KITCHEN THE HEART OF OUR HOMES MODERN HOMEOWNERS AND THE NEW TYPE OF FAMILY'S DYNAMIC ARE PUTTING THE KITCHEN INTO THE HEART OF HOMES. KITCHEN IS NO LONGER ONLY A SERVICE AREA; INSTEAD, IT HAS BECOME A LIVING SPACE WHERE WE CAN COMBINE PREPARATION AND CONSUMPTION OF FOOD WITH SOCIAL ACTIVITIES WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THE CENTRAL ROLE GIVING TO THE KITCHEN MEANS THAT ITS DESIGN IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE FINAL OUTLOOK OF THE INTERIOR DÉCOR COMPOSITION. WE ARE NO LONGER HIDING OUR KITCHENS; ON THE CONTRARY, MOST OF THE TIMES, KITCHENS ARE FULLY EXPOSED AND INTEGRATED INTO OUR LIVING ROOMS. DESIGN CHOICES, THEREFORE, ARE EVOLVING TO MAKE SURE KITCHENS ARE SMART, HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL, NEAT AND YET STYLISH AND WELCOMING.

MINIMALIST KITCHENS KEY FEATURES 02 / Smart hi-tech appliances in shades of black and matte stainless steel combined with an essential design can convey a sleek look and feel to a contemporary kitchen. Matte black appliances are a growing trend for the next years. / Multifunctional surfaces are also being designed to keep kitchens more tidy and minimal. I-table by Kartell, for example, is a smart table that maintains its function as a support, study and conviviality surface but can be transformed into a small cooktop. / Luxurious minimal design can be achieved with finishes in gold accents and expressive materials that create a focal centre in the kitchen décor. / Internal lightning matched with glass cases in kitchen cabinetry is also, a creative and sophisticated way to add luminosity and lightness to the whole space composition.
