KITCHENS

Valcucine • The finest kitchens from technology, design and environmental approaches.

Kitchens today have unlimited possibilities for both looks and function. The only limitation is one’s imagination. From old-world looks which include hand-carved wood details to pristine spaces with carbon fiber and glass, kitchen design is hot.

The best approach is to determine the layout for function, then layer in the components. Why install standard upper cabinets when you can have a door which spans eight feet and opens so that not only can all the contents be seen at once, but you can't bang into the corners of the open doors?

Think vertically to save space. A "lazy susan" can go the entire height of the wall to take advantage of wasted corner space, instead of stopping under the countertop.
