Kitchen pictures thread - Show us your kitchens!

Looks good :-) what kind of flooring do you have? Pandomo or something like that?

I have a question about the lighting: Is that the "Lucide SIGMA" above the island? If yes, are you satisfied with the workmanship, the light, etc. (it is one of my top choices for an area of the kitchen)

That is a Molto Luce Lens Double PDI DALI, and it produces amazing light. 111W and 11480 lm :D
Only downside so far: The individual shutters around the lenses attract dust magically and as soon as the light is on, they look totally dirty...

What kind of floor do you have? Pandomo or something?

Exposed concrete. After a quick check what Pandomo is: Yes, something like that. Pandomo simply seems to be a brand name of a supplier. It may differ slightly but in principle it’s the same.

I have been in this forum for about a year now and have been observing – among other things – kitchens and bathrooms.

What I notice: The rectangle has prevailed. At first, I don’t find that either bad or good. There is room for “new things” here as well, but at first glance, I have to say, they all look very similar. No, you don’t always have to reinvent and design everything. The question is: Is it done this way because it is pleasant, or because it is just “the way it’s supposed to be”? It reminds me of Japanese design, and the Japanese are at the top of my “these are masters” list. Nonetheless, I remain somewhat amazed. One reason for this astonishment is that I think when life comes into such a kitchen, the design idea goes out the window … Personally, “all of it” is TOO angular and boxy for me, but I admit it “has something.”

Part of this amazement may also be due to the fact that I assume most of the photos of kitchens and bathrooms shown here (that I have seen) tend to be in a higher financial league. The space alone, which is usually required, is generously sized. That has always been a good prerequisite for pleasant architecture.

… just wanted to share that :-)

I believe the angular standard and the relative similarity are also a product of the current times. Kitchens are indeed something very individual, but everyone uses the same modular system, which ultimately limits the variance a bit.

With today's prices for custom-made solutions or those not off the shelf, it makes you feel sick. Because the modular system already offers a lot, there aren't many who can or want to spend two to three times as much for a truly individual solution.

Fits very well with the house - it wouldn't be my living style, but I do find it quite chic and consistent. A bit classic "ARD Tatort set in the wealthy milieu" :)

I believe the squared standard and the relative similarity are also a product of the current times. Kitchens are indeed something very individual, but everyone uses the same modular system, which ultimately limits the variance somewhat.

With today's prices for custom-made solutions or those that are not off-the-shelf, it’s quite upsetting. Because the modular system already offers a lot, there aren’t many who can or want to spend two to three times as much for a truly individual solution.

For a house like that, I find the shape harmonious – it just becomes silly on a 60 sqm terraced house floor plan.
