This family of four loves to cook together and entertain, but its cramped U-shaped kitchen wasn’t conducive to either. The space was cut off from other rooms in the house, hampering the way the family likes to entertain. And about half the kitchen’s square footage was wasted. So interior designer Jennifer Kowalski worked closely with the Seattle homeowners while strategizing on how to make the most of every inch. At the beginning of the design process, she spent several hours with her clients learning how they wanted the kitchen to function and taking inventory of everything they needed to use and store. “We had lengthy discussions about how frequently they entertain, how often they’re cooking meals at home, how many people are in the kitchen cooking and cleaning up at the same time, and the different types of kitchen appliances and tools they use,” she says. “Identifying those key components helped us develop a floor plan and workflow that accommodated all their critical needs.” The pros at Potter Construction expertly executed the design.
