One of the key selling points of a home is the kitchen. Its where we cook, eat, socialise, spend time with the family and over the last few years it’s even been a place that we have worked and studied!
It’s important that your kitchen works for the whole family so here are some tips to help you design a kitchen that works for everyone.
If you’re planning a new kitchen there are lots of extras you can include in the design to make the space work.
Kitchen table
It’s useful to have a table in your kitchen if you can – especially when it comes to selling as potential buyers will see it as a more practical room for the family. A clean surface provides space to not only eat with your family but to do schoolwork, arts and crafts and play whilst you are cooking and can keep an eye on the children.
If space is limited there are several space-saving options including banquette seating and tables that have seating that tucks under to prevent chairs sticking out and taking up valuable floor space. Another option is to have a breakfast bar that can collapse when not in use.
Display areas
For many people the fridge becomes overcrowded with paintings and reminders – so consider a dedicated spot for artwork, photos and certificates from school. You can have a single white wall with a magnetic noticeboard or even magnetic paint making it easy to stick things up. You can also purchase a large blackboard wall calendar to help to stay organised without lots of pieces of paper everywhere!
Clear the clutter
Encourage your children to help in the kitchen by making plenty of worktop space. Remove items that are only used once every few days to keep the kitchen looking clear and clutter free. Invest in a step boost for children so they can help out too.
