Kitchen
Rollout pantry. It is easier to put the groceries away quickly if you don't have to fumble around in deep cabinets trying to see what you have and where everything should go, or pulling out a lot of smaller items so you can put bigger items in behind them. And when it comes time to wipe down the shelves in your cabinets, these are easier to reach. Rollout pantry for dishes, not just food items. If you're getting ready to remodel your kitchen or designing a new one, I hope some of these tips help you create a kitchen that will be a joy to use and a cinch to clean.
Drainboard. An integrated drainboard directs water down into your sink, helping to contain water. And it keeps you from having to haul out a drainboard and put it away when the hand-washed items are dry. A nice, high faucet that can move every which way is a real plus when it comes to cleaning those big pots, too.
Savvy receptacle placement. Using a receptacle strip like this mounted under your cabinets keeps the outlets as far as possible from splashes and splatters. It means less time cleaning the receptacles and also makes it easier to wipe down your backsplash. Perhaps we're just shaving seconds off your cleaning time here, but I like this idea. Another great spot out of the splash zone for electrical receptacles is on the end of your base cabinets.
Cabinet style and a little more on flooring. Avoid ornate moldings on your cabinetry. They are pretty, but it takes extra time to wipe around all the nooks and crannies. Slab-front cabinets are the easiest to wipe off. Shaker style is another good choice, and it blends with any kitchen style, from traditional to contemporary. This floor looks like wood but is actually porcelain tile planks. You can also use luxury vinyl tile planks in a wood look. They are very convincing, are resistant to water and require nothing but damp mopping.
Double-bowl sink. By far the most controversial item on my must-have list was a single-bowl sink. Many of you say a double-bowl sink is a must in your kitchen. “Count me in the old-fashioned stainless steel double-bowl-sink faction,” Ibseyb says. “Yes, a single huge bowl would be great for cookie sheets or my giant stockpot, but I will never understand how one-bowl-sink people manage to do the ordinary daily dishes without the second bowl to rinse in, no matter how often it’s described to me.” The consensus seems to be that double sinks are best for those who hand wash most dishes, and single-bowl sinks are better suited to those who wash their dishes primarily in the dishwasher.
