5 Kitchens We Want To Cook Our Thanksgiving Dinner In
Beautiful appliances, tons of counter space, and even an extra oven—these kitchens are dreamy!
When you're cooking up a holiday feast, there are a few things we can all agree on that makes the process a bit easier, like a well-planned kitchen.
Here are five jaw-dropping designs we wish we could cook in for Thanksgiving.
Endless Island Space

“The kitchen was designed to accommodate multiple cooks and pizza-making parties, so it needed a large worktop,” says designer Sheree Stuart. The extra-long island is command central and features ample storage along the back for pizza tools and cutting boards—there’s even a second dishwasher. The island stools are store-bought but look bespoke among the walnut cabinetry. “We didn’t want anything too precious, and these were a great price. And they swivel!” says Sheree. The pizza oven is clad in the same sturdy porcelain as the countertops for a seamless effect.
Modern Elegance

Designer Alyssa Papa maximized the kitchen’s small footprint with a butler’s pantry and loads of storage in the island drawers. “I also didn’t put the sink facing the window – a design rule to follow. It allows for better flow because the walkway isn’t interrupted when loading the dishwasher. This layout also highlights the symmetry of the French doors, a detail that’s important to me.” Panelling conceals appliances so the space feels like an elegant extension of the adjacent living room. The mix of grey marble and warm browns furthers the effect.
A Century-Old Stunner

The main cottage’s kitchen features new shiplap walls and the original ceiling punctuated by new wood beams. Designer Madison Krofchick replaced a bank of windows with sliding doors to open up the space and reinforce the indoors-out connection. When planning the custom kitchen, she wanted the range hood to stand out. “I opted for a wood finish,” she says. “It ties in well with the beams and creates a strong focal point.” Little winks of pretty, like the pendant lights and a waterfall-edge island, are in step with the new-life reboot.
Traditional English Style

Designer Kate Stuart of TOM Interior Design Studio redesign for the house saw the kitchen opened up to the dining and family rooms. “So we needed the kitchen to be able to ‘hang out with’ the dining room,” Kate explains. “And one homeowner wanted a big working island where he could be cooking,” she adds. The cabinets’ moody green colour anchors the space. Its expanse is broken up by warm unlacquered brass hardware, Caesarstone counters, and crisp subway tile in the window nook. Low-key, clean-lined elements like the pulls, pendants, counters and tile also push the look in a contemporary direction, making it fresher and more youthful.
Coastal romance

California cool was his clients’ desired vibe, says designer Josh Greenbaum. Natural materials like white oak cabinetry and stone were to star. Matte finishes would give a handcrafted look, and limewash paint would be used for an artisanal touch to the range hood and the walls above the shelf. Sharp edges were to be avoided in high-traffic areas, as the owners have young children.
