Whether we are buying furniture, renovating a kitchen or buying a car, we all have to stick to a budget. Any deviations from the allocated amount get us punching our calculators to see how much more our bank’s been dented. It is, hence, a remote possibility that we would even consider spending on the council and services of a luxury kitchen designer while renovating our kitchen. But today we’re here to convince you why consulting an expert designer isn’t such a bad idea after all.
We can already hear you disagree with us in your mind and with fair reason. A luxury kitchen designer does not come cheap. They charge hefty consultation fees, work with a tight schedule and have an overtly fashionable taste in kitchen décor. Despite all this, we would advise you on engaging a good luxury kitchen designer. Here are some points that should convince you:

Planning a Kitchen Work Centre:
Imagine yourself working in the kitchen where you’ll find yourself juggling between the cooktop, the refrigerator and the sink. In kitchen décor jargon, this is what you would call the work centre. Now while it’s easy to walk into a showroom and pick all three, and the areas regarding this where a kitchen designer can help you are:
- Deciding the optimal length of each distance in this triangle of the work centre from a safety and comfort perspective
- The distance of your doorway from these three work points to ensure optimal floor usage and comfort in cooking, without frequent spillage or potential fire accidents due to lack of space.
- Walkway width between these three work centres so that you can move easily and your kitchen doesn’t seem congested.
Clearance:
A skilled kitchen designer should be able to advise you on different space clearances needed when designing your kitchen in order to ensure space optimisation. Such as:
- Vertical clearances between the countertop and the base of your cabinets to plug and use large appliances and to prevent your head from meeting a hit.
- A clearance between the kitchen seats and seating counters to factor.
- A ground-up clearance to place your refrigerator on, in order to protect your floor tiles.
Safety Concerns:
A kitchen designer can help you with finer nuances of kitchen safety such as:
- Never to install heavy commercial appliances in domestic kitchens.
- Not placing the cooking surface below an operable window or any wooden extension.
- Placing the fire extinguisher at the most easily accessible exit point from the kitchen.

Network with Décor Showrooms:
Your luxury kitchen designer can prove to be saving rather than expenditure, after all. Many kitchen designers have, due to their goodwill and networking capabilities, long-standing associations with leading kitchen décor showrooms in the city. These designers are offered a discount at these showrooms, which your kitchen designer will be happy to extend to you as one of the perks of engaging him/her. Getting fancy cabinets that is totally out of your budget will be possible through a nice fat discount. Approach your luxury kitchen designer to help you with this one.
Unmatched aesthetics:
Let’s face it. No amount of personal research is going to help you give your kitchen the look that the finesse and talent of a luxury kitchen designer can. They are professionally trained to design beautiful kitchens and will turn out better than most of our well-researched and thought-out kitchens. Renovating your kitchen isn’t an everyday thing, might as well give it you're all.
These niche design skills and safety measures are pointers that only a kitchen designer can help you to crack. Approach your favourite kitchen showroom to help you choose the right luxury kitchen designer for your kitchen renovation project.
