As the kitchen is the centre of the home in many households and a natural gathering place, kitchens designed for entertaining with a multi-functional space are becoming more and more popular. A well-designed kitchen will make it easier for you to dine and entertain family and friends while maximizing the use of space. Here are some essential design elements for the ultimate entertaining kitchen.
- Open Kitchen Floor Plan
Open kitchen layouts provide a versatile space for ease of entertaining and preparation. This may require you to knock down a dividing wall between your living room and kitchen area.
- Open Shelving
Grab-and-go shelving not only looks great, it allows you to entertain with ease and gives you the opportunity to put your best dishware on show.
- Two Sinks
Cleaning up after your dinner party is the hardest part but can be made easier with a tandem sink. One can be placed hidden at the back of your kitchen for dirty plates and glasses while another can be placed in the kitchen island for general rinsing.
- Centre Kitchen Island
A kitchen island in the centre of your room can act as a multi-functional element for food preparation, dining and storage of serving plates and cookware. It can also be used to serve your appetisers and family-style meals where guests can serve themselves to nibbles while you prepare the main course.
- Versatile Seating
Invest in some lightweight bar stools to surround your kitchen island to create a central socalising area for pre-dinner snacking or a cocktail bar.
- Drinks Bar with Mini Wine Cellar
Wine lovers may enjoy a small temperature controlled wine cellar cabinet to install under the bench top or in the kitchen island to easily access drinks.
