In ancient Egypt, kitchens were an integral part of the household. While glass-front cabinets with beadboard paneling were not present during that time, kitchens were designed with functionality and efficiency in mind. The Egyptians used clay ovens for baking bread and cooking, and they had storage areas for food and utensils. The kitchen was often located near the courtyard to allow for easy access to fresh ingredients. The walls were adorned with colorful murals depicting scenes of food preparation and cooking. Ancient Egyptian kitchens were a hub of activity, where meals were prepared for the family and offerings were made to the gods.
