Get More Sunshine in Your Barnsley Kitchen

We all know the health benefits of sufficient sunlight in properties.

In fact, you can save a bundle by allowing natural lights to illuminate your homes and businesses.

Similarly, these rays are essential for maintaining proper Vitamin D levels in our bodies. With this in mind, here are some of the ways to let the sun in - and brighten up your kitchens!

Remove Window Treatments

We recommend removing window treatments entirely to allow more natural light. Your kitchen will surely illuminate like any other room in your home or business. You can also add white sheers of fabric if desired - which secures a more streamlined, centralised and aesthetically-pleasing appearance.

Declutter Your Kitchens

Any season is a good season to de-clutter your kitchens. From kitchen-wares to cutlery, boards, and even appliances, you can clear out items that are not regularly used. Simply place them in beautifully designed cupboards or spaces that we can create for any customized kitchen.

Remove Decorative Elements

You can easily remove decorative objects from the kitchen. While beautiful to look at, these items tend to take up a lot of upper-counter or kitchen table space. You can reclaim negative space, while keeping your kitchens lighter. Another idea is to remove any curtains or window covers that are heavily patterned or styled. These items are essential for privacy - but can truly deflect natural light from beaming into your kitchen daily.

Corian Charging Surface - Smart Work Tops for Your Next Kitchen Design

Your counter-top is important - not only is it your work area in the kitchen, it is also the centerpiece and therefore should be attractive.

More info can be found here: http://buildinginnovations.us.dupont.com/charging-surface

That is why for your next one you should choose a Corian charging surface. This is a counter-top which is designed out of a blend of minerals and acrylic.

It creates a very hard surface that lasts a lifetime. These counter-tops can be customized to look however you want giving your kitchen a unique look.

In addition to that Corian counter-tops come with a wireless integrated charger which allows you to charge your devices fast and conveniently. You will never have to worry about a charger if you install this kind of counter-top in your next kitchen design.

In case you are wondering whether a Corian counter-top is better than a granite one, here are the differences:

• In terms of price they are more or less the same, but what you should keep in mind is that with granite you are buying tiles which means that there will be grouting. Grouting should be avoided at all costs in a counter-top because it is a place for germs to fester. Corian counter-tops are in one continuous sheet.
• In terms of looks some people prefer granite because its color is deeper but it is important to think about this carefully - all that color only means that you may miss stains, smears and crumbs. If you prefer a cleaner look for your kitchen you should choose a Corian counter-top.
• Corian offers a higher return on investment because it doesn't have grout. If you want the same with granite you would have to buy a whole slab of it which is much more expensive. In other words a Corian charging surface will fetch you more when it comes time to sell your home.
• Unlike granite which has to be sealed every few years, Corian is completely non-porous and doesn't require any special kind of maintenance. Installation of a Corian charging surface is easier because the material is lighter and more pliable.

Now that you know that a Corian charging surface is a better option you may be wondering which kitchen design Barnsley service is best to install yours.

We recommend that you use The Kitchen Company.

Still Sweeping Your Kitchen? - 2 Smart Kitchen Design Solutions

Your current kitchen design may have all kinds of clever gadgets and appliances but the truth is that regardless of how modern it is you will need to take a broom to its floor once or twice a week unless you already own a 'smart' sweeping solution for your next kitchen design keep reading.

Unlike other rooms in the home that may have an open layout, the kitchen floor is often hard to get completely clean there are just so many nooks and crannies.

Fortunately sweeping is easy enough - all you need is a broom, a dustpan and a dust collection bag.

That said, there are some things you can do to make it easier to sweep your kitchen floor and even completely automate it.

One is to have a floor that is easy to sweep to start with. There are many types of kitchen floors available from The Kitchen Company, and there are some that are easy to sweep and some that aren't.

When you go shopping for a new kitchen floor try to make sure that you buy one that doesn't have too many grooves and doesn't require grout.

You want nothing to be left on the floor when you done sweeping and if it the floor has groves or grouting was used there will always be something trapped in there. This means it takes longer to sweep clean.

In fact, sweeping may not be enough - to get dirt out of grooves and grout you may literally have to get down on your knees with a vacuum cleaner or use a brush.

If you are not sure what kinds of kitchen floors are easy to sweep and maintain you can talk to your interior designer at The Kitchen Company or your current contractor.

Alternatively, talk to vendor of your floor. If you choose one who is experienced they can tell you a lot about what it takes to maintain different kinds of floors.

The longer you let your kitchen floor stay dirty the harder it is going to be to get it clean.

Many people, after preparing a meal, only clean the countertop. The next time you cook in your kitchen you should also vacuum clean or maintain the floor.

It helps to keep your kitchen 'clean' at all times. If you don't use your kitchen much you may be wondering if this is necessary.

As a matter of fact it is - dust accumulates all the time and if you don't vacuum and sweep or maintain your kitchen and it's floor from time to time the floor will end up becoming a mess.

At The Kitchen Company we also would like to introduce and focus on two new 'Smart Solutions' for vacuuming and sweeping kitchen floors.
