Cupboard Buffet
Kitchen Furniture Extravagance or Austerity
There has always been a clear distinction between modern kitchen furniture that is basic cheap and purely functional and that which costs an extortionate amounts of money with all the top end design features, superior materials and luxurious trimmings such as marble or granite worktops and state of the art technological innovations including integrated cooker, microwave oven, electro- mechanical waste disposal unit, video/audio systems, online integrated computer station facilities and integrated TV, to mention but a few.
In fact, extravagant kitchen furniture is the realm of the very wealthy whose budget can buy the most expensive available whilst we would associate austere furniture with budget kitchens that are functional and of inferior quality comparatively speaking. We remember the retro styles of the sixties, the kitchen chairs, cupboards with their Formica/ melamine finish and doors with translucent glass centres. They were sparse in comparison to the average kitchen furniture of today and had little if any integrated appliances. They were however functional as regards providing food storage space and work top area and represented satisfaction in meeting the requirements of the average family. Strangely we see similar shape kitchens in minimalist styles today with smaller eye level cupboards and base units finished in glossy paint colours. The worktops are however can be in granite or marble and the kitchens themselves can be extremely expensive as they are now the cutting edge of latest kitchen designs and represent innovation. These kitchens are at the top end of the market as regards kitchen furniture and bear only a fleeting similarity to its predecessors of some fifty years ago.
On the other hand we can scrutinise the austerity of solid wood kitchen furniture and see that it is cheaper to buy than the new retro styles and provides better value for money.
Bespoke kitchen furniture can be both extravagant and austere depending on what the customer wants. If we associate austerity with lack lustre looks and minimal quality and design then we are looking at cheap kitchen furniture, however in modern design we can have a combination of plain looks with top end materials and fully integrated equipment with all the mod cons. Many associate extravagance with what is beyond the normal requirements in any kitchen. There is a way however of achieving this apparent dichotomy. By installing individually chosen kitchen units you can design and create your own bespoke kitchen furniture being as extravagant or as austere as you wish. This method achieves a mixture of both extremes and can be very effective in providing kitchen storages furniture that bridges the divide between extravagance and austerity.
