A kitchen is a room or part of a room used for cooking and food preparation.

In the West, a modern kitchen is typically equipped with a stove, a sink with hot and cold running water, a refrigerator and kitchen cabinets. Many households have a microwave oven, a dishwasher and other electric appliances. The main function of a kitchen is cooking or preparing food but it may also be used for dining and entertaining.

History

The evolution of the kitchen is linked to the invention of the cooking range or stove and the development of water infrastructure capable of supplying water to private homes. Until the 18th century, food was cooked over an open fire. Technical advances in heating food in the 18th and 19th centuries, changed the architecture of the kitchen. Before the advent of modern pipes, water was brought from an outdoor source such as wells, pumps or springs.

What color should I paint the trim in my kitchen, black maybe?
Q. This is for the kitchen...We are going to paint the walls a rich tan called "cashmere". The cabinets are being stained a deep red cherry color and the floors are bamboo that have the same color as the cabinets as well as dark striations in it. We are looking at doing a corian counter top with a beige theme. All the appliances are black. The kitchen is large and open and the flooring is going into the adjacent room that will be painted a chocolate color, this is a game room/family room and it is also very large. So the question is, what do you think about painting the trim in the kitchen BLACK? we really want some input on this. the rest of the house has cashmere paint and WHITE trim. The family room will be chocolate with white… [cont.]

A. That sounds awesome! Black is an excellent accent color with both tan and cherry red. With all the other natural surfaces, a black granite counter top would be consistent with your design scheme. I'm not familiar with corian, but if it is available in black or black with tan flecks in a glossy finish to resemble granite, that would tie all the elements of the room together very nicely. I know you're probably thinking...a black counter top? Gasp! But take a look at some of the pictures before you reject the idea. It looks rich and has an exciting appeal.

What is the best way to organize a kitchen?
Q. I have a small kitchen and it seems like all my little kitchen gadgets (measuring cups,cookie cutters etc.) are everywhere. The drawers won't close or they won't open. Any suggestions about organizing my kitchen are welcome.

Will my property value be negatively affected if I move the kitchen to a smaller room?
Q. I have an idea for remodeling parts of my home. I want to move t he kitchen to a room adjacent to the livingroom and the dinning room, then open to two rooms to the kitchen. Where the kitchen is now will become a master suite I think. But the kitchen will become much smaller. How do you think this would affect my property value?

A. Kitchens and Bathrooms sell a house, so It may not the best move. I know I wouldn't buy a home with a small kitchen just because the master suite is large. If you want to invest, invest in your kitchen and bathroom! Good Luck Ellie
