There’s a reason that the kitchen is one of the most renovated rooms in the home (likely tied with the bathroom) – the kitchen gets used just about every day and needs to be well-organized for it to be used efficiently. Unfortunately, most kitchens could be better. Kitchen design is a huge industry because people want their kitchens to be beautiful and functional and meet their needs. If you’re going to invest in a kitchen remodel to upgrade your kitchen or create a multipurpose kitchen, these tips can help! Designing a multipurpose kitchen can be a big job, but in the end, having a space that is perfect for your needs is worth it.
Multipurpose Kitchens
If you’re wondering what a multipurpose kitchen is, that’s a great place to start, and the name says it all. It is a kitchen that you use for more than just preparing, cooking, and eating. For most people, the kitchen is already a multipurpose room: you cook in there, but the kids also do homework, you work from home, it’s an occasional art studio or science lab, and more. Creating an intentional multipurpose room takes some planning, making for a more functional and pleasant space.
Maximize Storage
Keeping all of the materials and supplies for each of the uses in your multifunctional kitchen straight is to have good organization. Ensure that the storage solutions you choose can close so that the kitchen looks nice and tidy and everything is put away and out of the way.
Use Elements To Create Zones
The best way to intentionally create a multipurpose space is by zoning your room. Zoning means creating zones within the room where different activities take place. For instance, your kitchen island is likely where you eat, but it also may be where homeschooling or homework happens, creating a zone by keeping materials for school work organized and easily accessed from the table. Set up a zone for each use of the space.
Keep Regular Kitchen Concerns In Mind
The standard concerns of a kitchen remodel are still in play here too:
- Choose beautiful but sturdy materials since you want the kitchen to last.
- Make sure that you consider safety needs, like stove controls that little hands can’t get to.
- Try to stick to a neutral pallet with pops of exciting color, so the style stands the test of time.
