Whether you add an extra dresser or go with a completely uninstalled design, a freestanding kitchen allows you to create a custom space that can be expanded and modified as needed.interior designer and star HGTV's Magnolia Table, Joanna Gaines is a proponent of this relaxed, lived-in style. Her home in Waco, Texas, is a perfect example of how to achieve a mix-and-match approach with freestanding furniture. This kitchen beautifully combines contemporary details with a classic design sensibility.
The idea of freestanding kitchens is increasingly being incorporated into modern kitchen designs. While fully equipped kitchens are unlikely to ever go out of fashion, there is a gradual shift towards more relaxed looking kitchens.
Freestanding kitchen units, as the name suggests, are not fixed to a wall, but instead stand on their own and can be reconfigured as needed. As a result, this kitchen style has a more relaxed aesthetic that honors historic design and works seamlessly into period or rustic homes.
“Freestanding kitchens don't require a large investment in a ready-to-install design. Instead, you can choose the items you need right away and add more as your family grows.” explains Al Bruce, founder of Olive & Barr.
If you're having trouble deciding between freestanding and fixed furniture, consider the benefits of both.
Freestanding pieces can be moved and rearranged to suit your needs and add to the homely feel, but they may not offer much storage capacity. Charlie Smallbone, founder of Ledbury Studio, recommends combining mounted and freestanding options if you're looking for visual interest and versatility. “Built-in furniture is best used around work areas in the kitchen. For example, to ensure the oven is at the correct height or to provide easy-access storage for oven trays and dishes. ” he says. “The rest of the room can be filled with freestanding furniture, adding flexibility and character.”
Even if you don't have plans or don't want to spend money on renovating your entire kitchen, there are still ways to achieve the independent look. A simple kitchen dresser similar to the one in Joanna Gaines' kitchen is a great blend of function and focal point.
“There's something about a dresser that inspires emotional associations. It's the complete opposite of modern kitchens, which are high-tech and hide everything, yet continue to provide a sense of comfort,” says Plain English's Design Director. , Merlin Wright guesses.
The appeal of the dresser has lasted for centuries, and its popularity shows no signs of slowing down.
