A new kitchen is beautiful, fun and brings great pleasure in cooking. And it is undoubtedly a great investment. But an investment that pays off. And so kitchen design trends are once again embracing timelessness and extravagance in equal measure, linking the two concepts to create stylish kitchen spaces. Kitchens of today combine the cool functionalism of modernism and its clean lines with a luxurious aesthetic, where kitchen cabinets and cooking islands – often with unobtrusive handles – alternate with softly curved shapes for adjacent dining tables and surrounding upholstered furniture. As in a lounge, muted shades of beige, white, black or anthracite are refined with delicate hues that add freshness and individuality to the kitchen space. As can be seen at Poggenpohl, countertops several centimeters thick made of natural stone make impressive statements and stage spectacular contrasts to expressive wooden surfaces and filigree shelves. The possibilities of combination are surprising and almost limitless. Whatever the choice, the personal composition makes each kitchen unique.
EDITOR’S TIP: Planning a brand kitchen can be seen as a worthwhile investment. A kitchen like the one from Poggenpohl is designed to last around 20 years and – thanks to good quality materials, professional workmanship and its brand recognition – can significantly increase the value of a property.
