Over the years, the kitchen has evolved to become the core
of the house, the family. It is no longer just a place to have
your meals; it is also a place to entertain and to gather loved
ones. Gone are the basic kitchens and as replacement,
we are looking at things like islands, strategic spotlights and
lightings, smart refrigerators, beautiful appliances and more
importantly, smartly designed cabinets and kitchen flows to
make this space easy to navigate and purposeful.
There is no such thing as a simple kitchen anymore. In fact,
recent designs have seen the kitchen being integrated into
the living or family room, especially for those with limited
space, where it is in complete full view. Think of it as the
gathering place – where you greet your loved ones early in
the morning with a cup of java and where a day ends with a
delicious dinner for two or more. It is where you entertain
guests with good food, great wine, and even better conversations.
Just pull up a kitchen chair and talk for hours.
