Marvellous European Kitchen Design Inspiration

Taking a deep dive into kitchen design elements I love, that can be found in classic European kitchens – all to inspire the direction of our own new build kitchen.

We are now living in our very unfinished pole barn home, and turning our focus first on finishing the heart of the home – the kitchen!

“EAT-IN” KITCHENS

The “eat-in” kitchen is so charming to me! While 99% of America (that’s a guess) goes for the traditional kitchen bar, I’m going to brave the 1% and design our own “eat-in” kitchen.

OPEN SHELVING

I love it! I would love to see all my favorite dishes and bowls beautifully displayed, whether that be on lower shelves, upper shelves, or unique pieces of furniture.

RANGE FOCAL POINT

I swoon every time I see a cozy enclosed range area. It gives the kitchen a nice focal point and allows you to play around with different elements.

MIXED METALS

I adore this new trend! It’s hard for me to settle on one metal finish (I love so many) so the freedom to mix and match is liberating. The more patina you can get in a metal – the better!

TWO-TONES AND PAINTED CABINETS

I love white cabinets and I love painted cabinets . . . so I’m doing both! This idea of painted cabinets is the one that left my jaw dropped, so I’m taking my color cues from them.

PANEL READY APPLIANCES

I’m drawn to the look of seamless cabinetry and clean lines, so we made it a priority to find panel ready appliances for our kitchen.
