Do you love the look of a minimalist kitchen but think the reality is unattainable? It's fair to say that being the heart of the home, our kitchens see a lot. As primarily functional spaces, it's easy to believe that everything stored in there is necessary but the fact is, that's probably not the case.
There are two sides to minimalism. First, there's the beautiful simplicity of a pared-back style and second, there's the philosophy that encapsulates the notion of living well with less. Of all the rooms in the home, the kitchen is the place we most often allow ourselves a free card to let stuff we don't actually need build up (we're talking pretty plates, cooking utensils, and gimmicky appliances). Once you take time to actually assess what you use regularly, however, you'll find that many of these serve very little purpose whatsoever - if any at all.
