A "Well" Designed Kitchen
Designing the Ideal Kitchen for Health and Harmony
When designing a home with the goal of improving our health and well-being, every space plays a crucial role. But one room stands out as the heart of the home…the kitchen. It’s not only a place for providing physical nourishment but we also gather here for connection, rejuvenation and experimentation. As we continue to strive toward healthier homes and the connection between our environment and our health grows, the concept of a well-designed kitchen stands out as a starting point from which to revitalize our families physical and emotional well-being.
A well designed kitchen goes beyond simple functionality; it embodies principles of joy, harmony, sustainability, and mindfulness. From layout and materials to lighting and organization, every element is intentionally curated to promote health and vitality.
You have got to read this one! Tori covers everything. 😊 Materials, lighting, ventilation, layout, organization, and the social nature of kitchens.

"If you want to enjoy life, then making your kitchen as sociable as possible - if you get your kitchen right - if becomes a space where you feel like you want to invite people around and have long evenings where it's not just, "cook dinner, eat it, watch television." They wouldn't dream of doing that in the Mediterranean because they're too busy having fun dancing on the tables. We want to experience that and try and bring some of that into our kitchen design."
Paul O'Leary And Helen Parker, DeVOL Kitchens

Kitchens in 2024
Whether you’re working with a small kitchen or are lucky to have a larger space than most, the kitchen is the heart of the home and should be treated as such. In my mind it’s the first room to invest in, which is the common theme among kitchen trends this year.
I’ve said before that trends in the interior design industry are more of an evolution rather than a revolution, and the kitchen is no exception. Every season since the beginning of the pandemic, I’ve seen more of a push towards personality, accessibility, and customization.
And as a long time member and leader in the National Kitchen & Bath Association, Julie knows kitchens!

Final Thoughts
Baking bread = nurturing energy: and why we all knead more of it
In feng shui, cooking, baking, and nurturing others with food is connected to the earth element. Very simply, the five elements are the basic elements of life: fire, earth, metal, water, and wood. In the ancient practice of Feng Shui, these elements are more than actual flames, or dirt, or pieces of wood; it is about the qualities of the elements. You can think of the elements as universal energetic essences, each with their own flavor of energy (qi).
The earth element is stable, supportive, nurturing, and grounding. Think about the earth below your feet: it’s always there to support you. The earth element is also connected to nourishment and how we take care of ourselves. So you can see how making dough and baking is a great way to bring more earth energy into your life and home.
