If you’ve recently felt like your kitchen isn’t suited for your family’s wants and needs or lacks qualities that would improve your day-to-day, consider upgrading the space to suit your current lifestyle needs and preferences and make daily life more efficient. Read on for a few family-friendly kitchen renovation design ideas to make the most of the area for you and your household to enjoy and make memories for years to come.

Choose Easy To Clean Surfaces

Spills are highly likely to happen in the kitchen, especially with children. Countertop materials like laminate and stainless steel are known for being easy to maintain and disinfect with a splash of dish soap and warm water. For a more high-end look, quartz countertops are low maintenance and very durable, withstanding water, sharp cutlery, and large spills without the risk of permanent damage.

Add a Kitchen Island

The kitchen is an excellent space for gathering with family and friends, entertaining guests, cooking, eating, and more. Incorporating a large kitchen island into your kitchen space will provide plenty of extra seating and counter space for homework time, after-school snacks, and early morning breakfasts. In addition, a kitchen island adds additional countertop room for cooking, making it ideal for entertaining large groups and presenting fare and hors d’oeuvres at parties.

Install Under Cabinet Lights

Installing under-cabinet lighting can be very helpful for improving safety in your kitchen by reducing trips, falls, and spills at night. In addition, the lights help improve visibility for cooking, food preparation, and reading recipes, creating a stylish and functional kitchen ambiance. Under cabinet lighting is a budget-friendly way to enhance kitchen aesthetics and add an element of safety for those looking to grab a late-night snack or two for family movie night.

Incorporate a Walk-In Pantry

Walk-in pantries provide ample storage space for families and are an excellent solution to minimize clutter on countertops, drawers, and shelves. With out-of-sight floor-to-ceiling shelves, enough space is available for ingredients, small appliances, snacks, cookware, bakeware, and other kitchen items. Consider using bins and baskets to organize, label and create easy access to each family member’s non-perishable favorite foods.
