Humans are inherently social beings and have been since the beginning of time. We are biologically wired to connect in order to thrive within our emotional, physical, and social landscapes. That’s why the forced periods of isolation and pandemic lockdowns were so challenging and tricky to navigate, and we saw a massive boom in the use of programs such as Zoom and Skype which allowed isolated individuals to connect with each other.
Now that countries all over the world are slowly emerging from this period of isolation and separation, we anticipate another global boom: one in the world of entertainment and the need to connect with the ones we love. Our behaviors have also shifted from wanting to eat out and go to bars in our spare time, to choosing to stay in and get together with our family and friends from the comfort of our own homes.
For this reason, we believe that there’s no better time to consider building a custom kitchen that’s perfect for hosting – so that you can connect with your guests with ease, enjoyment, and a sense of pride in the beautiful space that you’ve created.
Custom Kitchen Designs to Suit Your Custom Hosting Style
Before you decide to purchase anything for your entertainment-centric kitchen remodel, we highly recommend sitting with one of Noblessa’s highly skilled designers to figure out what is essential to include within your kitchen to suit your individual hosting style. Our designers will be able to recommend specific Kitchen Collections and features that will facilitate this with effortless style and efficiency.
The types of kitchen features that you would be looking to incorporate into your hosting space would first and foremost need to work in an open-plan design so as to not isolate you from your guests while you are preparing food or pouring drinks. They also need to facilitate ease of movement so that prep can be done quickly and seamlessly.
With this in mind, a crucial feature to include would be a fully equipped kitchen island where you can prep everything for your guests and chairs or stools nearby that allow them to interact with you while you’re busy. The Scala Line N, Iconic, and Viva collection are perfect for this. Each has space for all your hosting duties while guests can sit or mingle.
Another consideration is where you are going to prep and clean everything. Extra side space provides some space to prep and organize, while a double sink and dishwasher prevent dishes from piling up throughout the evening.
Easily accessible food storage and built-in kitchen appliances are a must-have for a host so that things run smoothly and food is within easy reach throughout your get together. Once the festivities begin you and your guests will also appreciate a wine rack! The best part? Noblessa’s Kitchen Collections offer all of these kitchen features in a variety of different looks and styles, so that you can find the best custom features to suit your unique taste.
Materials, Lighting, and Hosting Hacks
The last thing a host wants is to spend the evening cleaning up – there’s too much fun to be had, right? For this reason, we recommend choosing custom kitchen cabinets and countertops with a smooth and sleek finish (found in all of our Kitchen Collections) so that any mess can be cleaned up with a single wipe of a cloth. Hiding your kitchen dustbin behind cabinet doors where you’re likely to prep food will also work wonders in preventing mess from building up throughout your soiree.
It’s also super important to consider which lighting features to use when planning your kitchen remodel – to not only set an ambient and welcoming atmosphere, but to elegantly highlight some of your most precious collected kitchen items for your guests to see. Our Scala Line N Collection seamlessly integrates beautifully lit display shelves into the kitchen island, so that your cabinet space doubles up as an artistic expression of your personal taste and style.
Another hosting hack you get to enjoy with Noblessa’s Kitchen Collections are super neat features, like Premium Glass Side Drawers to house all your pots and plates at your prep station – and the Noblessa Pantry Box, which stylishly conceals your produce in your drawers whilst keeping your ingredients fresher for longer.
All in all, the most important aspect to designing an impressive and efficient hosting kitchen is to facilitate a space that makes prepping, cleaning and maneuvering around super easy, so that you can spend less time cooking and more time enjoying precious time connecting with your guests and loved ones. With Noblessa’s chic custom kitchen collections, you get to do just that.
