Welcome back to The Design Lovers Podcast!
In this episode we lean into all things kitchen islands, pantries and shelving. Ways to improvise with pantries if you don’t have one per se. Out of sight, out of mind: if healthy ingredients are on display we’re more likely to eat them!
From a practical perspective having a pantry apparently prevents food wastage and excessive buying – is it a gimmick? We talk filler cupboards and form and function. We touch on allotments and how there is such a demand for them post covid.
Are kitchen islands a status symbol? Repurpose vintage pieces to create an island but consider scale and accessibility.
Open shelving – styling them and creating vignettes to bring you joy, but not for everyday storage as dust collectors. All of the above makes the kitchen feel more like a non-kitchen kitchen. Express yourself in the kitchen and remember to incorporate items that make you happy.
