Throughout the years of being involved in the custom home building industry, we have discovered that the most favorite room in the home is the kitchen. That is not too surprising since it is the place where family and friends gather to share meals, engage in conversation, enjoy a cup of coffee and reconnect at the end of the day. Because of the versatility of this room, there are several things that you will want to consider when planning your ideal kitchen.
One of the things that you will need to analyze is your budget. The majority of the costs will be spent on flooring, appliances, cabinets and countertops. You need to consider the way you live and what items are most important to you. If cooking is not that important to you, you may not want to invest in the top of the line appliances. On the other hand, if you are an aspiring Martha Stewart or Rachael Ray, state of the art appliances might be exactly what you need.
Another item you will want to consider is how you use your kitchen. Is it the gathering place for your family and friends? Do you want separate work areas and gathering areas so that everyone can have enough space and feel comfortable? Is a smaller cozier kitchen more appealing to you?
You will also want to think about the type of flooring you want in that room and how that will fit into the rest of your home. Ceramic tile tends to be harder on the feet and not as forgiving when you drop something unexpectedly however; it gives a classic look and there are so many incredible textures, colors and designs available! Hardwood flooring is another option that is easy to maintain and has a fabulous presentation. Think about how your family lives and the things that are important to you in your kitchen so that you can stay within the budget you desire.
