Sleek and simple kitchens
I’ve been on a traditional kick lately – let’s redress that today with some sleek and citified kitchens. I like this layout, with its arrays of appliances in the wings. Yes, it probably violates some “rules” about landing spaces, but it works for me:
A bit of a bowling alley look? Plenty of work surface, and windows to die for:
I think the architecture wins out below, too – the kitchen is just a little too busy – it doesn’t quite achieve sleekness:

The aptly named “Star” hood by Elica is a great contrast against the simple background
This entire clean-lined collection is courtesy of 1st Option, a location agency based in London. Pretty cool, huh?







Well I don’t suppose you are supposed to cook in this kitchen, are you? Just get your microwavable dinners from Marks and Spencers or Waitrose — all very good, by the way, streets ahead of Stouffers and Whole Foods.
How on EARTH does someone keep that Star hood clean?
