Arts & Crafts kitchens rely on
a natural bespoke look with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship. The Arts and
Crafts movement began at the beginning of the 20th century as a countermovement
to mass production, which had become the model means of production across
various industries. The focus
throughout the kitchen is on clean, strong lines with neutral colors found in
nature. Cabinets featuring recessed
panel doors with thick frames are predominant. Hand-carved corbels and wood brackets are true essentials for
Arts-and-Crafts kitchen. Rich
stained wood finishes are most always used in this style kitchen. Hardware accents in earthly metals such
as copper, brass, or pewter compliment this style kitchen beautifully.
