How to Achieve a Multi-Purpose Kitchen

Kitchens are often one of the most used rooms in a home. They’re not only the room for cooking, but also the place to socialize, work and entertain. Furniture by Dovetail builds custom kitchen furniture that is tailored perfectly to lifestyles and personal aesthetics. Here are 5 of their favorite ways to achieve a multi-purpose kitchen:

Custom Cabinetry - Furniture by Dovetail suggests taking advantage of your kitchen’s shape and layout. Custom cabinetry can be designed to cater your individual cooking and storage needs.

Flexible Dining & Serving Surfaces - A large dining table or even two dining tables allow for plenty of serving and dining space. Extra dining chairs can prove to be a value commodity, as well.
