Bigger ranges allow two people to cook at the same time without bumping into each other. A five-bedroom model home with a nook that seats four is not proportioned correctly. Besides sink-disposal, the dishwasher, trash and recycling containers should be handy. Imagine, too, where guests will congregate when they inevitably invade the kitchen. A nearby breakfast nook could offer safe haven.
Some people have a different set of dishes for each party they give.
Others buy paper plates. If you're cramped, decide if an extra cabinet or two will do the trick. Then measure cabinet spaces at all the models. Count the number of drawers. Builders sometimes skimp on drawers to save money.
