Short answer? Yes. The kitchen is the heart of the house. The bubbling, sizzling, steaming, centre for food, conversation, arguments, late nights, midnight snacks, cups of tea, cups of coffee, broken eggs, broken hearts, family, solitude, and all those things that get warmed by the hearth. The real answer is, of course you don’t need a big kitchen! No matter how big or small a kitchen is, people always manage to pull up a chair or a stool and squeeze their way in.

What’s also true though, is that a kitchen is a worthy investment. Because they get used a lot, kitchens go through a lot of wear and tear. Having a durable countertop doesn’t only look nice, but will hold up to spills and clean easily. Good cabinets will still work well after you bump that door accidentally a thousand times! Proper ventilation will keep your kitchen fresh and mold-free. A sturdy tile floor won’t bubble or warp if you spill water on it!

Treat your kitchen with love, whatever size it is, and it will love you back!
