Today, Your Kitchen Is The Most Important Room In The House

1. Today, Your Kitchen Is The Most Important Room In The House If there is one thing that many homeowners want to do when they move into a new home, it is to refurbish the kitchen. This is because times have changed over the last forty years, and what was once a room where you did the cooking and washing up, and probably the laundry as well, today it has become a room where the whole family congregates (not just mum while she cooks the dinner), not only in order to eat dinner, but to laze around and chat afterwards. Back in the day, we had the kitchen and the dining room. The kitchen is where you cook, and the dining room is where you eat what has just been cooked. Today, the kitchen has become the dining room and is also a place where you entertain guests when you invite them for dinner. The fact that everyone remains and congregates in the kitchen after a meal is because it is now common to have more than one TV in a home. Back then, 40 years ago, you had a TV, and it was in the sitting room. Dinner in the dining room, and then all retire to the sitting room to watch Corrie or whatever. Today, TV’s are affordable, so there is one in the kitchen – originally so that mum could keep up with the news while cooking dinner –one in the bedroom, one in the kids’ playroom – TV’s are everywhere. This is why everyone remains in the kitchen after dinner and why that has extended to become the room where you entertain guests for dinner as well.

2. All of this means that – if you are going to have friends and family there – the kitchen has to look nothing short of spectacular, and it is why so many people are looking to develop – and often extend – their kitchens. Indeed, some people now build an extension to their home, not as a conservatory, but as a super, de- luxe, open plan kitchen, complete with the central island dining area, and often island cooker and sink as well. And an extension is what is needed for many homes, simply because in days gone by the kitchen was so much smaller than is needed now, so if you have an older home, you just don’t have the space. Then there is the question of how you are going to plan your kitchen in Stevenage – or wherever else you live in Hertfordshire. If you are like many people, you may just want to throw out everything – appliances included – and start from scratch. And if you can afford to do so, why ever not? Once done, it will last you a lifetime.
