Furniture
Furniture is what vividly indicates that the kitchen belongs to the Baroque style. The cabinets look like sideboards with glass doors. Expensive fine china dishes are on display.
The furniture is made from precious woods: cherry, alder, ash, oak, chestnut, elm, acacia. Varnishing, inlay, mother-of-pearl, veneer, carved decorative elements are used. The most common motives are garlands, flowers, branches.
The curved legs of the kitchen, chairs and tables add exclusivity to the furniture. The table top is often massive with carved edges, decorated with gilding. The backs and seats are predominantly oval or round in shape with fabric upholstery.
Decor elements
Rich decor is a must-have baroque attribute.
Such an interior should have a massive crystal chandelier. When decorating windows, give preference to flowing fabrics with embroidery or ornaments.
Ideally, if they will be made of the same fabric as the upholstery of the furniture, or at least have something in common with the pattern.
A well-chosen combination of colors and an optimal arrangement of accents will make it easy to create a luxurious kitchen.
You must understand that such a design will require not only a professional approach and detailed thoughtfulness, but also large material investments.
