Kitchens are no longer reserved for cooking. They’ve become a centrepiece of our homes, often offering dual purposes. Whether your kitchen is used for cooking, eating, living or all three, this shift in functionality has thrown up some extra design considerations. If you’re looking for kitchen inspo, here’s our five favourite kitchens of the week.

Italian Reimagination
We love the design and architecture of this kitchen, but also the story behind it, which goes to show interior design is about more than what meets the eye. What you see in the image is the work of Italian architect Alfredo Vanotti, but also his great-grandfather, who built the initial foundations in the early 1900s.
Alfredo’s reimagination brings the kitchen into the 21st century while also maintaining its ancient charm. We love the combination of stone walls, wooden roofing and vintage pictures with modern worktops and a chic fireplace which takes centre stage. It almost sounds like it shouldn’t work, but as you can see, it absolutely does!

Cosy Cottage
Modern-day minimalism isn’t for everyone, and it’s perfectly okay if you still find comfort in cosiness. When trying to achieve the cosy vibe in 2025, the cottage kitchen above shows just how to achieve this.
It’s decorative but not cluttered, and colourful without being tacky. We also think the small space adds to the cosiness, proving that you don’t need a huge open space to create the perfect kitchen.
Open Plan Perfection
The region of Scandinavia pops up time and time again in interior design, and there’s good reason for this—just take a look at this single-wall kitchen below from Caroline Sandström. In recent years, modern kitchens have blurred the lines between eating and living, and we love Caroline’s take on this super modern, minimalist kitchen, which doubles as a living area.
The key here is consistency, in both colour and material. The interior works for both living spaces and cooking spaces, but also flows effortlessly, resulting in zero separation between the two areas. If trying to recreate this, don’t forget to add a sprinkle of luxury homeware to take your space from plain to polished.
Rustic Retro
If you’re looking for rustic kitchen inspiration, look no further than Carolina Irving’s quirky kitchen on the coast. While there’s no shortage of colours on display, they combine to offer boldness without being in your face. The white walls also allow the array of different colours to combine, and also help the space keep its rustic feel.
Materials are key here. The wooden seating, ceramic plates and hard-wearing rug help to keep things vintage and wholesome while also adding unique character and personality. It might not be for everyone, but it’s definitely for us!
Modern Luxury
With everyone fancying themselves as an interior designer these days, it can often lead to kitchens looking ‘samey’. But Kristin Fine shows us just how to make a modern kitchen stand out. The first thing we noticed was the natural lighting, which bounces around the room. Then you’ve got the rusticness of the beam, the contemporary pendants and the elegant stools.
However, it’s the marble dining area that takes centre stage here, oozing luxury and styled with items that complement without taking away from its elegance. We love the pop of green too, which works perfectly with the luxurious white marble. While it may be costly to recreate this kitchen, we think it’s worth every penny.
