Whether it’s a space for entertaining, preparing or eating, your kitchen should be designed to suit your needs (Picture: B&Q)

Start by gathering a vision board using inspiration from B&Q’s Pinterest or interior design magazines, along with a few ideas you borrowed from your friends’ homes to get a feel for the trends you like best.

B&Q’s new Kitchen Visualiser brings the kitchen to life during the planning process, so you will get a real feel for how your new room will look before opting on your final design. And the best bit is that you can do it all from your own home. Maybe you’ll like the look of the Artemisia Kitchen (available in a choice of four shades) or something like the Garcinia Matt Stone Kitchen with integrated cupboard handles?

Whatever you choose, you’ll find something for every taste at B&Q.
