CLASSIC KITCHENS WITH A HIGH-TECH TWIST

Bespoke is the latest buzzword for kitchens, it's such an important space that it's essential you get absolutely everything you want out of it.

My advice right now is to opt for classic kitchens with a high-tech and highly functional twist.

Custom made cabinetry teamed with clever design features and high specification appliances are far preferable to the look-but-don't-touch minimalist approach which looks chic but often lacks warmth and any real usability.

The kitchen currently has to work much harder than ever before: it needs to be a comforting family area, an expert cooking facility and a slick space for home entertaining all rolled into one.

The new high specification classic kitchens provide the perfect compromise - a touch of soft nostalgia in the design combined with responsibly sourced materials and state-of-the-art energy efficient appliances.

Whilst inspired by the features of a traditional kitchen, the new classic kitchen has also been heavily influenced by modern design trends and advanced technology.

This new breed of classic kitchen has everything - open plan areas that offer a sense of sharing and togetherness and American style semi-commercial appliances that add an ultra luxurious edge. By an evitavonni designer.
