“One of the nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is that we are doing and devote our attention to eating”
Luciano Pavarotti
It is said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and what goes in the stomach originates in a kitchen somehow. How then, is a kitchen not the heart of the house? It is regarded as one of the most important places in a house. The design and layout of a kitchen sets the tone for the entire place. Usually located at a point where it becomes the first place anyone at your house sees, it is important that you put extensive efforts into uplifting this little corner of your residence.
Have a kitchen that looks like a mess all the time or one that simply doesn’t feel so attractive? It’s time you indulged in some kitchen renovations then. You might not be convinced to invest in such an endeavor. This blog intends to change that.
Humans have a connection with food that is more than just physical
Why would someone take on the hectic burden of going through kitchen renovations when the current one gets the job done quite well? Well, the first reason is simply because you should. Food is one of the things humans can’t survive without; however, human beings have developed much deeper bonds with food. Researches have shown how food can influence emotional states and behaviors in humans. If such is the impact of food, why would you neglect the place where it is prepared?
A well decorated, clean and amply lit kitchen is like a holy place with a sacred calling. One that wants you to visit and not leave, ever!
It’s the place in the house where the whole family can hang out
Most houses have the kitchen and dining area merged into one big room. It is therefore one of the two places where the entire family gathers after their hectic days or on holidays to sit, munch and catch up on all that’s going on in each other’s life. A messed-up kitchen might not encourage people to step in it, much less sit there and eat. Another reason, therefore, to have that place in top-notch shape!
Nature is love and so is food! An open kitchen is therefore paradise
If you have the place and resources, an open kitchen is an idea you would not stop thanking us for once you have it made. The beauty of nature combined with the aroma of food will make you fall in love with the kitchen.
Your kitchen represents a lot about your house
We’ve been going on about a psychological connection that exists between the kitchen and humans because kitchens reveal a lot about you as a person, your tastes and habits. It also provides a glimpse to the guest what the rest of the house might look like. The color scheme, the appliances and their arrangement, the overall design speak volumes about the people of the house.
We’ve used this post to lay strong foundations for you to revisit your kitchen design and look into possible renovations because believe it or not, a kitchen is much more than just a room in your house, it’s an entire experience.
