What is a designer kitchen?
A designer kitchen is a modern kitchen where appearance is as important as use. Flat fronts without handles, a slim worktop and luxury appliances that are neatly concealed create a kitchen that looks tidy and modern. In a designer kitchen, materials such as wood, composite and stainless steel are often used, along with light or just dark colors that go well with the rest of the interior. With clever cabinetry, a logical layout and good lighting, cooking in a designer kitchen becomes a pleasure every day. You can choose from minimalist handle-less designer kitchens, luxury variants with an island and many other styles, so there is always a designer kitchen to suit your home and way of life.
What makes a designer kitchen so special?
What makes a designer kitchen special is the way style and convenience converge in one space. A designer kitchen is often designed around your own living preferences, with choices in arrangements, types of cabinets and materials such as wood, natural stone, glass or stainless steel. Straight surfaces without handles, neatly concealed appliances and clever touches of lighting give the kitchen a modern, luxurious look. A lot of attention is also paid to storage space, working height and logical walking routes, so that a designer kitchen is not only beautiful to look at, but also pleasant to use in everyday life.
Materials and colors
In a designer kitchen, the choice of materials plays a big role in how you experience the space. For the worktop, ceramic, composite or natural stone is often chosen; these tops are strong, hard-wearing and easy to keep clean. You can choose from a variety of colors and finishes, from matte to high gloss, so that the kitchen blends nicely with the style of your home. Using the same material in the worktop and back wall creates a calm look-without making the room look crowded or cluttered. Even the cabinets in a designer kitchen usually have flat fronts, often handle-less and finished in lacquer, veneer or plastic. Neutral tones such as white, gray, black and warm wood colors are common here, possibly complemented by darker details in taps, handles or lighting. In this way, your kitchen will have a modern, luxurious appearance, where it is a pleasure to cook, eat and receive guests.
Layout and closet space
In a designer kitchen, the layout plays an important role: the walking route between cooktop, sink and refrigerator is kept as short as possible, so that you don't have to take many steps while cooking. Depending on the space, you can choose a straight arrangement, an L-kitchen, a U-kitchen or a kitchen with an island, always with enough space on the worktop around the cooking zone and the sink. The cabinets often use wide, low drawers that house pans, dishes and supplies neatly; inner drawers and organizers are often used so you can see at a glance what is where. Corner cabinets can be equipped with swivel or pull-out systems so that even the hard-to-reach areas can be used. A tall cabinet wall has room for appliances at a comfortable height, plus extra storage for supplies and utensils not used daily. Matching the layout to your cooking style creates a designer kitchen where every cabinet, drawer and niche has a distinct function.
Equipment and technology
In a designer kitchen, appliances play a big role in how you use the space. Induction hobs are favored for their quick response and lower energy consumption, often with flush installation in the worktop for a tranquil appearance. Increasingly, cooktops are being chosen in which the extraction is directly co-designed, eliminating the need for separate chimney hoods and extracting cooking vapors directly at the source. Modern ovens often have multiple functions in a single appliance, such as combining hot air with steam, allowing you to be precise with temperature and cooking methods. Refrigerator-freezers, dishwashers and coffee makers also tend to be placed in high cabinetry so that everything sits at a fine working height. Additional comfort comes from technology such as a boiling water faucet, smart lighting and appliances you can control via an app; thus, the kitchen fits well with a modern way of living and cooking.
