When planning for a kitchen remodel, we think about the look we want to achieve, the new appliances that will save us so much time and energy, and all the wonderful modern materials that will make the space beautiful. Let’s also take a minute to think about how we use our kitchen now, and how we might like to use it in future.

Traditionally kitchens have been viewed as the place to prepare and cook meals. Eating is often done in a separate area: the dining room. This has led to the kitchen being looked upon as a work space. Kitchen remodeling often focuses around terms such as the work triangle, work aisle or work center. Some kitchen remodels highlight the kitchen as a work space by focusing on three basic work space elements: stove, refrigerator and sink areas.

The Live In Kitchen Trend

A trend has developed around the simple fact that as a society, we have begun to use our kitchens in many different ways. With a family member in the kitchen preparing a meal and filling the house with a delicious aroma, others tend to migrant in that direction, to chat, and to work on projects. The kitchen has become much more than a work space.

Multi-purposing rules everywhere these days, including the kitchen. What else do you do while cooking? Help your children with homework? Browse the net for recipes? Watch a favorite television show?

The kitchen is evolving into a live-in room rather than a work space

Modern kitchens often include televisions, desks, computers with internet access and comfortable seating areas. All features that not only allow multi-tasking, but also encourage use of the space more than just at mealtimes. We spend a lot of time in our kitchens, so factoring in comfort and luxury when doing a kitchen remodel is certainly worthwhile.

Would you like to make your kitchen remodel incorporate features that make it easy for your family and guests to relax, gather, and multi-task?
