Italian Kitchens: Adopt the Warmth and Informality of this Italian Kitchen Design in Your Own Kitchen
Italian kitchen designs are a contrast to those of their far northern European neighbors. This Italian kitchen emphasizes warm wood tones, raised panel cabinets, and the casual feeling of copper cookware and ropes of garlic hanging openly within arm's reach of the chef. In the far north, white walls and unshaded windows garner every ounce of sunlight during long, dark winters. Here, in a land of abundant sunshine, brighter off-white tones are limited to the kitchen island cabinets and the tile backsplashes behind the cooktop and kitchen sink area. The wrought iron chandelier- hanger, turned wood details on the island bookcase and lower cabinets, warm granite countertops, and shell-shaped ornamental hardware are other touches that would be at home in American as much as Italian kitchen designs. So if you want to give your home on the range a touch of sunny Italy - go for it!
