Go the Extra Mile With Appliances Made for Entertaining
Homeowners that are serious about entertaining in the kitchen go the extra mile with high-quality products like a small Manitowoc ice machine and an undercounter wine or beer cooler. It’s all about having the right tools and equipment to keep guests well-fed and refreshed.
When you are investing in non-traditional kitchen appliances quality remains a top concern. And of course, stainless steel is still the trendiest finish for all types of appliances.

Keep the Space Open
One reason why kitchens are now an entertainment space is because floor plans have changed over the years. Several decades ago the kitchen was closed off to the living areas and was its own isolated space. Because it was closed off it wasn’t easy for guests to congregate in the kitchen.
The takeaway is the more open you make your kitchen the better it is for entertaining. When there’s a natural flow from the living room to the kitchen people will be more inclined to hang out where you cook. The same holds true for kitchens that are open to the outdoor living areas, which is another place guests like to go.

Add a Screen
Whether it’s a Super Bowl party, movie night or an impromptu get together, televisions have a way of becoming the center of attention. Usually you’ll find flat screens affixed to a wall in the living room, but there’s no rule that says you can’t have one in the kitchen.
Today’s DVRs make it possible to get all of your regular programming on any TV in the home no matter where it’s located. Another benefit for the chef in the family is having the ability to follow along with a cooking show while preparing a meal. For the most entertainment options go with a smart TV that can sync with your wireless Internet and stream online media instantly on screen.

Make Use of an Island
If you have an open floor plan a kitchen island can easily be added if you don’t already have one. Islands not only make a kitchen more functional they also make them better for entertaining. An island can be used like a table offering additional seating for guests by simply adding bar stools. It can also double as a buffet where the food and refreshments are kept. A kitchen island will also give you additional space for under-counter appliances like the coolers mentioned above.
