The pandemic has probably kept your family and friends apart– but now that the world is opening up again, it’s time to open up your kitchen. And every home chef and entertainer knows that a high-functioning kitchen depends on excellent storage and clean counters. In other words, your cabinet selection sets the tone for the entire flow of your kitchen.

And what better way to host the gatherings of your dreams than in a Modern Italian kitchen? Italian kitchen designs are sweeping magazines, influencers, and interior design trends because of their excellent storage capacity, beautiful designs, and sleek minimalism.

Ready for your Italian kitchen makeover? We’ll cover what goes into an authentic Italian design. Then we’ll cover three top considerations for shopping for the best kitchen cabinets for your design. Let’s get started!

Before we get into the specifics of an Italian kitchen, let’s review a few essentials of Italian culture that heavily influence the design. First, Italians are known for their love of:

● Family and friends – no one is a stranger.
● Great food – the more, the better.
● Beautiful architecture and comfort – if it’s not beautiful, it’s not Italian.

So you’ll see these loves highlighted throughout all Italian designs:

● Entertaining family and friends require a lot of seating and comfort.
● Making great food requires a lot of storage and space to prep delicious, memorable meals.
● And, of course, all this functionality cannot sacrifice the aesthetic of a beautiful design with high-quality materials.

What’s an Italian kitchen without lots of room for friends and family to gather and eat? An Italian kitchen remodel will likely focus on a large island (maybe even two islands) for plenty of counter space to prep food and keep guests close to the heart of the home.

Your cabinetry needs to account for maximizing seating and storage. A great design will keep cupboards minimally invasive to walkways and use creative methods to use minimally invasive storage.

The top priority of any family kitchen is having plenty of storage, custom when possible. A fully-functional kitchen offers plenty of space for food, cooking utensils and dishes, and all those bulky cooking tools like pressure cookers, crock pots, and blenders.

So what goes into quality Italian hidden storage? A few signature features include:

● Smooth, modular-style cupboards that fill the available space.
● No handles or hardware, keeping a minimalist flow.
● High-quality wood and design to create a powerful but simple aesthetic.

Modern Italian design touches rustic Mediterranean living by incorporating natural elements in a new way. Italian cabinetry leans heavily on high-quality wooden fronts with professional craftsmanship in the joints and arrangement.

Cabinets like this will perfectly match other classic Italian textures like marble, tile, and rough stone. So you’ll have endless options for backsplashes, countertops, and flooring to create a perfect balance of beautiful Italian materials.
