It’s official…the kitchen as we know it is morphing into something else altogether. Tomorrow’s kitchen goes beyond the bread and butter basics—the room we cook in and eat in—to the high functioning heart of the home. It’s the space where we entertain, relax, work and play. (Hint: This is not your mother’s kitchen!)
The following questions are designed to help you start thinking creatively about how to transform your existing kitchen into a live-in room. Be realistic while answering the questions, and be sure to get input from everyone in your household. Your answers are designed to help you create a room that better meets your lifestyle.
- How do you want your live-in room to feel?
- How often do you entertain?
- Is your entertainment style formal or informal?
- Do you have large or small gatherings?
- Do your guests help you in the kitchen when you entertain?
- How do you hope to use your live-in room when friends or family visit?
- What are your favorite hobbies?
- Do you have any hobbies that require you to store special equipment or gear?
- Do you like listening to music?
- Do you need a space for homework?
- What colors are you drawn to?
- Do you have collections you’d like to display?
- Do you like the things you use on a daily basis (like your coffee maker) out in the open, or do you prefer to put everything away?
- Would you like a TV in your live-in room?
- What other activities (e.g., laundry, paying bills, sewing, computer center, etc.) would you like to take place in your new live-in room?
