"Camouflaged" kitchens: the goal is to hide everything, even the sink
Entering a kitchen and almost not realizing that it is one: this seems to be the ultimate goal to which current furnishing trend aspire to, the so-called "camouflaged kitchens". It's not about minimalism, or rather, not just minimalism. Let's try to explain.
The idea is to hide everything away, so that the surfaces remain free: this means no accessories and appliances on the shelves, but stored away in drawers. In short, all you can only see are the shapes of the furnishings in the materials chosen. It's all about design!

In essence, this style is minimalist: simple shapes, geometrically clean lines, cleared surfaces - basic designs and high quality materials.
Also included in this concept are "hidable" kitchens: a kitchen or a kitchenettes, with the sink and all the furniture which can be hidden from view by sliding panels or doors. Basically, the whole working areas of the kitchen remains hidden behind a divider of some kind!
Camouflage solutions for modern kitchens
Camouflaging solutions for kitchens involve integrating appliances into cabinetry, employing matching paneling, and utilizing concealed storage options like pull-out shelves. A cohesive color scheme and textured finishes help create a seamless, stylish look while maintaining functionality and organization.
In this way, a space is created which is protected from everyday dirt and in which everything can be stored - even dishes - which will be ready to use directly from the drawers.
Versatile solutions for every type of kitchen
By striking a compromise, it is possible to make every kitchen more "muted", even those furnished in a classic or modern style.
Panels: you decide what and when to show off parts of the kitchen
When working over the stove, we may choose to have full access to every space in the kitchen. But if we go away on holiday, we can close everything up (by closing the panels).
There are some design studios which provide panelling systems that are very easy to use: all these panels are activated electronically with just the touch of a button!
Hide the sink
One of the most extreme expressions of this style is to even hide away the sink from view! This is done by using special "lids" that can be lowered over the top of the sink, creating a flush surface.
What would you think of a kitchen like this?
