 Traditionally we have all loved to gather in the kitchen. The popularity of an open plan kitchen is in
vogue more now than in past years. We purposely plan for no separation between the kitchen, living, outdoors and dining areas. This encourages ideal interaction as it allows your guests room to move freely. Our kitchens are designed to fit the needs of our present day lifestyles. With the many small appliances and gadgets we have, the design is much more important today. As we plan for multiple cooks, school homework and parties it is very important to bring the design together. There can be challenges in creating your perfect social kitchen. So we will look at a few ideas to help you build the benefits into your perfect entertaining kitchen.

Create Life Action Areas
  •  When entertaining, an area for preparing and serving beverages is a must. A custom beverage hot spot stocked with all the needs for your bartender is a must.
  • Warming drawers will be another consideration to give the host and hostess more time to enjoy their guests.
  • Appropriate refrigeration units placed in your kitchen is also an important part of your entertainment open
    kitchen.
  • An open layout with room to roam throughout makes a more pleasant atmosphere for your family and guests.
  • Be sure to plan several sitting areas for your guests to sit down to chat and eat.
  • Of course you can easily boost your hosting scores with your great looking appliances. Not to
    mention their fantastic function.
  • Get with your kitchen designer for more great options.
 
Prepare Storage To Hide The Mess
 
There is no reason to resist open social kitchens because you are worried about the possible mess your
guests might see. We can offer solutions to this concern. With sizable countertop spaces and countertop cubbies in your cleanup area the mess will not be noticeable while entertaining. With the addition of a specialized serving area or a raised counter top bar you will have all the distraction needed to pull your guests eyes elsewhere.

Television

When your having a casual gathering to watch a sports event a TV in the kitchen is a great touch. Food and sports in the hub of your home makes for great entertaining.
