Four Kitchen Looks With Smeg Linear Collection.

#HTE

I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’ve really grown up in the last 12 months. (But Dana, you have a husband, a child and a business – surely you grew up a little while ago?) Well, this is true, but I usually feel like a complete fraud most of the time. Until I decided to take a real interest in cooking and nutrition about 12 months ago, I never really felt all that grown-up. Now, instead of browsing Net-a-Porter for a sick pair of shoes, I’d much rather consider my weekly organic market fresh-food shop, and our family’s weekly menu. See – I’m totally grown up (slash boring), but I love it. I only wish our place had a good oven (our old-school gas number is so crap it turns out in the middle of baking, is unable to retain any heat, so cooking with it is hard work and frustrating to say the least. Plus it’s really ugly. Grrrr!)

Equally, when I design clients’ homes, and specifically their kitchens, I previously never stopped to consider how much I would actually love owning that same appliance I’m specking for the project. As I said, things have changed, and now I’m dreaming of an appliance schedule over my wish-list on The Outnet.

When we started working with Smeg earlier this year, I was itching to showcase the versatility of the Linear Collection. As with all Smeg ovens, Linear Collection features Thermoseal technology – a combination of innovations for a perfectly controlled cooking environment and consistently better results, every time. (Oh lordy, imagine how amazing my usually-sad quinoa muffins would be with one of these babies!).

Alas, technical spec aside (after-all, cutting edge performance and technology is almost a given in most premium products these days), today I wanted to focus on Smeg Liner Collection’s delicious contemporary aesthetic – think clean, minimal lines and super-reflective glass. I was instantly struck with how adaptable this Collection really was, and how it could slot into almost any kitchen. With this in mind, I have curated looks around four different kitchen styles – i.e. Moody, Artisan, Colourful and Minimal. Interestingly, these looks also align with current Kitchen design trends, as surveyed by previously published Yellowtrace content.

Each one of the four looks links back to various kitchens we’ve featured, with an occasional product, art feature and some fun food styling to keep things engaging and not-too-serious. My hope for this post is to provide you with a fantastic resource next time you’re designing a kitchen – something you can keep coming back to time and time again. And do check out Smeg’s entire Collection of Linear ovens while you’re at it. You won’t be disappointed.
