Kitchen Design Ideas for Your Seattle Kitchen Remodel
P
erhaps no room in your home gets more attention than your kitchen. After all, everybody spends time in the kitchen every day. It’s not surprising that the kitchen is also the most popular room to renovate. But you can’t just tear out your existing kitchen and replace it without some prior thought. There are lots of options open to you. Here are just a few to get you started thinking.
There’s a Reason They Call it a Great Room: One way to create a feeling of openness and space in your home is to combine your kitchen and dining room into what’s commonly called a Great Room. People tend to congregate in the kitchen anyway, so why not give everybody a bit more room? It’s great for social events—and normal family living as well. No more getting stuck along in the kitchen for the cook! Here’s an example of how it can look.
Make Your Kitchen Multi-purpose: Once upon a time the kitchen was the exclusive domain of whoever was cooking. It was a functional room (sort of) where food preparation was done. These days, it’s the hub of the house. Sure, we still cook our meals here, but it’s a place for doing homework, having family meetings, and entertaining guests. With some good planning and the help of your friendly builder, you can turn your kitchen into a multi-purpose room that let’s you do all these things comfortably. Take a peek at what we did with one kitchen recently.
Sometimes You Just Need More Space: There are times when you simply need more space in your kitchen. You don’t have to let your current kitchen cramp your style. There are numerous ways to expand your workspace and open up your kitchen so that you have more elbowroom. Here’s a look at how we expanded the kitchen in one Seattle area home.
