Simply At Home on Mar 08, 2013To me it really depends on you personally. If you are not really into cooking then go for appearance first. If you love to cook then function should come first. One thing I learned was the "flow" of where each appliance and utensil drawer is does matter when you are cooking.Helpful Reply

Kate on Aug 30, 2016If I can ever afford a custom kitchen, it will be built around the specific needs and cooking styles of my family. Function first, but a pleasant surrounding would make me want to cook more.Helpful Reply
