Form Follows Food: 7 Homes with Luxury Kitchens |
The kitchen has always been the heart of the home. Over the centuries, it has transformed from the center of domestic life to the centerpiece of the home. It’s the one room that has the potential to increase or decrease the value of a property. Of course, every homeowner has their own version of the ideal kitchen, but the hallmark of the dream kitchen is the harmonious balance between form and function. Professional-grade appliances, smart technology, ambient lighting, elegant finishes, comfortable furnishings, and practical storage and dining spaces are all integral to the art of kitchen design; each piece carefully curated for the culinarian or the entertainer, or those who fall somewhere in between. And whether it’s a kitchen in a palace or a pied-à-terre, no matter: Efficiency must go hand in hand with artistry. |
