NO MATTER ITS MATERIAL OR DESIGN, THE KITCHEN TABLE HAS BEEN REDISCOVERED AS THE CENTER OF BOTH ROOM AND HOME.

W

hen you hear the word “kitchen,” it is easy to imagine the basic essentials that make up a kitchen — the gentle creak of the cabinet doors, the precisely timed clicks of a stove igniting gas to fire, the cool touch of stainless steel appliances. But what about the iconic kitchen table? Today’s trendsetters may still say that kitchen islands are “in” and the standard wooden kitchen table is “out.” But as top craftsmen and professionals in the interior design industry will discuss, the concept of a kitchen table has changed and its legacy reflects more than just a place to eat one’s meals.

The kitchen itself is fondly referred to as the “heart of the home.”

Designers like Heather Hungeling of Heather Hungeling Design note that nearly all projects start with the kitchen, “whether someone is building a new 10,000-square-foot house or completing a smaller remodel.” Having worked primarily on kitchen and bath projects, Hungeling says that prioritizing a kitchen’s design is key, as finding the perfect balance of style, appliances and space can sometimes make this room a pain point on a project.

Barbara Sallick, co-founder and senior vice president of design for Waterworks, agrees, noting that its level of importance has become increasingly clear to clients. “[They are] becoming more informed about the importance of planning for a perfectly functioning kitchen, one that marries their lifestyle and design aesthetics,” says Sallick,

as her experiences working on her newly published book The Perfect Kitchen have led her to a new perspective on the process of kitchen design.

Both Hungeling and Sallick confirm that designing the layout of a kitchen is akin to mapping traf fic patterns. These patterns form around what vital pieces are taking up space and where, from the distance between the refrigerator to the pantry, the appliances, and more. A kitchen table, synonymous with gathering and family meals, should naturally have a set place within the room, raising a multitude of decisions to consider: What size would work best for the needs of this home?

Will this piece be multifunctional in terms of storage or a workstation? Does it fit the space well enough, or would an island work better?

And ultimately, how does the placement of a table affect the flow of traffic in a kitchen?

When considering recent trends in kitchen design, Sallick notes that we are currently living in the “era of the island.”

The style of a home, both internally and externally, can be a great catalyst for a kitchen and table’s design, according to Hungeling.

For example, this natural oak wood worktop complements the finish of the cabinetry.

These dynamics have become more abundantly clear since the beginning of the pandemic, as more people are taking a closer look inside their homes and the rooms they frequently use. “The kitchen has emerged as the community center of many household activities and celebrations,” Sallick states.

“We spend much more time talking about food and preparing meals, especially during our COVID-19 quarantine.” For many, the kitchen table, no matter its appearance, has been the most important part of the kitchen — the soul within the heart of a home.

Hungeling notes the benefits of a kitchen table are because of the focus on family, as it emotes a more soulful experience when everyone gets to sit down together. “We’ve been able to make these nice dinners to nurture ourselves and to make us feel better, it’s comforting,” Having crafted a variety of furniture pieces, Hays says a good table should be sturdy with a soul or history. “It should be able to take abuse and still look good, either durable enough to not show use or if it does, it takes on a patina with age.” A true

Questions like these are crucial to ask on behalf of a kitchen’s design, which is personal to every client, according to Tyler Hays, founder of BDDW, a luxury boutique brand known for heirloom-quality furniture.

“Some are more concerned with the fewest steps between things like the sink, refrigerator and stove.

The needs and use of [kitchens] vary widely,” he says, from professional chefs to those who just like to entertain.

No matter the exact specifications of where appliances or cabinets were placed, there is always a centralized hub where families and guests gather, for meals or otherwise. The physical kitchen table, therefore, has since transformed into a concept, materializing in different ways and styles.

For some, a table is a marble-topped center island with a butcher’s block, and bar stools along its edge. For others, it might be lengthy and handcrafted, with enough chairs and room to act as a dining room and office. It is the dynamics of the kitchen that help to develop its character, and further what its “table” looks like.

craftsman, Hays prefers a classic wooden table without resin or lacquers, affirming that “wood looks good and wears well on its own.” Hungeling concurs with having a table with character, as it speaks to a more authentic feel, but also to finding ways that fit the needs of a client. For example, she suggests for someone looking to get more use out of a traditional farmhouse table with beautiful patina to add a marble top, adding both beauty and a functional workspace.

Though the recent global situation has affected our lives at home, Sallick says there truly aren’t any trends, current or future, that will dictate what the perfect kitchen table looks like, or the right choice between choosing a table or an island. “In my grandmother’s kitchen, which I remember fondly, the table sat squarely in the middle of the room; it was the prep space, the community center, the dining place.

No matter how many people we were, we always gathered around the table, had great conversations and created great memories. Table or island, many cabinets or few, the kitchen is the place that brings people together.”
