How to Create Vintage Interiors: Domestic Kitchen

The interior design of the Kitchen has always been known as the heart of the home or your place of business. There are very few rooms in a property which are essential for the healthy functioning of that establishment. The Kitchen and Bathroom are at the top of that list. Both people and animals need to eat or at the very least remain hydrated on a daily basis to maintain their health. This role of catering for one of the basic needs for life, falls squarely on the shoulders of the Kitchen. The primary function of this space is food preparation, and its secondary function is to serve as a nurturer to us all. If the primary function is not evident then this room just becomes a food storage space where people occasionally congregate. The great news about the kitchen, is that it will only need to be changed once every 5-15 years depending on the lifestyles of those who will use this space. During this period of time, you may require a few minor upgrades i.e. countertops, appliances, depending on how much your lifestyle changes over the years. As result of the demands placed on the kitchen, it is wise to invest a sizable portion of your budget in acquiring durable high-quality appliances, fittings and fixtures. The Focal Point of The Kitchen: The focal point of the kitchen of your ‘Home’, ‘Property’ or ‘Building’ is the food preparation areas. This is considered to be a success if all the attributes and sight lines work together to lead your eye towards those key features that welcome you warmly into this interior space, that you are about to share and experience in. Your desire to achieve a functional kitchen, is not determined by your ability to produce gourmet meals. Your desire to simply create a functional space which will nourish and nurture you without judgement is paramount to the success of your kitchen. Visitors to your property will only enter this space via invitation, if you so wish to bestow this honour upon them.
