Specializing Kitchen Work Centers

12/22/2012

 
When planning your kitchen, reflect on the many activities, from cooking to working to socializing, that take place in your kitchen, and gear specific areas of the kitchen to those activities and other special interest. For example, if you or other cooks in your family love to bake, design an area that will conveniently house all your baking supplies and cookware, and consider installing a cool marble countertop, which is perfect for rolling out pastries. If possible, this countert space area should be at least 36 un-interrupted inches, and you should consider making this section of your counter a little lower than standard, for greater comfort when rolling out dough.

Would you enjoy a coffee or beverage center? If you frequently entertain, you should scope out a spot outside the main work triangle and design an area with a second sink, a small refrigerator, a separate ice-maker, a wine cooler, and perhaps a mini media center.  If you have pets, consider installing a pet feeding station into a lower drawer in the kitchen. If you want to do chores like ironing near other activity centers, consider installing a pullout or fold-down ironing board, which disappears if not in use.

If you have space for a keeping room or other area with a fireplace, you will be able to capture and savor that precious moment of relaxing in front of a fire, sipping your morning coffee before heading out for the mad rush of the day.  If your children do their homeowner in the kitchen, make sure you include a place for their supplies and other often-needed items. Gardening and potting lovers should plan for a special nook themselves.  Keep everything you need for gardening in a handy spot so you can sneak in your hobby during any spare moment. You might also consider a craft center for you and your kids or a place for a sewing machine and other mending supplies.

Today's kitchen truly is the center of the home. The key is to make it accessible, open, light and friendly, not to mention - efficient. Weighing options before you beging your remodeling job will only increase your enjoyment later.
