Almost all the best gatherings happen in the kitchen, so why not make it more than just a place to cook and dine?

Here are some of the best ideas on how to create an appealing and welcoming space for your family and friends to hangout!

 

Keep it really cozy
Most people are not so keen on hanging out in huge rooms, so make your kitchen feel as inviting as possible. Not only will it draw people onto it, but it also makes everyone feel at ease and comfortable.

 

Combine both spaces
If your dining area is also in your kitchen, maximize its potential by making it the focal point of your home. This works particularly when you’re a fan of entertaining guests. You’ll be amazed at how many people you can accommodate, regardless of the available space.

 

Casual seating area
Another ideal way to welcome guests is by placing a comfy couch in your kitchen. They won’t be in much hurry to leave! There’s just something about sofas that make them welcoming. You don’t even need an enormous kitchen to fit one in.

 

The hang-out bar
If you don’t have enough space to fit a dining table in your small kitchen; you can always include a spot where all your family member and guests can chat while you prepare the meal. This idea is a space-saver, plus, a great way for people to connect.

 

Open on the outdoors
If your kitchen space is positioned alongside the outdoors, make the most out of it by opening the area. Fit some clear doors so that natural light can still effortlessly enter the room even if you close it during windy/rainy days.

 

Room with a great view
Think carefully about the view you’ll want to have upon planning your kitchen. Position your kitchen along your terrace, garden, or balcony for a fail-safe focal area. Mount some huge windows or glazed doors so everyone can appreciate the great view outside.

 

Brighten up the place
Only a few amount of people wants to spend time in a dark and gloomy room, especially when eating a meal. Making your kitchen feel as light and airy as possible can lift up the mood.

Paint your space with light or pale shades so natural light would bounce back. Also consider getting rid of certain walls in your kitchen as it can open up the space even more. Don’t forget to include a mirror or two, as these can be beneficial in reflecting light around the room.

Whether you desire for a more modernized style to your storage or exhibit all your kitchen supplies in the open, it’s those enormous items that annoy you most when trying to squeeze them in place.

We find the need to use those large serving platters and wide baking trays, even only once in a while, but searching a good place to store them could be a little difficult.

Take a look at these ingenious ways to improve your storage and transform your kitchen into becoming a neatly organized culinary zone!

Creative display
A colourful storage area filled with a pleasant mixture of similarly colourful and assorted jugs, bowls, and utensils can definitely enhance the mood of an entire room. When your everyday cooking utensils are creatively striking, it absolutely needs to be displayed.

Suspend them in a row
A traditional metal ceiling rack for hanging up pans and pots is the perfect combination to a classic range cooker. Place it alongside a dresser-like unit with a variety of display shelves and deep drawers to put appliances such as blenders, toasters, and the rest. This gives off a stylish and practical vibe into any traditional kitchen space.

The big pull-outs
Roomy drawers are sometimes the best answer to hiding away all baking trays, pans, and some other awkwardly-shaped tools that doesn’t seem to have enough space elsewhere. Great news is that some kitchens are now designed with wide-ranging drawer options that make organizing super simple.

Mounting bespoke shelving
Create an open kitchen space that looks like an extension of your spacious living room.

Choose a clean and light colour palette and place a shaker-style table for an added comfy vibe. Organize your appliances, pots and platters in such systematic fashion that they look more like decorations than kitchen utensils.

Accessible pantry
Pantries are extremely useful for concealing all your mixing bowls, pitchers, teapots and dishes.

Pick out a design which effectively utilizes every last inch and nook of the unit, as well as a sliding door to simply hide them all away when not needed.

Inject some copper radiance
Make the most out of the warm metallics trend by suspending copper pans in the open rather than storing them on a shelf. Use the shelf to keep your bulky pans and bowls away, as the beaming glow of copper be the centre of everyone’s attention.

Organizing does not have to be boring. Store your utensils with glamour and style with these inspiring ideas!
