200+ Kitchen Designs & Cabinets Ideas, for Re-modelling Kenyan Homes

With the passage of time, kitchens have been changing the role they play in Kenyan homes. Until the middle of the last century, they were a workplace where only domestic service and housewives entered.

They have now become one of the preferred spaces to socialize between friends and family. This what we had in mind when preparing this simple yet modern kitchen designs photo gallery.

That is why current Kenyan kitchen designs no longer seek only functionality, but also serve the aesthetic sense and combine with the decoration of the rest of the house.

If you are thinking of renewing yours or need to install a new one from scratch, then we solve a series of fundamental questions that you should consider before starting to design and build it.

What elements should I consider?

1.- The measurements:

First of all, measure well the size of your future kitchen (especially if we talk about small kitchens) so that you do not have to later redo plans or return pieces due to lack of space.

Think about it, when it is time to cook, you will need to be able to circulate without much difficulty, especially if you are more than one person working at the same time.

So do not recharge it with too much furniture or appliances.

2.- The colors:

On this subject we could write hundreds of articles and we would still lack information to cover.

And there are thousands of possible combinations, both of paintings and materials, depending on the size and orientation of the kitchen, as well as of course the decoration of the rest of the house.

If it is well oriented and a lot of light already enters, you can play with darker colors, but if it is rather dark, you should throw in the ranges of white and light colors (the utensils and furniture, on the other hand, should be consistent) .

3.- The decoration of your house:

As we talked about in the previous point, you cannot forget that the kitchen is one more room of your home and, as such, its decoration should combine with the rest. The kitchen cabinet designs should match the rest of the house.

Do you have a rustic house?

Well, do not hesitate to install a rustic kitchen too, with wooden and white furniture and utensils, matching tiles and window curtains.

4.- Lighting:

To prepare food without incident, it is essential to have good lighting.

If you have natural light, take advantage of it and plan the distribution so that nothing interferes with your circulation.

However, if not, bet on low-energy lights (they consume up to 80% less than halogen) and illuminate the different areas separately, so you can also better control your energy expenditure.

5.- Ventilation:

This element is essential, especially since it affects our health. Having adequate ventilation will not only prevent odors from becoming impregnated in our clothes or furniture, but will also prevent us from causing respiratory problems.
