Modern Space Saving Mini Kitchen from Ensci

The Modern Space Saving Mini Kitchen from Ensci is great in places where the space is premium. The mini kitchen is quite an invention and will even let you enjoy keeping everything you need at your fingertips. The countertop is movable and slides pretty well to reveal the range, sink, storage, cupboards and even plenty of cabinets. Imagine, all this in just one kitchen unit. When you are not using it, the kitchen closes up, giving a minimalist, streamlined look and some much-needed organization to what is the most-used, most-chaotic room in the home.

Improve the looks of a kitchen

While we lounge in the living room and sleep in the bedroom, it is often the kitchen that is our “favorite room”. After all, it is the kitchen that provides us with so many memories of great meals! While cooking can make a kitchen memorable, it would also be a nice thing if it was also memorable for its fine and stunning look. So, if your kitchen is barebones, it may be a good idea to consider remodeling it. This can be a very fun venture since remodeling the kitchen often comes with the potential for bringing out your creative side.

The baseline design of a kitchen is functional. It is commonly equipped with a stove, cabinets, and refrigerator. Again, this is all well and good as far as function goes. In terms of aesthetics, however, it is quite lacking and that would be unfortunate as there are many, many ways a kitchen can be made creative and inviting. This is because there are many different methods of design and decorating that can be employed to transform a kitchen into something quite visually inviting, unique, and special. However, it would not be accurate to assume a huge overhaul will be needed to revamp a kitchen. More often than not, the process is much simpler than most assume.

For example, simply modifying the types of cabinets in the kitchen can provide significantly improve the look and feel of a kitchen. Far too often, the cabinets in a kitchen are simply painted a single color with no other distinguishable features. However, there is much more that can be done with cabinets. Resurfacing and re-laminating the cabinets can completely revamp their appearance. This revamped appearance will then make the entire kitchen more visually appealing. This is because even the most minor of improvements will have a ripple effect throughout the entire kitchen. It also goes to show you that even small alterations to a kitchen can improve its overall look.

It would also be helpful to replace any old or dulled kitchen furniture. If a table has seen better days, then it might be best to replace so it no longer detracts from the kitchen. For those that may not have the budget to replace the table, purchasing a new tablecloth could do the trick as well. Again, the process of improving the look of a kitchen is rarely expensive or complicated. Often, it is small, simple modifications can yield tremendous results.

Giorgio Armani’s “Calyx” Kitchen


Dubbed “the disappearing kitchen,” Giorgio Armani’s “Calyx” kitchen is a slick and glossy design with long modern lines and bold, flat accents. Developed with a neat satin finish to give a heavy golden impression, Armani’s kitchen is meant to fold up and neatly fit behind wide doors and large panels, literally vanishing into the simplicity of its design. Created in collaboration with the design studio Dada, the complementary dining tables, refrigerator, dishwater, steam and standard ovens, food warming drawer, gas stove and wine cellar can all be adjusted to hide (as required) behind the panels which have the same finish as the walls. A great concept for a modernist home (especially for those among us with a love for Armani’s signature design style), this kitchen would be a brilliant premise for those interested in entertaining in a high-end modular concept home. So be sure and contact your private architect to get them on board!

Futuristic Kitchen Concept Design by Sebastien Poupeau

This awesome futuristic kitchen concept design was designed by Sebastien Poupeau. At a first glance this kitchen might look like an Apple product, clean design, sleek lines, and of course eye catching, but this beautiful design is a futuristic kitchen that offers “a food cutting area, a digital screen enabling the cooker to pilot the equipment, listen to music or access to the web to find recipes for instance — this ‘multi-screen’ is extended by a dining surface.” On both sides stand two units; one with induction hobs and an oven for cooking, preparing; the other with a sink and its drying rack fitted into and a dishwasher with two separated racks. The project also envelops an upper level for the hood and a heating area. A light made of optical fibre under the surface holds the glasses over the guests.

Round Modern Kitchen Countetops from Pedini

Pedini round kitchen countetops could become a new trend in kitchens design, because of super ergonomic technologies, a gorgeous minimal look and the round countertop that gives an impressive amount of possibilities. Isn’t that cool when you can reach your stove, shelves, fridge, cutting board and other stuff needed to cook without making a step? Finally I can say that the Pendini kitchens are so beautiful and stylish that you’ll want to spend more time in your kitchen than ever before.

The Lap Counter by Tomas Kral


For those of you who spend time cooking here is an interesting idea designed by Tomas Kral that might be quite useful. The Lap Counter is a plastic tray and a neat kitchen facility, which gives you the mobility to peel, chop, slice fruits and vegetables almost anywhere in the house. It’s ergonomically shaped to fit the lap of the sitting person and it’s molded for both a container and a working surface.

will barely siton your drying rack or fit in your washing machine, so it’s better thinking in the direction of assembling different modules, but besides that the Lap Counter is a brilliant facility for your prep cooking comfort.
