Does Size Matter For Kitchens?

Does a kitchen have to be big to be beautiful? Can small kitchens satisfy? We think that beautiful kitchens come in all shapes and sizes! Here is what REALLY matters: 1. It's not the size, it's the functionality! Create a kitchen that functions for You! When remodeling an Atlanta kitchen, we consider everything from the families' shopping habits to the chefs' heights to ensure we create a space that works for the family that lives there! 2. Proper landing and prep space and adequate/comfortable traffic flow are possible even in smaller kitchens. If you don't entertain and prefer a smaller kitchen, there is nothing wrong with that! 3. If resale is a consideration either now or in the future, factor that in to all your kitchen decisions when you remodel. Whether you love big or small kitchens, consider the opposite point of view to ensure some universal appeal if you'll need to sell your home in 5 - 7 years.Questions about kitchen remodeling?

    You have a very wise design philosophy.

    I agree completely. If a kitchen is functional it can be made beautiful with decorating. However, if not functional, no matter how beautiful you will never love it.

    I really like your work and design philosophy.

    Size doesn't matter if it's laid out well and you have a little bit of counter space

    No, what matters is the company learns the wants and needs of the family & then uses that knowledge to make it functional & designs it beautifully as you have done.

    I think my very first post on my blog was of this very subject and has the same title! Sometimes we tend to think 'bigger is better' but that is certainly not true. I would rather have a well laid out kitchen than a large one any day.

    Your designs are beautiful and clearly you practice what you preach.

    I agree Doreen, Larger kitchens I tend to get lost in. I like a medium size that is well organized. I love pull out draws...& corner cabinets...so things don't get lost. Walking around a large kitchen is exhausting if you cook a lot. Being from an Italian family I do cook a lot.

    Size does matter. You have to have decent space to lay out a really useable kitchen. When we bought our present 1940's house it was with the understanding that it could be remodeled which included knocking out a wall to enlarge the space..

    Big kitchen is nice, but small kitchen can be nice too. It depends on how to organize our stuff.

    Sherry L, AK could knock out a wall or more if when talking to you he realized you wanted something larger. I'm certain he doesn't limit size. The bigger it is the more it costs. From the contractors view what's not to like about a large size?

    I'm thinking that depends on the size of your family. You wouldn't want to sit 8 people down in a small eat-in kitchen, and a 2 person family wouldn't want to get lost in a big kitchen. So yes, in my opinion, size does matter...

    Size can matter depending on what you want from your kitchen. I have a small U shaped kitchen with a small eat-in space and since I love to cook and bake (that's my relaxation) there are many days I wish it were a tad bit larger, enough to have an island. I do have room to move about however so there is that.
