These
days, the trend seen among modern
kitchens is that it begins to double as a dining area and lounge,
thus people at home are now finding it easier to snack and enjoy
their meals, especially when they are in a hurry. Though it might
seem trendier and savvier, however, perhaps it’s better to
reconsider remodeling kitchens to double as dining areas. Why? Read

Modern
Kitchens, Fatter People?
According
to Dr. Brian Wansink, director of the Food and Brand Lab from the
Cornell University, people’s eating habits are influenced by their
surroundings rather than their actual appetite, and people tend to
snack more when their kitchen is too comfortable or “loungeable”.
Designing
a New Kitchen
Most
contractors or builders might ask, how can they design a kitchen that
won’t make the residents unhealthy? One simple remedy is to do away
with eating in the kitchen altogether and creating a separate dining
room, something that most homes, sadly, do not have anymore.
Moreover,
it’s advised to design a kitchen with a clean look and to stock up
on stainless-steel appliances. It’s also recommended to use quartz
countertops, which are easier to clean compared to granite. By having
a clean and uncluttered design that mainly focuses on food
preparation rather than food enjoyment, one may be inspired to cook
healthy meals and pursue a healthy diet for the entire household.
