Even if you’re a current family of one remodeling your home in East Brunswick, there’s plenty of value in making the space family friendly. Aside from your own future, there’s the home’s resale value to consider. Plus, you might be surprised to find family-friendly features treating you well down the line. Anyone who’s cracked their head on the corner of a poorly designed kitchen cabinet can tell you that! But what does a family friendly kitchen entail? And how can you achieve it in your next remodeling project? We’ve outlined some great options below to help you answer those questions.
Space To Move
This kitchen, designed by Cubitac Cabinetry, is a great example of negative space. There’s plenty of room to move around. You can grab a stool and set a child up on the end of the counter with simple ingredient prep duties for dinner. Without an island, you don’t need to worry about tripping or catching your hip on a corner. It doesn’t mean giving up on storage or counter space, though. The kitchen cabinets as designed still offer maximal space without taking up a large footprint.
Entertaining Friendly
Whether it’s your child’s friends or other parents, it’s nice to have a kitchen that can entertain others. Much as we all love a good dining room, how many parties have ended up happening right in the kitchen? An island with storage cabinets and seating is a great way to encourage easy relaxing. Plus, it helps keep kids supervised during homework time while you’re cooking.
When Bigger Is Better
Sometimes you just need more space. More storage. More cabinets and drawers. More countertop room. Even a double fridge. If you have a larger family, putting together a kitchen that works for you all can be tough, but it’s worth it. Don’t shy away from adding what you need. Design a kitchen that has room for a second oven. While there are some out there who may scoff at the anti-Minimalist version of your home, you’ll be thanking yourself later. Plus, it’s much easier to deal with more storage now than not enough later on.
