Kitchen Layout Ideas: Tailoring to Your Space and Lifestyle 

The first step in good kitchen planning is understanding the space you have to work with and planning a kitchen layout accordingly. Our expert designers at Classique Kitchens will recommend the ideal layout based on your existing space, ensuring every available corner is effectively utilised. If you live in a smaller home, for example, we will suggest a layout such as L-shaped or galley kitchen to open up the area.

A good kitchen design is also one that reflects your lifestyle. Our designers know it’s always important to consider questions about your daily habits. For example, are you an avid cook who loves to entertain? In this case an island with seating could be your kitchen’s focal point, allowing guests to gather and chat while you prepare meals. For busy families, an L-shaped kitchen with a breakfast nook might offer the efficiency and convenience you need.

Considering Functionality in Kitchen Planning Ideas 

When planning a kitchen layout, it’s important to consider how different materials, colours, and lighting will all contribute to an efficient space that aligns with your vision. Durable worktops and easy-to-clean finishes will help you maintain a pristine kitchen, especially if your space sees lots of daily activity. Lighting, both natural and artificial, plays a crucial role too. Layered lighting solutions can create a warm and inviting atmosphere, making your kitchen not just a place to cook, but also to live and enjoy. 

Keep in mind that clutter can quickly compromise even the best kitchen planning ideas, which is why we offer a range of innovative storage solutions that can help you maintain a tidy and functional space. Think pull-out drawers for pots and pans, appliance garages for smaller appliances, and pantry cabinets for dry goods. Storage options tailored to you and your needs will keep your kitchen organised while also ensuring everything is easily accessible. 

Collaborate with Professionals Who Understand Good Kitchen Design 

While gathering kitchen layout ideas, working with a professional kitchen company such as ourselves at Classique Kitchens in Carlisle or Workington will ensure every part of your kitchen is bespoke to you and your household. Our expert designers can offer crucial insights and innovations you might not have otherwise considered, helping you achieve a kitchen that is not only beautiful but also perfectly suited to your needs.

I would 100% recommend Paul at Classique. From the minute I walked through the door he was attentive and really knows his stuff. We spent a bit of time considering options and nothing was too much trouble. His communication skills were brilliant also. I’m in love with my kitchen which is fitted to a very high standard. This kitchen company is amazing and very personal. I was unsure wether to get a quote as I thought it would be well out of our budget but these are very reasonably priced and high quality! Can’t thank Paul enough and I would use again in a heartbeat! Thank you Paul and Kelly 😀

Huge thank you to Kelly & Paul for their professional, friendly and knowledgable service. Our kitchen is better than I imagined. Paul listened to exactly what I wanted and he delivered above and beyond. My kitchen, utility and bar unit is outstanding. I can not thank them enough and I will never recommend anyone else. The quality is outstanding. The price is competitive. Kelly was always at the end of the phone to make sure I was happy with our plans and everything was just what we wanted. Our fitter was blown away with the ease of putting the kitchen together, all parts were there as well as extras and the build of the units is amazing. We looked at various kitchen companies and no one comes close on quality and price. Absolutely amazing! Thank you!!

Paul & Kelly both have a wonderful eye for design, the quality of the products they sell is top notch and the value they offer is un-matched.

Highly recommended if you are looking for a new kitchen in the Carlisle Area.

Absolutely delighted with our finished kitchen and utility, exactly what we asked for, the finish and quality is exceptional and looks amazing and gave us the finish and ambiance we wanted. Paul guided and advised us every step of the way from door handles, work tops door finishes, he asked what we were looking for and came up with ideas and then we went from there.. Professional experts who were just as pleased with their work as we were, delivered what they said they would when they said they would. Highly recommend @EntitiyHomes and @ClassiqueKitchens .

Paul at Classique Kitchens has always understood our needs when designing our difference schemes. He’s helped us with our kitchen, utility room and also adding in a coffee bar.
It’s a family run business and everything feels very personalised. Paul’s dad completes this fitting and has a lot of care and attention and understanding when fitting the units into our space. You can leave them to it and they will let you know when they need anything.
We would use this company again and highly recommend. Great family run business!

We researched a lot of Kitchen companies prior to choosing Classique Kitchens. Kelly was fabulous from the minute we walked into the showroom. She took the time to get the design just exactly how we wanted.

Their prices were the best we could find for the quality provided.

Installation was perfect and the guys really made sure the fitting was perfect. Any issues along the way were quickly dealt with.

The Kitchen is just exactly what we wanted and looks amazing. I would certainly recommend Classique Kitchens to anyone.

We are absolutely delighted with our new kitchen from Paul at classique kitchens… from the design, cost, exceptional attention to detail and quality of the kitchen it has been such a positive experience working with Paul and his team. No sales nonsense …just an honest exceptional service from start to finish. Paul responded instantly to any questions asked and gave advice when asked. Pauls dad and brother fitted the kitchen for us and worked non stop. Came when they said they would and worked around our other trades to complete this project without complaint.

The best in Cumbria by far!!
We recently had our kitchen supplied and fitted and from the minute we walked into his showroom in Workington the level of professionalism was outstanding. Paul talked us through what we had in our minds and said he could supply what we wanted plus more and he hasn’t disappointed. Everyone has an image of what they want and how they want it layed out and we were no different the only thing was Paul said ‘I can do it better’ and with the exception of the design of the corner pantry that the Mrs was stuck on (and rightly so as it works a treat) the final result is stunning. We had checked out all the local suppliers and had also travelled to Carlisle to check out what they had to offer but had missed his showroom but luckily he had just opened the Workington showroom and his prices blew everyone out of the water so much so we upgraded every appliance and added an integrated dishwasher even though we had a stand alone one. The best around by far you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely brilliant service from Paul the owner of CK Kitchens.
He was very patient and very helpful even though I changed the design umpteen times.
The kitchen once ordered arrived on time but unfortunately I wasn’t ready to install it which wasn’t a problem as Paul offered to store it for me until I was ready.
I chose to have my own Joiner to install the kitchen who was very impressed with the kitchen and said he would be recommending ck kitchens to his future customers.
This is the first time I have used CK Kitchens as I always expected them to be out of my price range but I was very surprised at how reasonable they are especially for the quality and the design.
I will be recommending them to all
My friends in the future.

We are absolutely thrilled with our new “wow” kitchen installed by this family run business based on port road Carlisle. Our grateful thanks to Paul who designed the kitchen and recommended what we should have and also his wife Kelly on her advice . Mike Paul’s dad and his other son Micheal did all the fitting which was carried out in a very clean tidy professional way and to a very high standard . The units are German made and of top quality and great value for money . We would certainly recommend classique kitchens to anyone considering getting a new kitchen . We cannot thank all the team including the plasterer electrician , plumber, fitters and designer enough on a first class job .
