It’s the job of your Orange County kitchen remodeler to create a functional space. It’s easy to get excited about fabulous finishes and amazing appliances, but if your kitchen isn’t functional, it’s a waste of space and money. Cooks want beautiful and functional kitchens. Inspired Remodels, the design and build Orange County kitchen remodeler, designs for high style and function. Here are a few of their tips for designing a kitchen that looks fabulous and makes cooking easy.
This kitchen features multiple workstations
Consider the Cooks
Most kitchen designs accommodate a single cook in the kitchen. The work triangle (sink, refrigerator, and stove) design keeps in mind one cook and allows the single cook to move efficiently.
But modern Orange County kitchens often host more than one cook at a time. Contemporary kitchens serve as a gathering place where families and friends come together to create great food and enjoy good times. When multiple cooks work in the kitchen focus on creating workstations. Workstations for prep, cooking, and cleanup replace the kitchen triangle. Organize these work areas around any appliances needed and create plenty of room to work.
Maybe your cooking style relies heavily on the toaster oven and air fryer and not the full-sized oven. If that’s the case, skip the double ovens and add extra counter space for your toaster oven, air fryer, or pressure cooker that gets a daily workout.
If your home serves as holiday meal central, extra wall ovens and warming drawers make cooking for a crowd a breeze.
Island offers seating in the kitchen
Social Butterfly or Family-Focused?
Is entertaining an important part of your lifestyle or do meals look more like cereal, grilled cheese, and microwave noodle dishes? If your entertaining style goes beyond light appetizers, you need room to cook for a crowd.
On the other hand, if most of your meals are made quickly and eaten even faster, you need kitchen seating that lets you chow down, clean up, and get out quickly. If the family rarely uses the dining room, the kitchen must provide room to cook and eat.
Do you enjoy guests while you cook? An island offers space for you to chat and be social while preparing your spread.
If formal entertaining is more your style, make sure pass-throughs and doors make it easy to carry loaded platters and plates from the kitchen to the dining area. Skip the doorknobs and use levers or swinging doors.
