With an island and very sustainable, this is how the kitchens are to be inspired by this edition of Casa Decor

The kitchen has always been the heart of the house . A concept that we had put aside a bit in recent years due to the pace of life and that kitchens increasingly reduced their size. When I was little the kitchen was lived intensely. In addition to having breakfast in the kitchen, he had a snack, did his homework and "was in the kitchen" where he also welcomed his closest relatives. 

A concept that returns with force thanks to the kitchens open to the living room (more than to the living room, they open up to coexistence)   and the new concept of kitchen-dining room, which consists of leaving the living room only as a living area and stealing space to make a larger kitchen including dining room . But one of those beautiful ones that can be eaten daily and for special occasions.

This year's tour of the kitchens of Casa Decor 2021 , - in which at the level of style there is room for everything. confirms this trend. Whether they are classic, modern or elegant, they all have in common an island that connects them with the rest of the house . 

The other common denomination of the kitchens in this edition is sustainability, which can be seen in the use of more sustainable materials, but it is also the incorporation of plants into the kitchen . Which includes in some cases having a small vertical garden that includes the most used plants in the kitchen. Parsley is no longer bought. It is sown. And the same with basil, thyme ...

The most urban kitchen with palilleria and stone

On the second floor to the left is a kitchen designed by the interior designer Rosa Urbano , with a central island around which the rest of the furniture is organized and that ends in a practical dining room. 

The island combines a piece of furniture made of palillería wood , and a quartzite countertop from Naturamia, a Levantina brand ,  which has been cut and worked in detail for various applications: from the furniture frames and skirting boards to the foot of the dining table. or the rotating part as a serving hatch.

The most classic and timeless kitchen 

Beatriz Sánchez and Eva Martín, from Dosde Interiorismo , transformed one of the spaces on the third floor into a kitchen that they have called "A kitchen of their own", because it is inspired by the world of Virginia Wolf.

Under a spectacular biophilic installation by Guguiarte made with natural, organic and sustainable materials, the interior designers organized the kitchen with Delamora furniture , in two different finishes: in green , the cabinets that are attached to the walls, and in pink, for the central island. 

In both cases, they were combined with a Carrara marble top , also by Levantina. From the same company, it is the impressive checkerboard floor: Techlam, Opium Black and Jasper White porcelain tiles .The walls were covered with polyurethane plates that imitate wood, from Panespol System , the same as the ceiling beams.

The combination of plants, wood, checkerboard flooring and the impressive sink create a timeless effect, almost as if time has stood still or does not matter in this warm and enveloping space.

A modular, sustainable and vibrant kitchen

The architect Paula Rosales presents in this edition  a line of ecological kitchen furniture - toxic free -, bio-healthy and customizable. It is a modular storage system that adapts to space and people so that it can move in with you, just like your favorite furniture.

It consists of a base structure, a removable interior distribution and offers front panel possibilities in many materials and colors, always bio-healthy. In this case, a bright and intense yellow was chosen, which was tinged with white brushstrokes. Among these brushstrokes, that of the sink and the tap stand out , both by Franke.

The island has the new SapienStone Platinum White hob , which integrates an innovative induction hob that allows cooking directly on its surface.

The end result is a modern, vibrant and very cheerful kitchen that will give you a shot of good energy every day.

The best integrated kitchen 

The interior designer Manuel Espejo has designed a space that he has called "Kitchen for Living" -all a declaration of intentions-. In it, he has designed a kitchen open to the living room with a fresh, functional and very elegant interior design, and an island as a breakfast bar, made by Cocinas Río , which defines the living room and kitchen environments.

Despite the fact that there are not too many square meters, the kitchen is small but functional (it does not lack even the Thermomix) and the mirror finish of its furniture stands out in it , a resource with which light and meters are multiplied. The effect is elegant and sophisticated. A style very suitable for urban flats

Made of wood and with vertical garden 

Delta Cocinas presents us, by the hand of Jose Manuel Gómez, an impressive kitchen made with toxic-free materials and with water-based varnished finishes .

The space is organized around a large central island , which combines a metal structure with handcrafted solid oak wood doors finished in smoked ash with a metal linear handle. Next to the island, the main wall cabinet is made of ash and has two impressive mirrored glass doors that create a series of games of transparency and opacity playing with the LED lighting. This space features a ceiling decorated with dried plants and a closet that includes a fully digitized vertical hydroponic garden  to self-supply plants while cooking.
