Behind the scenes of taste – representative and working kitchen

“How to design a premium kitchen”, ‘solutions for kitchens in residences’. – are the buzzwords that we will try (at least partially) to answer in today’s article.

In luxury homes and residences in Poland and abroad, a solution that redefines the concept of convenience and aesthetics is increasingly common – two kitchens. One, the representative one, is the showcase of the house, full of elegance and style. The other, working one, is the hidden heart of culinary activities, where everything that later reaches the table is created.

A space that delights

Imagine you are hosting a party. Your guests are gathered around an island in the kitchen open to the living room, with glasses of wine in their hands. Conversations flow freely, and the aesthetics of the space complement the atmosphere of elegance.

This is the function of a representative kitchen – a place that is supposed to be beautiful and harmonious, designed to inspire awe.

It’s a world where aesthetics plays first fiddle and order is almost inscribed in its character. You won’t find traces of cooking or haphazard dishes here. The representative kitchen is the stage on which the spectacle of elegance and style takes place. When designing it, you do not have to make functional concessions. Precious materials, such as stone or wood, will not be so vulnerable here.

Secret culinary workshop

Just outside the door, hidden and invisible to guests, is the working kitchen – the place where all the culinary fuss happens. Here you are free to cut, stir, fry and bake, without worrying about messes or smells that could disrupt the atmosphere of the living room.

Noises generated by household appliances, pots and cutlery, also remain in this space created for culinary harmony.

A working kitchen, also known as a “dirty kitchen,” is a space where functionality matters. Sturdy countertops, large sinks and open shelves create a space that supports any culinary challenge. It can also serve as a pantry.

A large number of cabinets allow you to conveniently store all your kitchen tools, and properly designed lighting allows you to do everything from slicing to decorating desserts with precision.

Two Kitchens in One Home – For Whom?

Having two kitchens is especially popular in residences and large houses, where the square footage allows for this convenience.

It is ideal for people who:

• frequently organize parties or business meetings,
• use the services of a chef or catering,
• cook with passion, appreciating functional facilities,
• value order and harmony in the common space,
• are sensitive to the smells and noises associated with cooking.

With two kitchens, everyday life and special occasions take on a new dimension.

By moving “more cooking” to another room, we don’t need as much of a work surface in a kitchen open to the living room. We can use this space, for example, for a hidden coffee corner, which is a strong trend in interior design.

Thanks to such elements, the kitchen becomes an oasis for morning coffee-making rituals and conversations with friends.
