Whether you have an only child or your family is large enough to make up their own baseball team, a functional kitchen is vital for easy living. Early mornings before school and work can get frustrating quickly. Not enough counter space. Too few access points. Someone always blocking the fridge. But with the right kitchen cabinet layout, you can avoid many of these frustrations and more. If you’re a family remodeling your East Brunswick kitchen, read on for some ideas to keep your household running smoothly.
Split the Difference
Now, those of you who ascribe to easy-flow kitchens might pull your hair out at this one. If you’re trying to fit a few extra people into your kitchen, though, don’t scoff just yet. Separating your appliances throughout your kitchen cabinets is a good way to allow each task some breathing room. Perhaps your microwave is on one wall or countertop. Your dishwasher is across the way. And then you have the oven and sink clear on the other side of the room. While it might mean a few more steps while making an elaborate dinner, it could also make a smooth and easy time with your teenager and their two younger siblings come 6 o’clock in the morning.
Island Eating
Alas, we don’t mean a trip to Hawai’i with this one. If you have (or are planning to have) an island between your sets of kitchen cabinets, it’s a great idea to have some seating there for the kids. Let’s be honest here. Your 8 year old probably shouldn’t be out of sight for too long, especially before you’ve had your morning cup of coffee. Plop them down right in the kitchen and you can rest a little bit easier. We’ll leave the entertainment ideas up to you, though.
Taller Kitchen Cabinets
Do you have any younger kids in the house? Chances are you also have a few pantry items of kitchen tools you don’t want them digging into. With taller kitchen cabinets, you can safely store these things without letting it keep you up at night. Oh, and this is a great tip for more fragile items, too, like grandma’s china.
