Home is where the
heart is and heart is where the ummm… food is!
The kitchen is any
home’s pride and joy. All utensils, heirloom pieces, silverware, delicate
china, cookware, electric appliances- all await the hand/s that prepares those
meals everyday.
The kitchen need not
be cluttered with all things related to cooking. With the correct design, it
can be a welcoming space for a sit down breakfast, a quick cup of tea and
snacks when friends stop by and helping hands that sort vegetables over the
weekend!
Every family has its
unique needs that should be incorporated while designing the kitchen.
1. Bachelor - use the kitchen for: quick snacks, putting together
light meals, healthy juices, maybe a weekend get together with friends with
some grilling or baking. And a place to browse your laptop, read the paper, etc
so comfortable seating.
2. Couple- a working couple will want: quick breakfast, putting
together light meals, juices and hot beverages, with elaborate meals over the
weekend, maybe a get together with friends that includes grilling or baking.
And a cosy seating arrangement to share this food!
3. Couple going into family planning mode- oh, the requirement list
will now grow longer! Apart from the meals, cabinet space, tall units
requirement, make this a child friendly (and child proof initially), etc.
4. Small family unit- here as well, the emphasis will be on good
space utilisation. With a mix of tall units and short-sized storage.
5. Extended family unit- here elements from all the above
categories will need to be considered!
6. Retired family- will have their family members
visiting every once in a while. Hence while the focus will be on a comfortable
kitchen layout, other aspects need to be touched upon.
And then we turn to the
essentials of a kitchen:
The layout, cabinet
placement, electronic appliances placement, the kitchen trolleys and good
lighting.
