15 years of kitchen design

Whether cooking up a culinary creation or getting a glass of water, we use the kitchen every day. In fact, it's one of the most important rooms in the home. This is why kitchen renovations can be a costly undertaking, but can also give the biggest return on your investment.

When thinking about your dream kitchen, there are a myriad of elements to consider. Everything from flooring to countertops to cabinetry to appliances adds function, style and value to the room. A great kitchen design can even overcome the smallest of spaces.

So whether it's modern or traditional, grand or galley, the kitchen has come a long way. As proof, we look back at 15 years of Style at Home kitchen interiors to see how design (and style) has transformed over time.
