The Kitchen is the Heart of the Home
The kitchen really is the heart of a home. Far more than a location from which sustenance is distributed, a kitchen pulsates with daily activity and beats to the rhythms of life’s milestones. Because food itself is so tightly intertwined with a family’s celebrations and sorrows, the practicality of a kitchen is overshadowed by one’s personal perception, interpretation and memory.
One challenge of kitchen design becomes how to balance utilitarian needs with aesthetic desires. Even homeowners who know exactly what necessities and amenities they want must chose from a plethora of possibilities for countertops, lighting, appli-ances, finishes, cabinetry, fixtures and flooring.
