The Kitchen Remodel: Designing the ❤ of Your Home

For many years, the living room was considered the heart of the home, and the kitchen was a utilitarian space, designed largely for meal preparation. However these days the title of “heart of the home” goes to the kitchen. The kitchen is the center of the modern home, and any successful kitchen remodel should focus on creating a space that is designed for living.

The desire to make the kitchen the social center of the home dovetails with another trend-the fact that Americans today are choosing to stay in the same home longer. As people age in place, their kitchen remodels must also account for different life-stage needs. A young family of four will have very different needs, priorities, and a different way of living compared to a bachelor, an empty nester, or a young professional with no kids. Modern, open kitchen designs can adapt to all those needs, but can also evolve as priorities change over time.

Before beginning a kitchen remodel, consider how each family member, friends, and even pets might use the space. Your perfect kitchen could combine a cook’s paradise, a space to sip coffee while reading email, and a place for kids to do crafts and homework. Or you may desire a kitchen that affords you unencumbered views of surrounding nature, and a place to enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day. However you envision the space being used, you’ll want to design your kitchen to accommodate a number of needs without making the space feel too crowded.
