Take a quick look at your kitchen. Can you see your counters or are they covered in kitchen appliances, papers, and random things that get left out or set down? So often, the kitchen becomes a catch-all for the entire family. We leave things on the counter when we get home from work and school. We forget to put away the blender after making a late night milkshake or early morning smoothie. We don’t feel like doing the dishes after dinner, so they pile up next to the sink. You’re ready to reclaim the counters in your custom home kitchen and get rid of all the clutter!
What’s Happening In Your Custom Home Kitchen
Your counters are usually so cramped and crowded that you can’t prepare the foods you want. You have to take time out of your day to make enough room for cutting boards and meal prep.
All of the small kitchen appliances you have like a microwave, blender, food processor, toaster oven, coffee pot, espresso maker, and juicer are all on the counter leaving you virtually no room.
Your family uses the kitchen counters to just set everything down on. It happens all of the time, you come home from work and dump your paperwork, keys, and anything else in your hands on the counter. Your kids do it too! Backpacks and homework get spread out all over the counters.
Designing Your Custom Home Kitchen For Less Clutter
With the Indianapolis custom home builders Hamilton Homes, your kitchen can finally be your kitchen. With clear countertops, you’ll be whipping up world famous meals in no time.
A workhorse island gives you the extra space you need for meal prep.
Whether you’re just fixing a weeknight meal or getting ready for your famous holiday party, a workhorse island with a sink, drawers, bar stools, and plenty of counter space is the perfect place for you to get those cutting boards out and start dicing up vegetables.
Roll top cabinets and deep drawers are the perfect way to hide all of those small kitchen appliances.
Roll top cabinets mean you can simply slide the appliances out when you need them and then slide them back in when you’re done. By adding electrical outlets inside of the cabinet, you won’t have to worry about moving the appliance to an outlet. You’ll always be ready to go. With deep drawers, you’ll find you have way more room for everything in the kitchen, plus you won’t have to go diving into a lower cabinet every time you need the food processor.
Setting up stations in your kitchen will help keep the random clutter off your counters.
Tired of mail piling up on the counters? Create a station in the kitchen specifically for the mail. You can use a built-in system with slots for bills, personal letters, and magazines. If your kids are in the habit of setting their backpacks on the counter, then consider adding hooks to an empty wall in your kitchen. This will give them a specific place to put their backpacks and it will give you the counter space you need to prep for dinner.
If you’re tired of shoving stuff out of the way just so you can put a cutting board on your counter, then it’s time to reclaim your kitchen counters! From custom built homes to Indianapolis remodeling, Hamilton Homes can help you get your kitchen in shape.
