# Aquarium Kitchens Darren Morgan Designs Aquatic Cooking Spaces By Kitchen Mogul | Published 2010-10-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-design References: [kitchendesigntank.blogspot](http://kitchendesigntank.blogspot.com) & [glenvalegroup](http://www.glenvalegroup.com) This kitchen by Irish designer Darren Morgan offers the kind of visual impact required to impress any guest! Featuring a three metre long aquarium and custom made island this kitchen is fully automated and offers the user interactive mood lighting and various positions of use. The inclusion of a living splash-back has a dual purpose, offering a stunning visual backdrop to any social occasion and also promoting calm. In today’s fast lane society, simply interacting with the kitchen/aquarium at the end of every day can promote a sense of calm and well being! It provides a little bit of kitchen therapy! When you combine the kitchen automation along with the living ecosystem it can appear that the kitchen has a life of its own. Kitchen design is evolving, becoming an artistic appreciation of function and human nature. This design by Darren Morgan pushes the boundaries of expectation and delivers a multi layered experience for the user. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Aquarium Kitchens:** The trend of incorporating aquariums into kitchen designs is an opportunity for designers to create visually stunning and interactive cooking spaces. - **Kitchen Automation:** The trend of automating kitchen functions provides opportunities for developing innovative and user-friendly kitchen appliances and systems. - **Living Splash-backs:** The trend of using living splash-backs in kitchens not only adds a visually appealing element but also promotes a calming and therapeutic environment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** The aquarium kitchen trend presents opportunities for interior designers to create unique and immersive kitchen spaces. - **Home Automation:** The kitchen automation trend opens up opportunities for companies in the home automation industry to develop innovative kitchen appliances and systems. - **Aquarium Supplies:** The trend of incorporating aquariums into kitchens creates a demand for specialized aquarium supplies and services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Freestanding Experimental Kitchens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-kitchens.md) - [Fish Tank-Inspired Japanese Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nao-iwanari.md) - [Outdoor Carbon-Free Cooking Kitchens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transspecies-kitchen.md) - [Ultra-Modern Exterior Kitchen Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atria-outdoor-kitchen-system.md) - [Ai-Powered Recipe-Generating Appliance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kitchen-cosmo.md) - [Custom Outdoor Kitchen Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tria.md) - [Avant-Garde Water Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasium.md) - [Space-Conscious Kitchen Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-kitchen-design.md) - [Elegant Kitchen Sink Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-sink-system.md)
