Old World European Kitchen Designs -- A Blend of Old and New
When you think of European kitchens, you may picture a sleek, ultra-modern, Scandinavian design. But, old world European kitchen designs, like the one pictured here, are different than streamlined, high-tech, ultra-modern European kitchens.
Old world European kitchen designs feature natural materials and warmth. You can get this look by using natural materials throughout - from ceramic floors to granite counter tops to warm colored wood cabinets.
Yet, old world European kitchen designs are a timeless blend of old and new. This spacious European kitchen design features modern amenities unavailable in the old world, such as two sinks (one for kitchen prep work in the center island) and two ovens (a regular and convection oven). The hexagon shape of the kitchen is an innovative feature that allows more than one person to prepare food. This large space can host a party crowd to keep the cooks company - quite a change from the old-world tradition of closing off mama in the kitchen alone to do all the cooking.
