Your kitchen is the one room in your home that is open to all, any time of day. Every member of the family uses the kitchen and not just for cooking or eating. The kitchen may be a place where homework or school projects are accomplished or a place we invite our friends to share. Whatever activities your kitchen is used for, the breadth of its purpose dictates that all should feel comfortable and welcome there.
Striving to make your kitchen a family-friendly space need not be expensive or elaborate. A few simple changes can make the difference between a welcoming kitchen that can be effectively used by the entire family or a space to be avoided at all costs!
Making space in your kitchen for everything that goes on there may be the biggest challenge that most of us face. Eliminating kitchen clutter and having plenty of storage for useful items, as well as creating plenty of surfaces on which to work or play is a fundamental feature of a cozy kitchen. Appropriate heights for work surfaces allow both children and adults to accomplish tasks comfortably and simultaneously. A flowing design that allows for easy access to foods, utensils and cleaning areas helps everyone contribute.
Your kitchen is the perfect place to display the artistic creations of family members. Refrigerator magnets, family photos and memorabilia can make your kitchen decor more family-friendly and inclusive. A bright kitchen space with contrasting color schemes makes a dynamic and inviting place to share family time.
