And here we have the kitchen...
The kitchen tends to play a decisive role when it comes to choosing the home of our dreams. Whether classic, modern, old-world charm or designer, the feeling we get upon entering the kitchen will be key as to whether or not we can imagine ourselves calling a property home.
Here at The Singular Space we have put together a selection of unique kitchens, all ready and waiting to welcome their future chefs.
A multifunctional space in keeping with the times
The role of the kitchen has come to the fore in recent years, expanding to play host to all sorts of activities beyond the mere preparation of meals.
It now constitutes a multifunctional space which must be ready at a moment’s notice to go from impromptu lunch venue to homework club or meeting room - somewhere we can connect a laptop for work or study.
The practical and open-plan layout of the kitchen in this stylish stone barn conversion is more than able to rise to such a challenge.
Timber and stone combine to create a rustic feel, whilst the lighter tones of the kitchen furniture and electrical appliances bring a more modern touch, giving it a very special look and feel.
A decorative style that matches your lifestyle
Are you looking for a property with a rustic-style kitchen, perfect for weekend barbecues? Or do you prefer a more refined and elegant space in which to prepare mouth-watering delicacies? Perhaps you’re just looking for somewhere to retreat into your cocoon and work when everybody else is home... Whatever your requirements, there are design elements that will be key to working out which type of interior best fits your lifestyle.
Natural materials such as timber and stone take centre stage in kitchens with a warm and rustic aesthetic, such as those found in this extraordinary period mansion in the heart of the Rioja region.
Bare wood and plentiful cupboard space give a particularly welcoming feel to the kitchen of this mill house retreat less than an hour from Madrid.
Minimalist, modern kitchens opt for sleek lines, lighter tones to brighten up the space and occasional hints of black to lend a more distinguished air. These are kitchens whose design prioritises functionality and a simple, pared-back aesthetic.
This designer townhouse in Colonia Manzanares perfectly exemplifies this style. The property has been fully refurbished and redecorated, and the clean finishes of its spectacular kitchen afford the home a refreshing sense of tranquility.
On the fifth floor of a period building in the Justicia neighbourhood of Madrid, the kitchen of this impressively light and airy duplex showcases minimalist style to perfection, creating a spacious, open feel.
The missing ingredient is you
Although - as we have seen - kitchen styles can vary widely, we recommend that you prioritise functionality and a welcoming feel in order to create a unique space that you will truly enjoy spending time in. All that’s missing is your personal touch!
