As a Tampa luxury custom home builder, we are often asked “Is the kitchen the most important room” in designing the house plan.

For a variety of reasons, the short answer is yes, the adage is true. The kitchen is the heart of your home, and the most important room in the house.

Why is the kitchen so important?

Generally, the kitchen is the most important room in your home because it is the center of your family’s day-to-day living. Nearly everyone begins their day in the kitchen with a cup of coffee or breakfast to get their day underway. Its where everyone gathers. Kitchens are where memories are made (in addition to scrumptuous meals). Family, friends and guests at a party tend to congregate around the kitchen. Its also the first thing a prospective buyer considers if you are likely to sell your home in the future.
