IS THE KITCHEN THE NEW LIVING ROOM? • Plenty of living happens in the kitchen. It’s a creative comfort zone for the culinarily inclined, the hub of daily activity for many families, and often the most crowded room at a party. So why shouldn’t the design reflect that? We looked back at some of our favorite kitchens featured in Elle Decor, from chef Daniel Humm’s to designer Joy Moyler’s, to share what elevates these spaces beyond elegant function and material beauty into inviting destinations. “Where is the kitchen?” Humm asked. “It’s there, but I don’t want it to be all you see.” Instead, this kitchen—and the rest that follow—make us want to look twice and stay a while.
