Kitchen furniture can be found in many styles and materials.
It should not only look attractive but also be comfortable enough
that family and guests will sit and visit before or after a meal.
A table may be surrounded by chairs or pushed up to a built in
seating area. Also available are freestanding kitchen islands
that look like fine furniture; their wood and color may vary
from your cabinets. Stools in a variety of styles suit any
decor and make tasks or visiting at your island or peninsula
comfortable. Open storage pieces show off your china and give
the kitchen a dressed up appearance. Be sure to provide space
for your prized cookbook collection with built-ins or bookcases.
When choosing portable kitchen furniture, be sure to consider whether
the cabinet styles and materials match (or at least complement) your
kitchen cabinet style
and construction. In addition, the portable furniture hardware
and top surfaces should co-ordinate with the style and finish of your
kitchen cabinet hardware
and counter tops.

with traditional wooden chairs. The photo to the left illustrates
a country kitchen with white cabinets and furniture, while the picture
to the lower right shows cast iron stools in a contemporary kitchen.
Since the kitchen is a place of food preparation, spills may be
unavoidable. Kitchen furniture should be sturdy and easy to
clean. Fabrics used for cushions and upholstery should be
washable. When cooking, keep unnecessary furniture such as chairs
out of the cooking area. Use dining furniture in a separate
space. For a small kitchen, bulky furniture may be too large,
so go with lighter pieces to maximize floor space and ease traffic
flow. Choose flexible furniture such as a table with fold-down
leaves or chairs that can stack out of the way when not needed.
Lastly, consider built-in furniture for your kitchen, but remember
that it is not moveable, and you can't take it with you if you relocate.
