Transforming Kitchen Areas for Socializing - Our Guide

Do you still adhere to the old customs of assigning specific uses for each particular area of your house? Do you believe that the kitchen's function is solely for cooking and preparing food? Despite the advanced technology providing evidence otherwise, do you still regard the world as flat? If you still do, then why?Ages ago, before Pythagoras even learned to speak, every household's kitchen area was perhaps strictly just for the culinary arts. Fast forward to the present; you don't need to be a Greek philosopher to see for yourself that a lot of things have changed. (The earth is still around, though. Sorry.) As the world shifted, so did the purpose of each section of the house. A social trend observed in kitchen areas, specifically, shows its multi-functionality. It's no longer just a regular cooking space. It's also largely becoming a popular socializing space.If you're still behind this trend, below are five tips on how to transform your kitchen into a great socializing area.The Kitchen IslandWhether you need an extra counter for your guests, a place for preparing a quick fix of food, a table for writing papers, or a corner where you can discuss things with your partner, having an island installed will help maximize the space in your kitchen. Aside from its versatile uses, it can also serve as a design to improve the aesthetics of your interior.

The Table

If you're thinking of attracting more people to gather into the kitchen for conversations and chitchats, place a small table directly connected to the kitchen island. Aside from it providing more space, it will also help draw a more relaxed atmosphere perfect for informal conversations.

The Breakfast Nook

These nooks are usually strategically placed beside the window, ideal for watching your dogs run across the lawn or just merely looking at the outdoors, basking in the morning light. It's where couples can drink their coffee/tea together or where a family gathers for meals/snacks. Since it's not the actual formal dining table, strict etiquette rules and a serious vibe aren't expected.

The Open Spaces

The flow of movement inside your house is just as important as everything else. Contrary to what others think, open spaces also have specific functions. These open spaces leading to other sections of the house can help highlight those areas because of the direct contrast it provides.'

The Family Command Center

An area in the house that will serve as you and your family's daily meet-up point is a novel idea. Before everyone can start with their daily activities, the family can talk about the upcoming day in school or at work together. Chores to keep the household organized are also ideally discussed in this space.
