CO-FOUNDER DARREN TANG, DARE SOLUTION

1. Space planning is a key factor, but there’s a lot more to it as well. Kitchen ergonomics plays a huge role too. Kitchen ergonomics is all about the positioning and how suitable everything is to your personal body height, posture and reach. You would want to be able to operate each appliance easily from the low ones to the tall cabinets without straining your back. As such, vertical space planning should not be overlooked.

2. Kitchen storage is necessary for a tidy, aesthetically pleasing and safe space. Overhead cabinets, sufficient drawers and appropriate shelving can help you make the most out of your kitchen.

3. Be sure to plan out your budget and consider your unique lifestyle needs before you start. This makes sure you’re able to prioritise the elements that you personally will use the most. Keep in mind that it pays dividend to invest in high-quality materials and appliances that will ensure long term usage, easy maintenance and high reliability factor.

4. Don’t forget your lighting! Carefully selected lighting is essential for the kitchen ambiance you desire. Darren recommends recessed lights for general illumination, undercabinet lights for task lighting and pendant lights as decorative lights, in accordance to your budgetary considerations. Finally, the location of your power points will complete your dream kitchen!
