If you love to have friends over for football games or family parties, you might consider a renovation project. Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy to know which features will matter to a crowd. Here are three features your kitchen remodeling project should have, and why spending a little extra on something like custom countertops can help. 

3 Company-Friendly Kitchen Features

1. A Welcoming Layout 

Instead of leaving your layout the same, speak with your remodeling contractor about updating to make the space easier to use. Create a large kitchen island where people can pull up a bar stool or prepare food, and try to eliminate unnecessary items that could take up space. For instance, if you already have a dining area, skip the breakfast nook in favor of a larger food-preparation area. 

2. Surfaces That Are Easy to Clean

Certain materials absorb liquids, pigments, and cooking grease, so consider speaking with your contractor about installing custom countertops. For instance, opting for quartz countertops could make it easy to clean up messes, without worrying about what kinds of damage accidental spills will leave behind. 

3. Double Dishwashers

In addition to adding plenty of space and custom countertops, consider investing in double dishwashers to make cleaning up after a party a breeze. With two dishwashers, you can quickly and easily wash dishes, stove trivets, and serving trays—without waiting for a full cycle to finish.
