As a busy brand founder, actress, chef, and mom of four, Ayesha Curry's kitchen needs to fulfill many different needs. It needs to be highly functional to accommodate cooking family meals for 6, be beautiful enough to provide a gathering space, and be relaxing enough to offer a calming oasis for Ayesha to find rest. Though these demands are high, they are not uncommon; most of us would hope our kitchen fulfills all of these roles.
Luckily for you, we were able to interview Ayesha and learn the techniques she uses in her kitchen to balance effectiveness with aesthetics. They're surprisingly simple and easy to recreate in any space. 'Calm is not something I'm finding a lot of these days with four kids, but I do find the kitchen to be my happy place in the home and the place where everyone congregates (which I love),' the Sweet July founder tells Homes & Gardens. 'Through the years I have found some things that have worked for me in keeping my kitchen functional but still beautiful and relaxing.'
