Luxury Kitchen and Dining Room Design

A large island with plenty of bench space and chairs encourages collaboration. Routine tasks like paying bills, sorting through mail, doing schoolwork, or preparing dinner can be completed without the need to move items. Having a clean surface also has the psychological effect of making the home appear neat even if the rest of the house is disorganized or covered in mounds of objects. When every millimeter counts, don't sacrifice surface area for minor details. Mount your paper towel holder to get it up and out of the way. Use a magnetic strip instead of a knife block to keep cutlery on the wall. To save time, find a cutting board that fits over your sink or cooktop.
