As Remodelista editors, we see many, many kitchens and what we\u2019ve been noticing over the last decade is a slow de-kitchening<\/em> of kitchens\u2014a trend toward fewer bulky upper cabinets, a preference for components that look more like high-end furniture, a desire to decorate the space as you would any other room (with art, books, table lamps, etc.).<\/p>\n

Lately, we\u2019ve spotted quite a few kitchens that break the traditional kitchen mold\u2014almost completely\u2014and, thanks to lower cabinets that mimic the appearance of sideboards, look more like living or dining rooms.<\/p>\n


Above: This kitchen masquerading as a beautifully crafted console is, no surprise, made by a furniture company. You can custom-order The Broad from London-based studio Edward Collinson. The piece features oak drawers, a gray Marquina marble counter, a brass faucet, and a Nicola Tesla induction hob. Photograph by Felix Speller, styling by Hannah Franklin, courtesy of Collinson.

Above: Rather than a thick stone countertop, a sliver of stainless steel tops this length of kitchen counters for a more sideboard-like appearance. The eat-in kitchen (by Reform) was designed for a family of four in Denmark. Included in this section are an induction cooktop, an integrated extractor fan, and a sink (just out of view, to the right). A dishwasher is concealed behind a panel made to look like two drawers.

Above: Here\u2019s another example of a kitchen crafted by a furniture maker, this time by Barcelona-based Marc Morro. \u201cThe idea was to design and create a kitchen that could look as a piece of furniture for the living room,\u201d he tells us about this green varnished MDF and solid iroko piece.

Above: The airy, ethereal eat-in kitchen of London couturier Anna Valentine keeps appliances hidden (aside from a cooktop) and forgoes traditional cabinet pulls for minimalist pulls\u2014all of which gives the impression of storage furniture as opposed to kitchen cabinetry.

Above: At the Vipp Farmhouse vacation rental, the brand\u2019s powder-coated steel V1 wall module makes up the kitchen. Four pairs of legs give the unit the look of storage furniture.

Above: In this open-concept kitchen\/dining\/living space, this strip of walnut kitchen cabinets segues into an actual built-in console for the living area. The only difference is that the living room portion doesn\u2019t have the stainless steel countertop.
