The kitchen is the heart of the home: a place dedicated to conviviality and sharing, which deserves a well-organised, safe and welcoming environment. Choosing the right kitchen is without doubt the most delicate moment when planning a home. Not only because of the multitude of models, but also because of the extensive range of materials and accessories.
The kitchen should not only be beautiful but, above all it should be suited to everyone’s needs. Made-to-measure solutions are possible thanks to fitted kitchens with components sliding into place like a glove. Columns, containers, cupboards, tops and islands grant the possibility of creating creative and versatile solutions.
The latest generation kitchens respond to the needs of modern society blending tradition with new materials and finishings and the dream kitchen easily becomes reality. The kitchen, with the multitude of aesthetic and functional choices available, gives everyone the chance expressing their own personality (for more information ? http://bit.ly/2Fo89Mh).
The first step when choosing a kitchen is to understand which style goes best with your home: classic, modern, minimal or coloured. Then, starting with the space available, it can be placed: in line, in an “L” or “U” shape; with a peninsula or an island.
After having chosen which type, the next step is the choice of components. There is also a vast range of ovens, sinks, internal equipment and cookers. For instance the sink can be single or double, built-in or placed directly on the work top. The cooker can be electricity or gas, built-in or placed on top of the work top, with three, four or five rings.

When planning a kitchen the choice of material plays an important role. This choice is very important not only from an aesthetic point of view as it distinguishes the space, but also from an economical and practical one. It is necessary to bear in mind three main components: the internal structure, covering and work top.
The internal structure is usually in wood which can be solid, honeycomb core, veneered or chipboard. The difference between these materials is the quality and price. This material is not visible as it is covered by the external finishing.
With covering we mean the material used to cover the doors and sides of the kitchen. These can be in:

The work top is the most used part of the kitchen and therefore is more subject to wear and tear. The top is available in many different materials that, combined with other finishings, guarantees a final result of great visual impact. The different materials have in common the facility of cleaning and resistance, features that determine the quality and duration of a good kitchen.
The work top can be in:

Arrital, Cesar, Arclinea and Poliform are just some of the Italian brands that have transformed kitchen planning into a true and proper art. These firms offer maximum compositional flexibility to define spaces according to one’s own taste and need. Technical innovations, excellent quality material and thoroughly studied details offer a kitchen experience without comparison. Not only sinks and cookers, these kitchens can be planned with state-of-the-art containment systems and equipped walls.
Phoenix is one of the cult kitchens presented by Poliform in 2014. Its essential design and stylistic shape made it famous right from the word go. The Phoenix kitchen was born to offer a sensory experience to everyday life: in fact the combination of materials makes it not only beautiful but also pleasant to the touch. The compositional solutions that Poliform offers are easily adaptable for both large open space and smaller environments. The absence of handles highlights the contemporary and minimalist style of this kitchen even more (for more information ? http://bit.ly/2IgwaT4 ).

Ak is a range of kitchens for contemporary style lovers by Arrital. Among these, the one that stands out for its aesthetic and flexible composition is surely the Ak_04 kitchen. This kitchen is dominated by steel, hygienic and resistant material that further enhances its decisive shape. In fact the doors have an extruded aluminium frame, light with a reduced thickness, onto which different finishings can be applied such as glass, stone or wood. Apart from a series of modular units, Ak_04 can also be customised thanks to a wide range of accessories such as snack tables, islands, peninsulas, containers and bookcases (for more information? http://bit.ly/2DdjpFq).
The kitchen is synonymous of sharing and conviviality, functionality and resistance are not the only important aspects but it must also give us a feeling of well-being at home. Most importantly the materials, accessories and style must reflect our personality, offering an environment which perfectly suits our taste.
