Notice the daily frustrations
For a few days, note the things that get in the way: too little preparation space, awkward cupboards or a busy route through the kitchen.
Make a storage list
Think about the items you use daily and those that only come out occasionally. Grouping them helps you explain what useful storage looks like for you.
Think about everyone using the room
Cooking, eating and spending time together can overlap. Explain who uses the kitchen and when it feels most crowded.
Build a clear brief
Collect examples of finishes you like, but keep your practical needs alongside them. Discuss the layout and installation scope before making final selections.
