The Italian kitchen is a unique design that compliments and emphasizes lifestyle, family, and a strong passion for cooking. If these are the defining characteristics of your ideal kitchen, then the Italian kitchen is definitely the design for you. The following are some of the most common features of an Italian kitchen, but for more in-depth information and assistance we recommend speaking with one of our design professionals.

The Italian kitchen lies directly under the Tuscan sun

The Italian kitchen is usually based on the colors reflecting the year-long Tuscan sun and its warmth. This means integrating soft and subtle textures with earthy colors, as well as adding as much natural sunlight as possible. For a golden glow over your Italian kitchen, hang yellow or translucent drapes over the windows.

The familia gathers in the Italian kitchen

In the Italian kitchen, the family both cooks and eats together, making meal times a true family experience. This mans that you will want to create enough space for several people to move freely around the kitchen, and several small preparation areas. You may also want to integrate furniture and entertainment around the Italian kitchen, such as small sofas or a TV to accommodate everyone. It is important to remember that the Italian Kitchen is not just the counter, stove, and sink area, but also the dining area and kitchen table, so remember to incorporate them into your design when planning an Italian kitchen.

The flavors of an Italian Kitchen

A major focus of the Italian kitchen is food and cooking. Hanging traditional Italian pots, pans, and utensils (those especially designed for cooking Italian meals, usually including olives, tomatoes, and grapes) can be extremely decorative, as can be dried vegetables and spices.


	Try to base your decorations for an Italian kitchen on the classical period from Michelangelo to Da Vinci, the Roman Empire, and the Renaissance, which all were times of tremendous Italian artworks that could compliment your design perfectly.
