How to Make an Enticing Kitchen for Friends and Family

More than just a place for preparing meals, the kitchen is the part of the house where friends and family gather. It only follows that your kitchen needs to be a comfortable and inviting place. Before you schedule an appointment for a kitchen estimate, read on as DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno shares insight on how to transform your kitchen into the ultimate gathering spot for friends and family.

Create an Open Atmosphere

Open spaces entice people to stay in a place. A cluttered kitchen would look cramped and uninviting even with enough space, so the first thing you need to do is keep things organized. If your kitchen does not have enough storage, include additional cabinets in your remodeling checklist. Light colors, high ceilings and lots of natural light can also contribute to a spacious kitchen.

Add a Custom Island

A kitchen island is the perfect multipurpose space — it’s a prep area, an informal dining table, and a service table for large gatherings. Family members can gather here by making it an activity or study table. You can invite friends over for drinks or coffee, with the island serving as your bar. If your kitchen doesn’t already have one, make sure it is included in your kitchen quote.

Connect to the Yard

If your kitchen remodeling plans allow changes to the floor plan, consider opening up your kitchen by having it connect to a deck or patio, by way of a patio door. It creates a greater space where your kitchen becomes an extension of your yard, and vice versa. A patio door also has the additional advantage of allowing more natural light into the kitchen, which can give it a more spacious and inviting look.
