Kitchen Design Without Borders
Your ultimate guide to kitchen redesign, with inspiration from Argentina, England, France, Indonesia, and Sweden
For a fresh perspective on kitchen design, we decided to go global. Around the world, the kitchens that got us most excited were those that expressed a sense of place. The standout looks included a stunning modern farmhouse in rural England, an Argentine mountain lodge with pared-down utilitarian style, and a Balinese hideaway that nods to Dutch colonial architecture.
