Designing a busy family kitchen is more than just about obtaining a detailed kitchen quote from a trusted remodeler. It also involves thoughtful design and inclusion of certain elements that can help make daily life smoother and easier to manage. We take a look at some of them in this blog post.
Ample and Strategic Storage
A busy kitchen should have adequate storage. Having enough cabinets, pantry space and smart storage solutions helps keep everything organized and free of clutter. If you have plans to remodel the kitchen, make sure to include pull-out racks, deep drawers and tall cabinets. With these, you can optimize the space and allow for easier access to kitchen essentials, effectively reducing time spent looking for items.
Functional Layout
When making your kitchen more suitable for a busy household, make sure a functional layout is given importance, not to mention included in your kitchen estimate. You’ll want the workspace to accommodate multiple people at once, allowing everyone to move around without feeling crowded. Enhancing the kitchen’s functionality can be achieved in many ways, including a well-thought-out work triangle, which involves the strategic placement of the stove, sink and refrigerator, an open floor plan, or an adequate countertop space.
Durable, Easy-to-Clean Surfaces
Durable, easy-to-clean surfaces are a must in a high-activity setting like the kitchen. Countertops and flooring that can stand up well to stains and spills are worth looking into, as well as cabinet finishes that can withstand wear and tear.
Multifunctional Appliances and Areas
Consider investing in at least one appliance that provides versatility in terms of multiple tasks. Examples include a refrigerator with customizable storage and a combination microwave convection oven. Also, when designing the kitchen’s layout, consider incorporating a dedicated area for meal preparation or any family activity like doing homework.
