiles and get someone with an artistic eye to create a nice design.
