When you think about designing the kitchen in your new Poconos home, what are the first things that come to mind? For many homeowners their thoughts immediately turn to cabinets, countertops, sinks, faucets, flooring, and appliances. It’s not surprising. After all, those are the features you see when you walk into a kitchen. And make no mistake, all of those things are important. 

Sometimes, however, it’s the things that you don’t see—at least not at first—that have the most impact on how your kitchen feels and functions. What I’m talking about is how the kitchen is designed—how all the parts (including the things mentioned above) work together to create a beautiful and functional kitchen. 

What is the layout of the workspace? Is it conducive to the way you cook and prepare meals? Are the counters and sink and island positioned in a way that makes it easy and efficient for you to get meals ready? 

How is the design when it comes to accommodating your family? Are you planning to eat most of your meals in the kitchen? Is there space to hang out in and around the kitchen while meals are being prepared? 

And what about when you entertain? Will the kitchen be constructed in a way that invites guests to be present—without being in the way? Will you be able to get back and forth to common areas—such as a Great Room—easily with food and drinks? 

Creating a great kitchen is about much more than having the right countertops and cabinets. It’s about having a design that fits the way you live. That’s why we offer so many different custom home designs. We invite you to check out the wide variety of floor plans we offer—and take a closer look at how the kitchens are laid out. You’ll notice that there are a variety of kitchen designs as well, because different people want different things from their homes and kitchens. 

That’s the beauty of building a custom home: You get to choose what’s right for you. And if you see a plan that’s almost right, you don’t have to settle for ‘almost.’ Chances are that we can adapt the plan to give you exactly what you want. 

Sure, cabinets and countertops and flooring and faucets are all important. But the most important feature in your kitchen—the one that will make the biggest impact on your enjoyment of your custom home—is its design. We’d love to work with you to create a great kitchen!
