Your family is going to be spending a lot of time in your kitchen, from eating to socializing to finding comfort in the early morning. When you renovate, you should be planning for the most efficient kitchen.
Sometimes, we forget that our kitchens are the central focus of our home. Living rooms are great for bonding, and bedrooms are fantastic for personalization, but kitchens are where you can combine all of that into one room. Your family is going to be spending a lot of time in your kitchen, from eating to socializing to finding comfort in the early morning. When you renovate, you should be planning for the most efficient kitchen. Here are some tips to keep a kitchen working towards your needs.
Storage
This is probably the most important way to keep up efficiency. Unfortunately, we often underestimate how much storage space we need in general. But keeping things uncluttered is essential to having an efficient home. You want as much counter space as possible, but you don’t want to sell yourself short on how much access you have to your tools. Whether it’s adding more cabinets, or saving space with a pull-out trash can, extra storage helps every time.
Multimedia
Remember the 90’s, when all families had an illusive Computer Room? Usually, this was a spare bedroom or area of the house where a computer resided, because it simply took up that much space. Luckily, this is 2016, and a computer barely takes up a countertop. Adding a laptop desk, a space for a computer, or even a wall-mounted television can keep all of your entertainment in the same room while you cook or prepare for guests. It maximizes efficiency because, not only are you saving space in other rooms, but you’re also adding even more functionality to your kitchen space.
Updated Appliances
Efficiency is much easier when your appliances are in order. Your fridge should have enough space to house all of your food without looking cluttered–there are plenty on the market that make this easy! Take a look around your local home improvement store and see what combinations they have to offer. Also, make sure you’re going green with your decisions. This is vital for saving energy, money, and often, time.
