Kitchen
Everyone ends up in the kitchen. Nobody plans for it.
Every party migrates there within the hour, whatever effort went into the sitting room. Yet kitchens get furnished almost entirely for function, chosen around wipe-clean surfaces and appliance dimensions, and then people wonder why the room they spend most evenings in feels like a workspace. This is the other half of that argument. Browse the full kitchen and dining department, or the dining and tableware edit.
The working part.
Pans, boards, tools, and the plates and glassware that come out of the cupboard several times a day. Then the utility room for the bit afterwards that nobody enjoys, and pottery and glass artists to meet the people who made a good deal of it. Fill it from the food hall, tea and coffee and chocolate and sweets.
The part everybody forgets.
Kitchen lighting is almost universally too bright and too high, which is fine at seven in the morning and hostile at nine at night. A single lamp on a worktop changes the room entirely. After that: wall art, since kitchen walls are the ones you look at most and decorate least, mirrors and clocks, candles and home fragrance, and a rug, which sounds mad in a kitchen right up until you have stood at a sink for twenty minutes. Explore lighting and the wider home and decor collection.
The room that does the most work.
