Welcome back to another Design Guide! With Cool Kitchen Stuff released today, I thought doing a kitchen room guide would be helpful for you guys. This is a modern room build I did a while back, and one of my favourites. Kitchens are the heart of any home, and so deserve significant time and effort in making them suitable for your home.

For a modern kitchen you want to make sure your walls and flooring are suitable for a kitchen.  Tile or laminate are best for kitchen floors in case any food or liquid is dropped. Also, kitchens get a lot of foot traffic and so tile or laminate flooring can withstand longer wear and tear. Choose either light or dark flooring to complement your colour scheme.

Walls should be tile or brick, especially behind the stove and sink for backsplash of food or liquid.  I like to combine tile or brick with painted walls to make the room feel wider and have some texture contrast.

I love red in my kitchens and dining rooms. Apparently the colour red also promotes hunger, or a feeling of wanting to eat. Your kitchen can be any colour you want! Make it all orange, all bright green. For modern kitchens, colours are your friends. For classic kitchens or country style kitchens, light or pale colours are more suitable.

Don’t forget cupboards and counters.  The Sims 4 is great for the flexibility in cupboard and counter styles and shapes. Experiment with the different sizes and facings to figure out what suits your kitchen best.

Finally make sure the lighting in your kitchen is bright. Lights and lots of windows will keep the kitchen a bright and inviting area for your Sims, and for you!
