Keep all the utensils in proper cabinets and away from children's reach if they are breakable. Keep all the kitchen appliances at a safe place. Remember to put all the wiring out of sight and especially out of children's reach. Check that the water and electrical sources are properly working and piping has been done right according to the requirement of your kitchen. Prefer easy-to-clean flooring. Choose hardwood or marble tiles as the main flooring material. Sophisticated accessories like carpets and rugs should be avoided in the kitchen if kids are to be involved. Use such paints or wallpapers that create a healthy feel in the kitchen. Prefer refreshing colors that make the cooking and eating experience fun. Always choose sturdy furniture for your kitchen. Select those items that cover less space while functioning perfectly well. Select stools with comfortable stool pads in lively colors.
