You love to cook and the most important room in the house, to you, is your kitchen. But, not only do you cook, bake and preserve food for your family, you also cook for friends and neighbors for their special occasions. You thought perhaps a catering business will be nice to have since you already sell your preserved foods. However, your kitchen cannot accommodate a catering service as it is now. You will need a professional kitchen which will require some kitchen design ideas and ultimately, a kitchen renovation.
In preparing your professional kitchen design ideas, you first need to measure you kitchen and consider its shape to see if it can accommodate everything that you will need. Select the places you will have the new professional items that you would like to have installed. Keep in mind that what you would like cannot always be had as there may not be room for it all. You should have alternative kitchen design ideas minus those nice but least important items.
When you think of materials for the new professional kitchen, think stainless steel as this is the preferred surface of all professional cooks. Stainless steel is durable and resists heat and most stains. In your professional kitchen design ideas, you will want to include a hardwood chopping block that will have a waste disposal drawer for all of those peelings and there should be, with it, a marble slab for rolling pastry. You may also consider a freestanding work stations that has everything in it including a sink for washing the fruits and vegetables.
When you are making the calculations for space in your professional kitchen design ideas, do not forget to calculate the height of all of the counters and workspaces. If the height is too low or too high, it will make working in the kitchen unpleasant and tiring. Whether you are going to use gas or electric to cook, it should also be incorporated in your professional kitchen design ideas. Many cooks prefer to use both gas and electric. What size will your ovens be? Keep in mind that you need bigger ovens for the large trays and baking sheets. Do you want grills, griddles and barbecue access? Do you want that barbecue to be charcoal? In order to keep the kitchen cool, dry and comfortable, do not forget to incorporate kitchen hood heat extractors.
Perhaps the most important part of your professional kitchen design ideas should be the lighting in the kitchen. Just overhead lighting is not enough. You need lighting task specific lighting. When you are doing small but definite jobs that need specific attention like decorating a wedding cake or a special dessert, as well as filleting a fish, you need lighting that will light up that space so you will not miss the smallest detail. In your professional kitchen design ideas, make room for track lighting or row type spot lighting or perhaps light in the extractor hoods. Plan well and enjoy your new professional kitchen.
