Forget minimalist, how about a maximalist kitchen?

POSTED ON 21st July 2022

A new kitchen is exciting but can be overwhelming too. Due to the investment, and to be sustainable, you need the kitchen you choose to last a really long time so design decisions that you make now, still need to appeal in 10 years or more.
