Rounded corners, flowing shapes and a harmonious sense of space: Round kitchens create a homely atmosphere and look natural and cosy. They are also a functional highlight, combining practical storage space with visual elegance. Do you want gentle curves instead of sharp edges? We show you how round kitchens can transform your cooking area into a feel-good place and how organic designs can become an eye-catcher.

Most of the rooms have classic square floor plans. Whether you have a traditional, tubular kitchen or a combined kitchen and living area - a round kitchen blends harmoniously into practically any room concept and gives it a friendly atmosphere. The choice is yours:

 

  • Depending on the look, a kitchen with round corners radiates futuristic chic, light elegance or Scandinavian freshness and gives the room an inviting atmosphere. Kitchen islands or counters can also be staged as stylish eye-catchers. 

 

  • Arrange rounded kitchen units in a circle in the room and benefit from short distances and a unique look. Gently curved cabinets and a round kitchen worktop perfect the arrangement. 

Advantages of round kitchens

Goodbye sharp corners, welcome flowing shapes: Round kitchens are not just a visual highlight. They also offer functional advantages:

  • Edgeless designs reduce the risk of injury in the kitchen, and not just for children. 

 

  • A well-rounded kitchen arrangement shortens the journey to work

 

  • Kitchens with round corners are easy to clean: Dust and dirt adhere less to rounded shapes than to sharp corners. 

 

  • A round kitchen brings warmth and elegance to any room. It breaks away from the angular, straightforward shapes of traditional cookery kitchens and creates an exciting contrast

 

After all, round kitchens are timelessly beautiful: Flowing, organic designs delight the eye beyond trends. Minimalist, handleless versions radiate calm, wooden furniture creates a natural, cosy flair. 

    Planning tips for your round kitchen

    Whether in an open-plan, bay window or classic rectangular room - round kitchens can be integrated in a variety of ways. We present examples of aflowing, organic design for your kitchen.

     

    • As an eye-catcher, a centrally positioned round counter in the kitchen makes a big impression - perfect for large eat-in kitchens. Cabinets with rounded edges and curved corners complete the organic, natural impression. Important: When arranging the cupboards, bear in mind the magical kitchen triangle

     

    • A kitchen with a round, flowing worktop meanders stylishly around your movement zone and is particularly effective in an open-plan kitchen. You benefit from short distances and an exceptional look. You emphasise this by dispensing with wall units and a classic extractor fan. The cooktop extractor systems from BORA integrated inconspicuously into the worktop provide fresh air. 

     

    • Add excitement to the ensemble with a contrasting combination of corners and curves - for example, with a kitchen that combines a round worktop and counter with classic angular tall and base units. 

     

    • A room with a bay window is virtually predestined for round kitchens. For example, arrange organically shaped base units in the semi-circular area or plan a seating area with an oval table and rounded cantilever chairs. 

    Round thing: How to integrate appliances and worktops into curved kitchens

    Whether hob, fridge or dishwasher: Kitchen appliances, like worktops, are usually rectangular - at least in the standard versions.

    Special rules apply in a round kitchen: 

     

    • Worktops can be cut rounded, milled or thermoformed. 

     

    • Base and wall units are also available with curved fronts and fit seamlessly into the round kitchen design. As a rule, they are combined with straight elements. 

     

    • A round or oval sink emphasises the organic design. 

     

    • Oven, dishwasher and refrigerators can be integrated into the straight cabinets. Rounded edges harmonise the overall look.

      Designing round kitchens - inspiration for your dream home

      Curved lines and sweeping shapes run through the history of interior design: Sometimes they appeared in lush baroque curves, sometimes in futuristic clarity or paired with angular lines. In addition, flowing, organic accessories and accents emphasise round kitchen designs. Bring sensuality and harmony into your home with curvy shapes:

       

      • In open-plan living and cooking areas, emphasise the flowing sense of space with natural-coloured armchairs with round seats and sofas with rounded backrests. 

       

      • Kidney-shaped dining and side tables complement your kitchen in a round shape and create a soft contrast to angular elements such as electrical appliances or classic tall units. 

       

      • Go for harmonious accessories such as vases in organic shapes, round bowls and plates, spherical lights and round kitchen rugs.
