In ancient Rome, the kitchen was known as the culina and was an important part of the Roman household. The design of the Roman kitchen was influenced by both practicality and aesthetics. It typically featured a hearth for cooking, a worktable for food preparation, and storage areas for ingredients and utensils. The coastal cottage design would incorporate elements of Roman architecture, such as mosaic floors, marble countertops, and decorative frescoes on the walls.
