Kitchen Remodeling | One of the best reasons you have for beginning a kitchen remodeling project is your growing family as changes happen in your family your needs and the functionality of the kitchen change. If you know you need to renovate but don’t know where to start, check out these family-friendly kitchen remodeling ideas to get you started.

Open Concept Floor Plan- Sometimes the kitchen doesn’t have enough space for everyone to gather and building onto the home isn’t an option. One way to make an area feel larger is to create an open concept floor plan. If your kitchen is connected to a great room, dining room, or living room, knock down the wall and create an open space. If you don’t want to tear the wall down completely, cut out the top and turn the wall into a breakfast bar instead.

Two Kitchen Islands- If your family is always on the go, and doesn’t frequently sit down to dinner anymore, often, a double kitchen island can take the place of your dining room table. Move your sink to one island to free up your counter space and use the island for sitting down for a quick bite to eat.

Multi-purpose Nook- You may know this area of the kitchen as a breakfast nook, but this space can be used for much more than just eating breakfast. Lining the corner of the kitchen with bench seating and a small table can open up more available seating in a smaller space. These nooks are also great for doing homework, reading, or hanging out while parent’s make dinner.

Remove Cabinets and Add a Pantry- Removing cabinets can instantly make the kitchen feel bigger and brighter, but where you do put all the dishes and dry goods that the cabinets were hiding? If you don’t dig the idea of open shelving, build a pantry into the kitchen can create an elegant, minimalistic design that is clean and sophisticated.
