Create a co-ordinated and stylish look with your kitchen furniture
Kitchen furniture may not immediately spring to mind if you have a fitted kitchen but most homes still have some space for free-standing kitchen furniture that can be moved around. Popular furniture items for kitchens include wine racks, dressers and display cabinets.
A fitted kitchen normally has everything you need including hideaway storage, some display and plenty of places to keep your entire foodstuff safe. When designing kitchens it’s often the case that it is all fully fitted but it certainly doesn’t have to be. Modern kitchens can incorporate quite a lot of free standing furniture and that way you get versatility and can take your beautiful furniture with you if you should move. Traditional kitchens always had plenty free standing furniture and it would have normally had the table and chairs for dining. Dressers were popular items in kitchens as they could hold a lot of things and be used to display your best china.
As for today you will find kitchen furniture in a lot of different woods with oak and pine being very popular. Of course your kitchen can contain items of furniture that are normally associated with other rooms in the house like bookcases or CD racks both of which are perfectly at home in your kitchen. Then there are the dining/kitchen specific items like wine racks and butchers trolleys or kitchen islands for preparing food. There is of course no reason why you can’t have a TV cabinet in your kitchen or a place for your music system if you like cooking with background noise or indeed following a cookery programme on TV.
Kitchens are often the hub of the house and people naturally gravitate towards them for gatherings or getting together for a cup of tea. Kitchens need to be easy to clean and keep tidy and that’s why fitted kitchens are popular but it doesn’t stop you having other furniture in the room. Quite often you have some seating around the kitchen where people can relax and unwind. Even a small kitchen can have free-standing kitchen furniture, and as a lot of it such as the wine racks and butchers trolleys are set on castors they can be tucked away in a corner when not being used.
If you have a large kitchen that you do use for dining then a range of kitchen furniture would suit. The larger the room the more big and bold the furniture can be and soft oak tones or natural pine would look great regardless of the kitchen units you have. There are more modern styles of kitchen furniture so if you do have a very contemporary kitchen then the pieces will match in with that. People do use their kitchens for lots of different things and even have office space set up there so bare that in mind when you are planning your kitchen space.
A well planned kitchen can suit all of your needs, so if you have a family you could plan in some space for young children to play or do homework. If you like spending time having a meal with friends then the kitchen table is ideal for that, just make sure you have all you need to hand such as wine in your wine rack! Many people now use the kitchen for most of their entertaining as they can spend time with their guests and be cooking at the same time. Traditionally kitchens used to be the heart of a lot of houses and I think it’s safe to say that we have a return to that kind of use for our kitchens. Good kitchen furniture is a must so do factor in any free-standing furniture you need when you design even your fitted kitchen.
