coming up green Health & Wellness in the Kitchen
By Luxury Portfolio International
Rather than being instantly propagated by viral memes, most trends gain momentum slowly, sometimes taking years to gain widespread adoption. For kitchens and residences, the first signs of change often surface in concept homes, which serve as indicators to what lies ahead in the home, design, and shelter space. These days, it’s about green, and how individuals are incorporating these features into their homes. One concept house, showcased at the most recent Design and Construction Week in the U.S., featured a butler’s pantry/back kitchen that included an appliance designed to grow herbs and microgreens indoors. Another included a green wall adjacent to the kitchen to enhance air quality and provide a space to grow fresh food. Expect to see this trend of grow walls make its way from concept homes to high-end kitchens in the near future.
