Colonial Style Kitchen

Starting with the basics, colonial kitchen pictures feature elements of historic Early American kitchens such as this one. In true colonial style, the hearth is the focal point of this functional kitchen where nearly all cooking occurred at the fireside. Wooden furniture is central to the comfortable, homey atmosphere. Items used everyday are kept within arms reach and double as decorative accessories. Making use of vertical space is another prominent ingredient in colonial kitchens – suspending pots, utensils, and herbs from walls or ceilings.
