Kitchens are increasingly becoming an integral part of our homes. They are usually open to the living room, which makes them look more and more like it. Aesthetics are as important as function, and cooking becomes a pleasure.

There are two main trends in kitchen design. One is the so-called “invisible” kitchen. Discreet buildings with straight fronts, almost embedded in the wall, colors corresponding to the rest of the living area, equipment hidden in the buildings. All this makes this part of the house immaculate and at first glance it is an extension of the living room.

The second – opposite design trend are kitchens that seem to shout: Attention, I’m here! In this type of interior, the equipment usually plays the first fiddle – it comes in intense colors and catches the eye with its refined design. Forms reminiscent of the design of the 1950s and strong color accents usually dominate here.

The power of details

In both cases, accents that have rarely been present in kitchen spaces are desired – an elegant chandelier or a designer lamp, a painting or poster in a decorative frame or decorative wallpaper – all this will make the kitchen look elegant and will fit well with the living room.

Which fittings should I choose?

Depending on your preferences – in a kitchen that is supposed to be “invisible”, it is best to use simple but elegant faucets. A good choice here will be the ARDESIA collection from FDESIGN in beautiful black and gold colors. In turn, for fans of retro aesthetics who want to display their equipment, we can recommend the LACRIMA collection, which refers to the aesthetics of yesteryear. It looks especially good in old bronze.
