PHOTO FEATURE: Sociable Kitchens

In many homes, the kitchen is becoming one of the most important rooms, so it’s no surprise that today’s kitchens focus on sleek designs and stylish materials, whilst emphasising a spacious and ‘open’ feel.

Throughout human history, sharing food has been central to our social lives. From the earliest cave dwellers to the modern restaurant goers, we’ve always used food as the perfect excuse to get together with friends and family and share good times.

In modern times we’ve started taking this one step further, though, and begun sharing not just the food, but the cooking too. Ever more common is the kitchen-diner, the open plan house, or even just the kitchen hatch. We don’t just cook food and serve it, we share the cooking as well.


One way to achieve this balance is using an island as a seating area, so you won’t miss out on any of the conversation while you’re preparing dinner for family or friends – and parents can also use it to spend more time with their children over breakfast or homework.

Not everything about a chic kitchen has to be black, white, silver and shiny! Don’t be afraid to incorporate a modern kitchen into your style of home – they can be perfectly mixed with natural wood floors and wicker furniture.


Bespoke kitchens not only make use of every little nook-and-cranny, but also keep the overall design as sleek as possible. Walls and ceilings flow into one another when kept the same colour and appliances, such as microwaves, add to the smooth finish if integrated into cupboard space
