How American Kitchens Have Changed Over the Years

The kitchen is the place where we prepare delicious meals to satisfy our grumbling stomachs. But did you know that the kitchen of today looks nothing like the one from 100 years ago?

Sure, its basic function remains roughly the same, but the style has taken a complete 180. Let's take a stroll down memory lane and check out how kitchen design has evolved over the past century.

1913: No Cabinets

Ahh, the family kitchen, a hub of activity and a place for good food and conversation. And the dining table has always been the centerpiece of this lively space. In this old photo from 1913, we can see two men enjoying a hearty meal around a big dining table. But you may find something different. Yes, there are no cabinets in the picture!

In the early 20th century, people used shelves for storing appliances and ingredients instead of the fancy cabinets we have today. However, one thing has remained constant over the years - family photos still adorn the walls, just like they do now.
