We have designed these questions to help get your mind thinking creatively about how you utilize your existing kitchen and how you would like to use your new kitchen. The answers you give should help you with a lot of the decisions you’ll come across during the design process. Be realistic about your kitchen and be sure to include anyone else’s input who will be using the kitchen as well.

2. Do you want a major change to your kitchen (larger, smaller, shape, traffic flow, etc.)?

3. What is the percentage that you and/or your    family spend in the kitchen?

4. How often do you cook?

5. How many people will be cooking and/or working in the kitchen at the
    same time?

6. How often do you entertain?

7. How many people do you typically entertain at one time?

8. What is the most elaborate meal that you’ve ever cooked?
