When designing a room to nurture and nourish, keep drawers and cabinets organized.

Dos:

• Make sure you can see the entrance of the kitchen when you're cooking, either by installing the stove on an island or by hanging a mirror on your backsplash to reflect the room.
• Keep drawers, cabinets and pantries clean and organized.
• Add seating, regardless of the size of the room.
• Add warm lighting, like incandescent or halogen, which makes you and the food seem much more appealing.
• Keep your stove clean and be sure to use all the burners.

Don'ts:

• Have clutter or unnecessary objects and appliances sitting on countertops or tables.
• Keep old food, whether it's leftovers, dried foods, packages or cans.
• Use fluorescent lights, as they're harsh and unappetizing.
• Have sharp points or dangerous edges on cabinets, furniture and tables.
• Keep knives visible; instead store them away in drawers or cabinets.
