It depends on what you're referring to. Curves are sexy, feminine, warm/soft. Lines are tailored, masculine, cold/hard. I think both need to be considered and incorporated into design, therefore, I do not have a preference.

Thank you again Daisy England for your feedback.....am I correct in saying that apart from the door the cabinet carcasses look the same for both Soho as well as Holborn.

I think very modern kitchens sit equally well in modern and period homes. I also think that very modern kitchens suit small and voluminous spaces. The only think I would say is that if you want to appreciate long horizontal lines you need to be able to see them which is easier in a larger space. As far as today’s trends being dated tomorrow this also doesn’t hold as there are some beautifully designed kitchens that look just as good a decade later. As far as rejecting lots of cabinets I noticed that Emily’s 2.4m square pantry represents 7% of the total space in an average Uk home. Given the average price of a semi is reportedly £222k this means her pantry likely represents £16,000 of value which obviously could have been spent on lots of cabinets but we all find money for the things that are important to us.
