Your awesome cooking skills deserve an awesome kitchen; and whether you admit it or not, you would die to have your kitchen look like the back of a fancy restaurant.
If you are considering of giving your kitchen a facelift, below are some design details to steal from commercial kitchens according to Apartment Therapy:
Stainless steel everything
Yes, you can. Don't stop with the fridge and the stove when it comes to stainless steel. It is a tough and chic material that will definitely give that vibe of a commercial kitchen right at your very own. Go for the big guns like an entire kitchen island made of slim steel or give it a try on your backsplash and countertop.
Bar-style seating
What's your favorite spot in a restaurant? If it happens to be the bar, then why not come up with one in your kitchen? Not only is it an interesting feature to your commercial kitchen inspired space, it will also serve the same benefits such as being able to conveniently pull up a stool and socialize within the entire space.
Open shelving
Unless you're the type to keep things messy and concealed in a cabinet, open shelving is an awesome commercial kitchen design detail that makes meal prep easier with everything within easy reach. It also makes the space look airy and open more like how it is in a commercial chef's haven.
Glass-front refrigerators
Nothing to remind you of a commercial kitchen than a glass-front fridge that allows you to see everything in it. But if you don't want to fully commit to a see-through model, you can have a smaller one for the Coronas and Heinekens to put under the counter.
Mise en place storage
You don't really need to line up your bottles of spices in full view just like every other kitchen. But you can apply the same principle with a drop-in counter; a one-stop storage system that keeps your commonly used kitchen utensils and seasonings organized and easily accessible.
