Cooking is not just a way to ensure our survival. Yes, we need to eat to fuel our bodies, but cooking is so much more. It’s social, it’s cultural, for some it’s even spiritual! We should all spend more time cooking, but odds are you won’t do much cooking if you don’t like spending time in your kitchen. So with that in mind, here are two changes you can make that will make you want to spend more time in the kitchen.
Move your sink. “The worst thing in life is to be washing a dish and looking at a wall,” says Nicole White, an interior designer based in Florida. “Move your sink if you can, and you’ll never regret that change ever in life.” If you’re lucky enough to have a window in your kitchen, moving your sink so that it sits underneath will offer you something to look at as you’re washing the dishes or prepping food.
Add more natural light. Light from any source is important, and under-cabinet lighting will go a long way if you don’t already have it, but it’s no substitute for natural light. “A great upgrade is adding more natural light,” says Janet Lee of Living in a Nutshell. “Most kitchens don’t have enough—especially small, cramped kitchens.”
Think about these changes for your next reno project and you may just find yourself wanted to spend way more time in what will soon become your favorite room!
