As one of the most frequently used rooms in a home, your kitchen should be efficient and stylish, and it’s never a bad idea to introduce a sense of luxury.
Here are a few of the most in-demand kitchen amenities this year:
The Scullery
Centuries ago, sculleries were quite common in homes. Today, they’re roaring back into style for homeowners who like to entertain. A scullery gives you additional space for storage, preparation, and much more—which is especially helpful for catering. It’s like having a second, smaller version of your kitchen tucked out of view.
The Larder
The larder was a popular kitchen amenity prior to the invention of the refrigerator because it kept food cool and fresh. Modern larder cupboards are resurging as a reinvention of the classic fixture. This fixture is increasingly popular due to the ample space it offers and the variety of foods it can safely store.
The Blast Chiller
A blast chiller is designed to rapidly cool and freeze food—even if it’s piping-hot! Flavors and nutrients are preserved better, bacteria growth is prevented, and the shelf life of your food is extended. Smeg® offers an assortment of models, like this stainless-steel one.
Metallic Finishes
Flashy metallic finishes are all the rage these days, particularly brass and gold. Copper is gaining popularity too, and since it has antibacterial properties, it makes the perfect hygienic addition while bringing a touch of warmth to your kitchen!
These amenities are all fantastic ideas for your personal culinary zone. If you’d like to hear about other features that have been trending, I’ve got plenty more!
