The days of the formal dining room have passed, and now most of the holiday celebrations, and occasional celebrations are done in bigger kitchens. We\u2019re here to break down why bigger kitchens are popular, and what kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/castoolsbarsdinettes.com\/\">dining room furniture<\/a> works best.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Old Dining Rooms<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The tradition was that you ate in a formal dining room, while all of the food was cooked and prepared in the kitchen. With more relaxed trends, more of the eating and hanging out is done in the kitchen. Days are gone where one solo person prepared an entire meal. Now it\u2019s common to have multiple people cooking together in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kitchen Breakfast Bar <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This has also grown in popularity, and is lending itself well to hanging in the kitchen. By adding a breakfast bar with some new barstools, you\u2019re inviting people into your kitchen, whether they\u2019re keeping you company, or helping you prep your meal. A <a href=\"https:\/\/castoolsbarsdinettes.com\/kitchen-furniture\/\">breakfast bar<\/a> is also a great addition to have if you have kids. It\u2019s a great place to have your kids do homework after school, while you\u2019re prepping dinner.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Dine-in Kitchen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With the central gathering place slowly becoming the kitchen, we\u2019ve also seen an uptick in dine-in kitchens. With most of the hubbub and commotion happening in the kitchen, it doesn\u2019t make sense to move the dining out of the kitchen. This also makes the ease of cooking better. If you\u2019re waiting for something to come out of the oven, there\u2019s no waiting to walk through to the dining room once it\u2019s done. You can join the rest of your group or family at the <a href=\"https:\/\/castoolsbarsdinettes.com\/dining-room-furniture\/\">dining table<\/a> in the kitchen, and wait until it\u2019s done there.<\/p>\n<input class=\"fooboxshare_post_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"2915\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a while now kitchen trends have been shifting toward larger spaces, and more focus on family and entertaining.
