4 Ways To Tell When Your Room Is Finished Featuring Kitchen Unit Doors

One of the most challenging aspects of designing any room in your home is deciding when it’s complete. It’s often tempting to continue adding new accessories or to go back and forth on your colour choices, particularly if you’re fond of antique shops, enjoy refreshing your home seasonally, or always keep an eye on interior trends. 

However, the ability to decisively say when a room is complete is both a skill and a key part of good interior design. So, while there aren’t any hard and fast rules to follow when it comes to honing this skill, here are a few interior designer-approved tips that could help you to decide when you can sit back, relax and really soak in your hard work with the knowledge that your kitchen is finished.

4 Ways to Tell You Kitchen is Done

Your space has room to breathe 

A well-designed space has room to breathe, and by this we mean that you can really appreciate every single item you’ve chosen to include precisely because you haven’t overfilled every available surface.

Plus, ensuring that you’re not trying to incorporate too much from the outset will enable your space to evolve and develop over time as you invest in new pieces that bring you joy. It’s natural to want your home to grow with you, so don’t be afraid to make changes here and there so that your kitchen continues to provide you and your family with a welcome sanctuary away from the busy outside world.

You feel calm whenever you step inside 

Even the wildest maximalist design schemes will ensure a sense of calm washes over you when they’re finished. No space in your home should ever make you feel overwhelmed when you walk inside, so when you start to feel content and stop finding elements you think you could improve, this is a solid sign that you’ve fully realised your design intentions.

Pro Tip: When spending time in a room, ask yourself if it’s a space that is allowing you to relax and feel comfortable. If the answer to that question is yes, then you can be pretty certain that you’ve made all the right choices.

Your space looks great in pictures 

While spending time looking at your space with the naked eye is important, you may be surprised at just how much you can learn by taking out your camera or phone and snapping a few photographs. 

When looking at a room through a lens, we recommend paying attention to how balanced your space feels and whether there are any areas that perhaps feel incomplete. From here, you can start to think about precisely what’s missing, whether that’s a splash of colour or a new accessory.

Pro Tip: If you do feel as though something isn’t quite right in your kitchen, don’t automatically assume that a big change is needed. Even something as small and as affordable as replacing the handles on your kitchen unit doors can make a huge difference.

Your space is beautiful and functional 

As well as looking pleasing to the eye, you need every room in your home to be functional and support your lifestyle. Think about what you want your kitchen to offer and ensure that you’re choosing appliances, pieces of furniture and decorative accents that will allow you to experience your home in a way that suits you.

When designing your kitchen, spend some time carefully planning the precise location of your most important appliances and ensuring that you’ve got enough storage to keep your room free from clutter. 

Pro Tip: If your current kitchen layout works for you but the style just doesn’t make you happy, you may want to consider replacing your kitchen unit doors.
