Lewis Hamilton is no stranger to flawless style. The F1 driver attended the 2024 Met Gala fundraising event in New York wearing an outfit inspired by the legacy of John Istumrim, one of Britain's first black gardeners. But beyond Driver's exceptional fashion sense, his modern kitchen is just as fun.
The best kitchen trends are the ones that last. One of the most successful examples in recent years is warm metals. It's hard to imagine the day when rich copper, brass, and rose gold lose their heartwarming appeal. The glossy finish is a hot topic in the kitchen. There's no denying that a striking metallic shine has the power to attract attention.
Combinations of metals such as copper and gold have proven popular in today's modern kitchens. Similarly, stainless steel options are favored for hygiene reasons and are ideal for chef's kitchens. There's no better example of how kitchen planning and interior design are intertwined than metal.
“Stainless steel is durable, low-maintenance and extremely hygienic, making it the ideal material for modern times,” says Tom Edmonds, design director at Lewis Alderson. “We can create large complex parts with welded sinks and drains, virtually eliminating joints where bacteria and dirt can accumulate.”
Stainless steel is often associated with modern kitchens, but it also works surprisingly well with traditional cabinetry. “In a classic kitchen, stainless steel gives it a modern edge, and over time it develops small swirl marks that settle into a beautiful mellow patina with little effort,” adds Tom.
A favorite among chefs and avid cooks, Hamilton's kitchen is fully equipped for your culinary adventures. “When choosing kitchen countertops, avoid materials that scratch or stain easily,” says Roundhouse, which has created home kitchens for several chefs including Yotam Ottolenghi and Peter Gordon. said Alison Lynch, senior design consultant at the company. “We recommend synthetic composite stones such as quartz or sintered stone, or stainless steel surfaces that are industrial style and very hygienic and easy to use. They eliminate the stress of stains and can be used directly to place hot pots.”
David Beckham is another celebrity who wholeheartedly embraces the industrial aesthetic and practicality of a professional chef's kitchen. The Chef's Kitchen is the ultimate luxury for budding culinary enthusiasts. Technological advances in kitchen design have made it easier than ever to create the professional or gourmet kitchen at home that was once reserved for high-end restaurants. If in doubt, start with steel.
