News from the world of kitchens
Kitchens, exactly like clothes and cars, are more and more considered as design objects, thus subject to the trends and fashions of the moment.
If you still havean ancient, and a bit romantic, idea of the kitchen, with the mum in her apronand sleepers cooking for her children and husband, thus if you still considerthe kitchen as a place which is especially meant to cook meals, you havedefinitely missed some steps. Kitchens certainly still have this function, andmany of the changes and innovations that have brought modern kitchens andclassic but hyper-technological kitchens to our houses, were undoubtedly meantto improve the functionality of the kitchen itself, but 21st centurykitchens are not only functional. The kitchen, which still plays a primary rolein each house, is becoming more and more something to show off and to boastabout with guests, because, more than any other room of the house, it can mixthe latest trends and the most innovative technological improvements.
Nowadayschoosing a kitchen does not only mean buying pieces of furniture andappliances, it also means preferring a style to another one, choosing the modelthat best represents your style and personality, exactly as happens with a nicedress or a new car. We can claim, without sounding exaggerated, that thekitchen has become a sort of status symbol. And exactly as happens with clothesand cars, also kitchens follow fashion trends. One of the latest trends infurniture, notably in kitchens, is mixing different styles together, as thegreat fashion houses do when they mix different types of clothes togetherresulting in unusual, but surprisingly harmonious combinations. And on the marketyou can find, for example, country kitchens made of wood furniture, which couldnot be more classic than that, combined with aluminum appliances, which createa new, but not out of place, matching.
Furniture, butalso accessories, can be real design objects: fancifully colored and shaped,they can make each kitchen unique and aesthetically valuable. Even thecommonest and most trivial objects, like dishes and tableware, can embellishand make a kitchen special, if they are the fruit of the work of a goodcreative designer, and it is more appropriate than ever these days to claimthat the table is not to be set, but dressed, and it get dressed withtablecloths and accessories that would not look out of place in an atelier. Andwhat about appliances, which are more and more innovative andhyper-technological, and which make our kitchens look like futuristic, almostspace islands?
Modern kitchensare very different from the kitchens of the past, and kitchens manufacturersare asked to offer more and more innovative models, which do not only need tobe functional, but also have to satisfy the eye and the aesthetic sense ofcustomers.
