What is more important is to discuss with you family in how to use the space, not just kitchen and its equipment. The zoning of internal area is more likely to make you feel better when you come back from work. The choice of materials, colour, views, visual relief are all considerations that make you feel money spent for value. It is much more worthwhile than just thinking on kitchen and equipment or sofa pieces.
