Kitchens And Why People Get Territorial

By Amy Stevens

Kitchens are in many ways a reflection of the primary cook that uses it. No two people set up their kitchens in the same way. In fact, some go out of their way to set things up differently. Where the groceries go and how the eating utensils get put up are very unique to each and every home.

if a person is not actually a cook, and lives alone, more often than not a kitchen is really a room that is purely for looks. Much thought still goes into the design. If it is going to be going to be for looks alone, then it generally looks really good. Others think very thoroughly about where to put items so that it is easiest for them. They think about their style of cooking and their needs.

Having a guest in using your kitchen can be a stressful situation for both parties involved. The guest can often feel awkward, and there is some times an intense sense that they are on someone else's territory. The kitchen owner can be worried that some aspect of their perfect system will be damaged. From either point of view this can be an uncomfortable circumstance.

Since no two kitchens work the same, it is little wonder that kitchen remodeling is such a strong business. After setting things up the way you want them, many people who have the resources to remodel to really make it their own do so.

Culture can be a major factor in how a kitchen is used. Vast spice racks and double griddles may dominate the kitchen of someone who is of Middle Eastern or Asian origin. The space needed to set up a Kosher kitchen will be different from that. These will both differ greatly from the kitchen of a person in the U. S. Deep South.

Differences in culture can also contribute to how a kitchen is set up. A Kosher kitchen will carefully separate the dishes for meat and dairy. This obviously requires more space than other set ups.

So the business of remodeling kitchens continues to expand and boom. Tied not so much to the economy as individual desires and requirements, it may continue to boom for some time to come. - 32406
