4 Ways to Create the Ultimate Family Kitchen

Whether it's a parent helping with the kids' homework whilst chopping the veg, firing off a few work emails at the breakfast bar or congregating around the table to enjoy a meal together — 'busy' times always seem to happen in the kitchen.

Especially for families with young children, it's crucial to create a functional, comfortable, and durable space; one that is going to last the distance and withstand what busy family life throws at it. Here are four key things to consider if you want to design the ultimate family-friendly kitchen.

  1. Anti-fingerprint Cabinetry

One of the most important elements of a family kitchen is the cabinets. Something that is quite a trend at the moment is anti-fingerprint cabinetry that stays looking clean and new — even with little hands constantly opening and closing doors!

At the moment, our German kitchen range is leading the way in creating velvety matt kitchens with anti-fingerprint coating. These elegant and modern kitchens are becoming increasingly popular because they are so easy to maintain.

2. Durable Worktops

When choosing materials for your family kitchen, durability is key. Quartz worktops are a great option because they are not only largely stain and scratch-resistant but also very robust against heat. This makes them easy to clean and hygienic, which is vital for families with small children.

In addition, quartz comes in a wide variety of colours and styles, so you can find a look that fits your family's taste. With its durability and style, quartz is the perfect material for creating the ultimate family kitchen.

3. Reliable Sinks

The sink is one of the hardest-working fixtures in the kitchen, so it needs to be durable and easy to clean. Blanco sinks are made from high-quality materials that are stain and scratch-resistant, making them a wise investment for busy families.

A reliable sink makes food preparation convenient and post-dinner clean-up a breeze. So, if you want to make your family kitchen as functional as possible, choose a good quality sink.

4. Appliances with Long Warranties

Any family home needs a kitchen that can withstand the rigours of daily life. With children comes much mess, and with adults comes a lot of wear and tear. Over the years, it's inevitable parts of your kitchen will incur accidental damage, too. That's why it's important to choose appliances that come with extended warranties.

The appliances Audus Kitchens offer all come with a minimum of two years' warranty – some up to five years – so you can have peace of mind that if something unpredictable arises, we've got you covered.
