88 Kitchen Design EACH KITCHEN DESIGN IS A FULL PROJECT IN ITS OWN RIGHT THAT REQUIRES UNDERSTANDING IN CABINETRY, SPACE CIRCULATION, MATERIALS AND LIGHTING. THANKFULLY WE’VE GOT A PROFESSIONAL, WADIH BACHOUR OF KLIF – KITCHEN LIGHTING AND FURNITURE PROFESSIONALS – FOR THE DUSTY, MESSY JOURNEY OF KITCHEN REMODELING

Elegance
KLIF's approach to kitchen design is quite simple because they tend to make it the most practical, minimizing circulation between the three main zones: cooking, washing, cooling storage (fridge/freezer).
THE ACTUAL DESIGN PROCESS IS SEPARATED INTO FOUR STAGES: • Stage 1 Preliminary design based on the first meeting; lay-outs, elevations, materials and budgeting. • Stage 2 KLIF develops design details, rendered elevations and 3D modeling. • Stage 3 On-site measurements and preparation of electrical-mechanical drawings based on site constraints and final selection of appliances. • Stage 4 Internal construction drawings for production.
WADIH RECOMMENDS… • Two basket or pan drawers instead of turning doors for storage. • Two large drawers under sink instead of two turning doors. • Limit the slim drawers only for the first two drawers. • Dishwasher on the left is sometimes the solution. • Integrated hood in wall cabinet (instead of free standing). • Minimize push to open door or drawer. • Minimize 60cm door widths. • Linear LED lighting instead of individual downlights. • Sink and cooking hub as close to each other as possible.
