To most people a kitchen is somewhere food is prepared, served and in a lot of cases consumed, it could be referred to as the hub of the home and no matter the price or style of the kitchen this has, and always will, remain to be its functional purpose.

This being the case why is there so much choice and style in the kitchen market? So much so it has lead to the creation of specialists in separate styles of kitchen design.

Well the same could be said of shoes or cars, they all have on main practical purpose but yet appear in so many different forms. We are just a small ripple in the kitchen pond but from following the industry from a young age and watching my dads company ride the wave of change I am going to share my view on the history of the kitchen…. Well I’m going to write for a bit about stuff, not quite an encyclopaedia of undisputed fact but a few (I think) interesting points that would help answer some of the “why do they do that like that” type of questions everyone asks (or is that just me?)
