Function Meets Focal Point

The kitchen has always been the heart of the home, and in today’s designs, it’s also the hub that connects living, dining, and entertaining spaces. At Timberlin Homes, we view the kitchen as both highly functional and beautifully central, setting the tone for the rest of the house.

Flow and Function

Placement matters. The kitchen sink should be positioned to create a natural flow between prep work, cleanup, and gathering spaces. It should allow you to stay connected with family or guests while working. A second sink on the island can also be a thoughtful design choice, adding flexibility for food preparation, entertaining, or simply making it easier for multiple people to share the kitchen at once.

Islands themselves have evolved beyond simple prep stations. Today, they function much like the kitchen tables of the past, where kids finish homework, friends gather with drinks, and families share casual meals. With ample seating, storage, and the option to integrate appliances or sinks, the island has become both a workhorse and a social centerpiece.

 

Innovation Meets Tradition

Timberlin Homes is reimagining classic features in innovative ways. The butler’s pantry, once a hidden utility space, is returning as a modern extension of the kitchen. It’s perfect for staging meals, housing small appliances, and keeping the main area clutter-free. We also take advantage of tall ceilings with double-height cabinets that reach all the way up, blending practicality with striking architectural impact.

Your kitchen should serve as a focal point for the entire home. By blending thoughtful layouts, timeless details, and fresh ideas, Timberlin Homes ensures that your kitchen shines where life happens.
