Design the Perfect Family Kitchen for Your Home
Kitchens are no longer used as a place to prepare meals and eat them. Instead, people like yourself are using them to sit and talk with family and friends, help their children with homework, pay their bills, and anything else that might come up while they’re in that space.
While some people might not agree with us, we do not think that it is a bad thing that kitchens are being used for more than just-food. Time is precious and if we can all get some more family together time in the kitchen, it is a wonderful thing!
Here are 3 tips that we feel will help you design the perfect family kitchen for your home:
Keep it safe
Little ones can get themselves into anything and everything in no time at all, so we recommend taking the time to make sure that your kitchen is safe. You can choose to place locks on cabinets and drawers that are full of items that children should not touch or you can place those items in cabinets that are out of reach.
Save Space
There are numerous options available to you that will help you save space in your kitchen. A cutting board that pulls out from the counter right above a pull-out garbage can is one of the features that we love. Pull-out pantry cabinets, lazy Susans, and pull-out shelves are other options that we always recommend.
Personalize your kitchen
There are no rules that state that your kitchen needs to look exactly the same as everyone else’s. We recommend that you personalize it with an accent wall, a bold backsplash, family photos, or special mementos that you have collected during your travels. These personal touches will make you stop and smile every time you step into this space.
We know that your kitchen is always going to be busy, so there is one other thing that we would like to recommend. Children are always hungry, especially when you are in the middle of doing something. Therefore, we always recommend placing easy-to-grab snacks and drinks in an area that they can reach all by themselves. This will make your kitchen, even more, family-friendly while you are staying sane at the same time. Call us at (480) 895-3442 to schedule an appointment with us to start making plans.
