The Smarter Kitchen: Kitchen Designs For Entertaining

We’ve all been there; you host a party and pretty soon realize that everyone has crowded into the kitchen. Why does this happen? There’s a good chance that many guests still see the kitchen as the heart of the home. It’s usually the warmest, busiest part of the house. People love to gather here while chatting with the cook or enjoying some pre-meal appetizers and drinks while socializing with each other.

If you’re someone who loves to host here are a few points to consider when designing your new entertainment friendly kitchen:

• How many people do you generally entertain at one time? Two, five, ten or more?
• What kind of parties or events do you host? Are they casual sit-down buffet style or very formal?
• Do you usually cook yourself or bring in food from a caterer? If you’re doing the cooking, is it just you or do you have a partner that helps with preparation?
• Do you plate food and then serve it in another space or do guests come into the kitchen and serve themselves?

Answers to all these questions can help determine things such as layout, amount of counter space needed, size of appliances and much more. Check out the video above for great tips on creating a kitchen designed for hosting friends and family.
