Multifunctionality matters in our fast-paced world. This is a trend that anyone who wants a more streamlined experience in their home can get behind. Dedicated zones create kitchens that function without clutter, congestion and dysfunction; instead, experience the natural flow of a space designed just for your needs.

FORM & FUNCTION AT THE FOREFRONT

Add all of your own unique essentials to your kitchen, from a beverage center to a built-in hutch that forms the backdrop of your dining area. The personalization of your space will result in unique zones for everything from meal prep to homework.

Your cabinetry can be as functional and practical as it is stylish. Add organization items with intention, placing them where they’ll be the most useful, and add seating for family and friends to gather. With thoughtful planning, your space will be both multi-purpose and beautifully cohesive.

CABINETRY THAT FUELS YOUR MORNINGS

Conceal your coffee nook inside your cabinetry so your morning espresso doesn’t dominate your evening dinner plans. It’s a simple way to add ease to every morning routine.

SWEET STORAGE FOR THE HOME BAKER

Add organization products exactly where you need them (like a Base Tray Divider Kit by the oven to complete your baking station).

A WET BAR THAT’S ALWAYS OPEN FOR BUSINESS

A second sink in a built-in wet bar can be a lifesaver, especially when you add a mini fridge and storage for glasses, drink shakers and other entertaining essentials.

DESIGNING A KITCHEN THAT DOES IT ALL

Choosing the finishes and decorative elements are part of the fun, and we love that this functionality trend can pair with any aesthetic. This Adelaide kitchen is a warm tri-tone space whose finishes, Painted Oat, Painted Navy and Maple Cider, help create the flow from one zone to the next. But no matter what colors you choose, your cabinetry forms the foundation of your kitchen. When you meet with your Home Depot designer, ask about creating areas that reflect your lifestyle.
