Euro style kitchens are a wonderful mix of contemporary design with a light dusting of traditional, warm touches. What I love is that Europeans who are surrounded by history and historically significant architecture totally embrace super modern kitchens and baths.
The uber-modern, design blog, VictorBlogg provided some beautiful interiors for this post.
I am struck with clean lines found in these European kitchens. Integrated cabinets make these spaces look like clean, custom cabinetry without the mess of the average kitchen. I think the lack of hardware makes these rooms look so seamless.
One design touch that keeps things grounded are the subtle details of the room’s architecture. Notice the herringbone floors, fantastic old windows and plater crown molding? Fantastic. European Style kitchen lighting appears to also be seamless. Simple spots and elegant under cabinet lights create the right amount of illumination.
These European kitchens are also clean-lined however introduce some old-world touches when it comes to accessories. Cabinets still remain sleek, but the introduction of wooden stools, chairs and stylish kitchen lighting show a more playful side to the austere design scheme. Eclectic chandeliers make for easy conversation starters...assuming you can speak the language!
1. The Possini Euro Chrome Edison Style Cluster Bulb Chandelier has that one-of-a-kind feel that can play nicely off minimal-style cabinets.
2. Create ideal task lighting with the WAC White LED Under Cabinet Light Bar.
3. The funky, Set of 2 Azzo White Plastic Side Chairs, pack great design punch in any breakfast room.
4. Trying to find something with a Mid-century look like these Zuo Wire Chrome Finish Bar Chairs would be fantastic.
