A big kitchen
Why struggle in a tiny kitchen when a few alterations could provide you with a comfortable, spacious room? Investigate the possibilities of opening out your kitchen into an adjoining living or dining room to make an open plan kitchen/ family room that will become the heart of your home. Alternatively, you might be able to enlarge your kitchen by building on an extension. Then, instead of closing your kitchen door when guests arrive, you can invite them into your new entertaining area.
Natural materials
Forget plastics and other man-made materials. All the best kitchens in 2011 will be using natural materials including stone, solid wood and bamboo. Each of these materials comes in many varieties and finishes to suit any décor, but appearance is only part of the appeal. They are also extremely durable and easy to maintain.
