Le cucine in muratura sono oggi tornate di moda; dico tornate perchè, in passato le cucine avevano molti elementi in muratura, ceramica e pietra: ripiani, piani di lavoro e di stoccaggio. Naturalmente il legno era sempre presente.

Oggi i produttori di mobili e cucine hanno disegnato cucine in muratura e finta muratura (spesso è legno dipinto con finitura ad intonaco che ha la trama e l'apperenza del muro), ricoprendole con ceramiche, utilizzando legno e rivestendo gli elettrodomestici. Puoi personalizzarle e scegliere qualsiasi stile: shabby, country, mediterraneo, toscano, minimale, moderno e altro ancora!

Questa è una delle cucine del Palazzo di Enrico VIII, The Tudor Kitchens (Henry VIII’s kitchens in Hampton Court Palace, fuori Londra).

Ecco un'esempio di cucina in muratura in stile country, dove le piastrelle richiamano il cotto, il legno decapato, riporta allo stile provenzale.

Built-in kitchens have the typical kitchen components (base units, wall units, column units and appliances) that, together with ceramic modules, create true architectural structures to kitchen furnishings.

Built-in kitchens are easy to clean, they are solid and can have any design or style. If you like the country look, you can choose amongst hundreds of colours, stones, shapes.

This kitchen (Montreal) is a Modular cabinetry, with doors in solid chestnut.
The painted version features a "brushstroke" effect in olive green.
Handles in antiqued brass. Open modules, shelves and decorative elements in solid chestnut.

The Tiles: Small hand-crafted 10x10 tiles in a tufa-grey colour with insertion of decorative modules around the cooker unit and on the rear splashback. The exhaust hood interior features special modules with gem decorations.

If you like the Mediterranean look, you'll need to choose tiles that mirror the colors and the tones of the the Mediterranean Sea. Charlotte, by Aurora, is an example of Sicilian style kitchen.

The Provincial style is becoming popular in these late years. The earth tones warm up the atmosphere recalling family traditions. The kitchen below, St Remy by Aurora seems to wrap you up in a cozy blanket.

Cabinet Kitchens can be modern, minimal, ethnic... the key ingredients are the components, the tiles and the materials. This beautiful modern kitchen, design by R. Lazzeroni, is a great example (Aurora kitchen).

Shabby Chic is very appreciated by Americans and Australians. In these late years Europeans have started to fall in love with the candid and rustic tones of this style. The elegance of the old style shapes and the light of this kitchen (Cucina Art Decor, by an Italian producer) can meet any taste. The wall structure is made of several light layers where marble ore stone tyles are glued.

And how about a black kitchen? Black kitchens seems to be associated with a modern taste and if you prefer a traditional feeling you might think it's not appropriate. But put together great materials, elegant design and finishes (décapé or shabby tecniques) and you'll have superb kitchens like these.

Built-in kitchens can be in any colour and design. A careful selection of materials is important to adapt any type of wall-covering; while appropriate adhesives and methods of application are requested to ensure reliable tile fixing. Some of the materials used for tiling are: ceramic, policher, volcanic lava, honed finished stone, granite, stone glass, ardesia, cocciopesto and more.

The accuracy of these details allow to retain its characteristics through time, eliminating the possibility of damage due to water infiltrations and facilitating maintenance.
