That's been my experience. Woman fuckers make some of the best cooks and chefs. I've seen women get a long well with the guys and even take key roles, but the clam jousters and really take the stress but not be hostile and manage a kitchen.

If I had the money to design my own kitchen I'd make it much more practical, without losing anything on aesthetics. Open air cabinets are dumb, especially right next to the main cooking area. You need to walk around to get anything from the fridge or the actual cabinets. The sink is definitely on the wrong side, and should have one of those industrial dish washing hoses that all restaurants and FN personalities have. The stove should be twice the size, and ideally have a flat top as well. Putting your storage around ovens is simply bat shit retarded. The light up knobs are stupid and ugly, as is the overall color scheme (but that's just my taste). I'd cut off the right side counter and either make it an island or a horseshoe, with a raised area on that wasted left side with bar seats so you could actually entertain without your guests getting in your way when you walk around the corner to get to the fridge/backup ovens.

I could go on. It looks a lot nicer than my kitchen, but it just seems like a stupid waste of potential.

That's a commercial kitchen. The layout serves its purpose of cooking for multiple tables of people. If I'm cooking at home for my family I don't want to have to have any excess and wasted movement.

This. Gray cabinets are super trendy but aren't going to age well. Also, looks like you'd need to climb up onto the counter to reach the stuff on the top shelves. And what is the point of that hood if it just vents straight up?

Kitchen designer here, and there's some really nice things about it, and some impractical wastes for such a large, amazing space. That said, this is almost certainly a designed kiosk advertisement for Samsung and not someone's actual home, but there's an off chance that it could have been a product placement deal where they'll do an ad and work out monetary compensation to the person buying the appliances.

First off, the overall style is awesome. Lots of nice, simple, neutral colors that work well with each other and any other pieces you see (blue wall in the background, odd neon accent touches on the black stainless appliances). It's a fairly consistent retro-modern aesthetic (aged wood cabinets, sharp angles, etc.), and while there are a couple things slightly out of place (circular pendants when everything else is very angular, mismatching finish on the faucet vs other pieces in the room), it still pulls together very well as a whole.

Open shelving is great for certain things, like that stack of plates that probably sees daily use and won't get an accumulation of dirt on them and require a re-cleaning before usage. It's also good for rarely used, mostly decorative items like the vases you see up on the top right.

The basic structure of the kitchen is fine, as you've got a relatively decent triangle between range/sink/fridge, and there's no obstructions for a second person to be in the kitchen at the same time. If one person is cooking, the other person can get to the fridge or the sink/dishwasher and make themselves useful.

Now the missteps and bad things. As >>11263035 and >>11263603 touched on, the fridge is not in a perfect location, as that countertop juts out. The counter on the right side is actually way too deep for no real reason. You can tell that the tiles on the backsplash are 2'x2' squares, and that would make the countertop roughly 3' wide from left to right on that picture. That's fine if it's on an eating area, like it is on the left side, but you're not putting chairs in front of the fridge/wall oven to eat at - that's just dumb.

In order to keep this design, yet make it more practical, I would lose about 10 inches on that countertop, expanding the inner bit to accommodate a much larger range and also move the fridge to the right. This kitchen/kiosk is a slave to the design, rather than the practicality, which makes no sense if you're including things like a double wall oven that only someone who really uses their kitchen a lot would want. You can tell they wanted everything centered, either because that's the way the designer wanted, or because this is a kiosk and you're not spending extra on custom cabinetry.

For example, the open shelving units are both the same size. They built the countertop area around that, instead of simply having a smaller one on the right side to allow both a smaller countertop on the right and a larger work space in the middle. Same with the pantry cabinets - there's no reason other than design to go (left to right) pantry-fridge-pantry rather than larger pantry-fridge-filler or pantry-pantry-fridge-filler. Anyway, moving the fridge to the right lets the person walk around the countertop at a better angle without making sharp turns and bumping into it constantly.

But again, you can tell this is just an ad for Samsung if you GIS the pic. https://www.consumerreports.org/kitchen-appliances/the-appeal-of-black-stainless-appliances/

If it was a real kitchen and not product placement, you'd see a bigger range, but they probably don't have one in a larger size in the finish that they're advertising. A person actually living in that "home" almost certainly has no need for a double wall oven with only a regular sized range to boot. There really isn't a need to drop 3 grand on an extra appliance that you're never, ever gonna use, and this is clearly not a high-use kitchen.

[Anonymous No.11264566]

>>11264338
Nah, gray has the benefit of being a neutral color that works with lots of decor. That said, this is not even cutting edge design right _now_. Norwegian-style very pale natural colors are the new hotness. This has a set look, but a really good one that will last for decades.

>>11264363

Porcelain tiles and quartz countertops are very easy to clean, regardless of color.

The well-known triangle kitchen workflow pattern has a peninsula smack dab cutting the area in two. I've never seen a kitchen where you have to walk clear around a wide solid eat in area to get to the sink, the stove, the fridge or, the oven. Asinine nonsense from some (European) designer, who has no cooking or entertaining experience. From a design element, I don't care for the white tiles pooling out from around the countertops and their uneven edging near the stove (and white at the dirtiest edge? dumb), or the very thin and cheap thickness of the marble top. Cheap faucet, single sink, no sprayer. If it's not quartz, white marble is low quality and not durable. The upper shelving metal looks thin and cheap, like bad IKEA level quality. The fume head is far too high for what looks like a grill top grate, and the cooktop is too compact for 6 burners, only allowing room for 1qt pots, or small pans, not serious work.

I find the open shelving display stuff stupid and quite european, in general, utilizing your best shoulder height storage of at hand upper cabinet space to collect dust on less often used platters, vases and stupid shit. It never looks like a magazine in a family kitchen, just like a hoarders house.

There is absolutely no storage space anywhere near the dishwasher, meaning, you will hand carry every living glass or plate from the dishwasher across the room to store it. No drawer for cutlery nearby either. Anyone doing the dishes or unloading a dishwasher is in the fucking way of any action going on at the stove.

The islands do not have kickspace on the front facing edges, meaning any standing there puts your back several inches from the counter edge, to kill your back and make prep unfun or downright dangerous.

I DO NOT like that kitchen. It wouldn't need much change to be nice though.

The shelves over the bench are difficult to reach and you'd strain your back trying to get things from them, especially the high shelves, having to bend/reach over the bench to do it.
Shelves need to be over accessible space, not a bench island.

The oven and fridge on the other side of the island from the stone/sink is retarded. You want the sink accessible from the oven, because sometimes you need to put hot shit down RIGHT FUCKING NOW and the sink is usually the only safe place, that marble benchtop will crack under an oven pan but the faucet is in the way to the sink. Also that sink is tiny, imagine trying to wash a roasting pan in it.

The fridge needs to be closer to the food preparation area which is probably going to be the island opposite the sink instead of teh smaller space next to the sink. Makes it awkward to wash large amounts of vegetables and stuff and to trim meat, you need to take it from the fridge, over to the large island, trrim it there, then carry the board with blood on it over the floor to the sink.
To much potential for spills which create poor hygiene and accidents.

It's a demo kitchen, so the hood is non-functional here. But yes, you'd be right in a functional kitchen.

I can't say for sure but that might be a combination oven & plate-warmer/steriliser, I've seen a lot of those in stores in China.
