Kitchen design should balance functionality and aesthetics. Ina Garten emphasizes using beautiful yet practical items in the kitchen without any purely decorative elements. This principle of form following function encourages displaying items based on their usefulness. Items like cutting boards, cooking spoons, canisters, and cookbooks are ideal for visible storage spaces. Additionally, aesthetics are crucial and should harmonize with the functional aspects of kitchen design, following the philosophy articulated by designer William Morris.
I love working in a kitchen with beautiful things, but I hate anything that's purely decorative.
The design principle that form follows function dictates that decor and furnishings must first be based on usefulness.
Imagine the things you often use... they're all contenders for those visible nooks, crannies, and shelves in your kitchen.
Just because something must be useful doesn't mean that aesthetics aren't highly important as well.
