FIRST THINK ABOUT A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOUR KITCHEN The information you share will help you discover the role your kitchen plays in your life. Consider how you are using the current space and how the room meets, or falls short of, your needs. Your kitchen is often the center of activity. It is more than a place to prepare food it s used for unwinding, entertaining, storing gadgets and eating meals with loved ones. Because it s a place that provides refuge and relief, it is your oasis. The design of your kitchen needs to flex with these needs, so it is important to have it the way that you want it. It is also important to add beauty, style and functionality to this space. Imagine a room where its aesthetics are calming and inviting as well as functional and practical.
