As a result of social distancing and restaurant closings, we are spending more time than ever in the kitchen. I love to cook and especially bake. There is something very special about preparing and enjoying a meal with family. I also love the creative aspect of playing with various spices and techniques to create your own unique recipes. Growing up, my mom cooked the majority of our meals. She is a wonderful cook and I credit her to my skills and adventurous nature in the kitchen.
All of this time spent cooking at home may inspire you to embark on a kitchen renovation. Maybe a reconfiguration for better access to appliances or a refresh of finishes for a cleaner look?
With this in mind, I thought I would share my top 5 suggestions for kitchen design....
Wash your dishes with a view! And this also creates a great focal point for the room.
There is nothing worse than a massive island that you can’t reach across. This is far too much wasted space and reduces the intimate feel of a kitchen.
Scale is everything when it comes to design. One of my biggest pet peeves is when the lighting is too small in a space, especially over a kitchen island or sink. When in doubt go bigger, rather than smaller.
Get those utensils, spices, and appliances off your counters. I suggest working with a professional to ensure that you’re maximizing your storage space.
Don’t go with something trendy. Stick to timeless selections, your future self will thank you.
