Kitchens are one of the most utilitarian spaces in our homes. To this Rioter for Design (who doesn't really like to cook), they even feel a bit predictable and obligatory. Like, FU, if I don't want a kitchen I don't have to have one! Well, OK fine, I guess I do need to stave off bacteria by altering the temperatures of nutrient sources from time to time, so yeah I guess I DO in fact need a kitchen. But that doesn't mean it has to look like one.
The best way to accomplish the UnKitchen is to experiment with materials that are not typically found in kitchens. Also, introducing silhouettes associated with other areas of the home, as well as artwork and upholstery are other ways to make a kitchen feel more like a customized space. Kitchens are allowed to have personalities too!
Below are some of my favorite UnKitchens:
Not a tile in sight.
Copper cabinetry- save your pennies. Maybe someday you can melt them down.
The architecture, molding, fireplace and antique wooden furniture suggest this room was not originally designed to be a kitchen.
Ditto this one.
I ain't afraid of no color.
Minimalist cabinetry makes this kitchen easy to miss.
Art on display
Retail-styled display
An entertainer's kitchen- who needs a stove in Candyland?
The repurposed antique console as a sink, as well as the rugs, give a much softer, cozier feel than your typical kitchen.
Art gallery / kitchen
Did someone say 50's sci-fi bomb shelter chic?!
Grainy goodness
