The heart of any home is undoubtedly the kitchen. When selling your home, it's a critical element of what buyers will base their decision on. When considering your renovation or building budget, the kitchen should be given the lion's share and the most thorough planning. If you are a regular reader of this blog, you will know that my style is definitely traditional so most of the pictures I have featured here are that style. I've thrown in a picture of a Lucinda Loya kitchen just because I love the creativity of the chain link bar stools.
Although not totally traditional, I'm totally, crazy in love with the Dunlin Stanley kitchen with copper pendants. It's just simply stunning and a fantastic example of how you can mix styles effectively. The Bear Hill interiors kitchen is a wonderful illustration of how using an interior designer for your kitchen can give you a unique kitchen that will definitely improve the value of your home. The bold use of colour and contrast with the wood is so effective and not something that you will find in any display home kitchen. I'm a sucker for a banquette and I will have to find a way to incorporate one into my next home. Tell me who doesn't want to sit in one when you go to a restaurant?
Another trend in kitchens and bathrooms is to use antiques pieces of furniture repurposed as a kitchen sink, island bench or vanity. The character bought buy using these pieces means that your kitchen is going to ooze with character and designer style. I love the picture of the kitchen I have posted via Traditional Home where they have used an antique buffet as an island bench and sink. This kitchen is divine and the amazing skylight roof and antique lighting finish off this spectacular design.
Let's talk splashbacks! Marble has always been a favourite and the Marco Meneguzzi kitchen certainly shows why so many people love it. I also love the circular tile design on the last Traditional Home kitchen I have featured. Simple and stunning.
I hope that you enjoyed this instalment of my love affair with kitchens! I'm sure to post some more pictures soon.
