European Kitchen Design
European civilization has been around for a long time. Far longer than America anyway. This extra time has given them years of practice in the art of cooking. All of these years perfecting food have also led to a lucky by-product. Europeans have also perfect the art of kitchens…the canvases for their culinary masterpieces.
If you would like to be the master artist of food in your home, you can do as the Roman’s did. Remodel your kitchen with the age-old traditions of European kitchen design. It’s really not that hard, and with a few adjustments you will feel like you are mama: making food ‘just like mama used to make’. Now who wouldn’t want praise like that?
Follow these tips and you’ll be headed in the right direction:
Because of scarcity in the old world, Europeans
bring three things to their kitchen design.
- Innovative design.
- Unusual materials.
- Innovative technology.
This is often achieved using distinct and different materials. Stainless steel and marble are the prefect representation of old and new. The marble harkens back to the good old days of yesteryore: namely the roman imperial tradition. The stainless steel resonates a look towards the future and all the technology has to offer.
Storage in European Kitchen Designs
Storage is
also a critical component of European kitchen design. Hey, Europe is a small place and
Europeans often need to use every inch of space they have available. You will need highly functional cabinet
space in one concentrated area.
The utensils should be placed as close to appliances they will be
complimenting.
Counter
kitchen sliders are a European space saving invention. Even if you do not really need them,
they are great to play with and you’d be surprised at how easy they are to
use.
Community
is also at the heart of the European cooking experience. The cook is never
isolated and often the whole family hangs out in the kitchen and helps in
meal preparation. Kitchen islands are great for this.
