Designing a family kitchen: what to think about?
The kitchen must above all be functional. To set up a family kitchen, we therefore make sure above all to choose the right furniture.
If it is essential to have numerous and spacious storage spaces, it is just as important to equip them well in order to fully exploit the available space.
The central element of the family kitchen is the dining area. The main objective is indeed to put an end to the back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room. It is also a question of having a chill corner, where the children can settle down while the meal is prepared. When space permits, we do not hesitate to install a bench. And we think of the rug, the essential cozy touch.
One of the tips for creating a family kitchen is to free up as much space as possible in the center of the room in order to be able to install a convivial table.
The dining area should ideally be exclusively reserved for meals – of course! – or to relax. Avoid using the table as an extra work surface. If the kitchen has beautiful volumes, it is therefore smart to take advantage of this to install an island.
The family kitchen is no longer just for preparing meals! We also meet there to talk, to relax and in some cases, even to work. It is therefore important to have modular lighting, which adapts to the needs of the moment. It is therefore essential to work well on the lighting, by not hesitating to multiply the lights.

Of course, the large format family kitchen is a dream! But rest easy: contrary to popular belief, you can also create a family kitchen in a small space, provided that its layout is well thought out!
In this small kitchen, we opted for wood – which remains one of the trendy materials in the kitchen in 2023.
