Kitchen Design Tips for the Entertainer

Do you love to host parties at your home? Summertime is a popular time to host parties and once Summer is over, the holiday's will be here before you know it. Your kitchen is generally where all the magic happens when it comes to hosting a party because it's where you prepare food and drinks for your guests. Have you thought about upgrading your kitchen to create the ultimate entertaining space? Not only will an upgraded kitchen make hosting parties much easier, you will also "Wow" your guests with beautiful new kitchen cabinetry from Ragan Cabinets! Let's be honest, half of the fun of hosting parties is showing off your home and culinary expertise. Today, the best cabinet company at the Lake of the Ozarks has some tips for creating a kitchen that is PERFECT for entertaining!


Islands Are a MUST 

Having a kitchen island is essential if you like to entertain. Having a kitchen island gives you more cabinet room and also provides you with additional countertop space. Having additional cabinet space is perfect for displaying foods, creating a buffet, or setting up the ultimate drink bar! You can also add a few bar stools to the kitchen island which will allow your guests to be in the kitchen while you are doing the finishing touches on your food. With our semi-custom cabinets at the Lake of the Ozarks, we can design your kitchen island to match your style for your next event!


Storage, Storage, Storage!

If you host parties often, especially if you host large crowds, plenty of storage is a must. You need extra space for more dinnerware, wine glasses, drinking glasses, food storage, and more! Depending on how fancy your parties are, you may even have a separate set of nice dishes just for entertaining. Installing mullion doors are a great way to not only store your nice dishes but it can also add a design element to your kitchen by displaying your nice dinnerware.

Extra Countertop Space 

How much countertop space is necessary when you entertain? This is typically a case by case basis but a general rule of thumb is that an entertainer needs a lot of countertop space. You want to make sure that you have enough space for prep work, people to gather around, and space for prepared food to go.


Make Room For Extra Appliances 

When you purchase semi-custom cabinets at the Lake of the Ozarks, you have the flexibility to decide where you put your appliances and how much space they require. If you entertain often, have you thought about adding a few extra appliances to make your life easier? Create a space for a wine fridge, second oven, or warming oven. You may want to purchase a large refrigerator that doesn't fit in a standard refrigerator space. Ragan Cabinets can customize your kitchen to match your vision! 

When you design your kitchen with entertaining in mind, custom cabinets are the only way to ensure that you get exactly what you want. Build your dream kitchen for both everyday conveniences and to maximize your space for entertaining guests. After you remodel your kitchen and host your first party, we can already see the smile on your face from a newly remodeled kitchen AND smiles on your guests face from the amazing party you planned!
