A change of perspective regarding open-plan kitchens was sparked, as Barbara Corcoran's solarium-style space showcased a timeless elegance that appealed.

Barbara Corcoran, a renowned U.S. businesswoman and television personality, resides in an iconic penthouse on New York City's Upper East Side. Her home boasts a stunning open-plan kitchen, located in the heart of the penthouse and overlooking the breathtaking Central Park.

The kitchen's design is a testament to the enduring appeal of open-plan kitchens, a layout that, despite debates about its future, proves to be timeless when executed with a focus on light and design. The soaring glass walls and ceilings flood the space with natural light, making it come alive with greenery and light.

The layout of Corcoran's open kitchen is one of the cleverest ways to lay out an open kitchen the author has ever seen. The continuity between cooking, eating, and entertaining feels intentional and designed for dinner parties. A long table with crisp white chairs and chandeliers is situated in the open kitchen and dining area, providing ample space for gatherings.

The space is adorned with potted plants of varying heights, creating a lush and inviting atmosphere. The use of greenery softens the glass, wood, and stone structures, making the space feel less industrial and more like an urban garden.

Decorative elements, such as a marble tray, can be added to the kitchen island or countertops, serving as a decorative element and providing a place for a candle, bud vase, or olive oil bottle. The modern design meets vintage style canister is an editor's choice for adding interest and depth to a white kitchen.

Italian luxury towels bring a hint of Southern European beauty to every kitchen, making them a practical and good-looking addition to Corcoran's kitchen. The canister, designed to blend effortlessly with a kitchen's style, can be used practically to store dried goods or styled on shelving in a kitchen.
