Kitchens Then And Now
ack in the old days, people used to cook their
food outside on open
fires. This group ritual as it was usually more
than one person
different constructions meant to hold the fire
and the food. Then came the
clay oven and the stove and finally leading to
the development of modern kitchens. Its meaning
has transformed so much throughout time, well
beyond just the place where the food is cooked.
Regardless if we are talking about the dreaded
slavery times when it was considered for many the
least gracious places to be, or when the idea
that it is a womans place started to shape, to
happier times where now we simply enjoy our
contemporary kitchens as places for laughs with
friends and family, or where you can unleash your
cooking potential. One thing has remained
constant here the need for more and more
innovation. Every prototype was improved,
automatized, made easier and more efficient to
use throughout time and even today, we are
longing for more and continuously looking to
challenge the status quo. One proof would be the
blooming industry of home remodeling in the
United States, estimated at the giant number of
300 billion1. The UK is also taking a seat at
that table, but with nowhere near the American
amount. The market is approximated to being worth
around 7.2bn2. This was due to the fact that
before, British people used to have a preference
for doing things themselves. So, when it came to
remodeling the kitchen they draw up sketches,
picked up brushes and hammers and started the
construction work. Luckily, thanks to millennials
who are less eager to learn such skills and would
much rather spend their time on various other
activities, the industry is expected to grow in
the next years. There are a lot of reasons why
kitchen remodeling is amongst the most popular
go-to when it comes to home improvements. Besides
it being the focal point to most human activity
in every household, kitchens are now growing to
undergo various changes, such as shifting into a
secondary eating area or having a corner
dedicated to workspace. Some of them

even merged into living and dining rooms. This
means they are moving from a simple dining and/or
cooking area to a place where entertainment
happens. Nowadays, a kitchen remodel can start at
1,500 for small ones3 and it can go up to
7,000 for larger and more sophisticated ones4.
Your bill increases substantially depending on
what you want your worktops to be made of, on
what appliances you simply cannot give up and how
you want the design to look overall. Installing
drainage or flooring can easily go over 2,500,
and if you would like to take it to the next
level and install a home automation system, you
might spend over 2,000 just on that. Usually, it
is recommended to choose quality over quantity
and practical over pretty in every decision you
are making. Source Kitchens Then And Now
