Small European kitchens offer lessons in using limited space
Modernizing a kitchen in an old building often calls for bold moves. Check out the wooden ceiling beam hovering above the sleek white cabinet as if it was leftover from a gentler age in this European kitchen. Likely it is. Meanwhile, here is a thoroughly modern IKEA kitchen that mixes ‘80s revival white melamine with glass-panel upper cabinet doors, Euro pulls and granite. Large subway tiles are installed as trendy verticals in the back splash. Note the 24-inch refrigerator often used in tight layouts. As a space saver, the electric cook top also sits above the oven.xxx
