kitschen noun [C or U]
/ˈkɪtʃ.ᵊn/
a trend for decorating kitchens in an unusual and interesting way, using bright colours and a mixture of objects of different styles
If you needed any more proof that minimalism was on the way out, look no further than the eclectic “kitschen” trend sweeping social media. But what exactly is “kitschen”, and how can you pull off this quirky, eccentric look in your own home? A mash-up of kitsch and kitchen, “kitschens” are all about embracing a quirky style and creating a unique, characterful kitchen – think vintage finds and a vibrant use of colour.

UK /ˈnɑː.niː.ə ˌpæn.tri/ US /ˈnɑːr.niː.ə ˌpæn.tri/
a small room accessed through a door in a kitchen, used to store food, appliances etc.
But the real status symbol of the invisible kitchen is the “Narnia pantry”, where “you open a cabinet door”, explains Bune Strandh, “and it leads to a hidden utility room – for storage, extra sinks, the dishwasher – where you can get rid of everything if you’re entertaining”.

invisible kitchen noun [C]
/ɪnˌvɪz.ə.bᵊl ˈkɪtʃ.ᵊn/
a style of kitchen where appliances, accessories and other objects are hidden away inside large cupboards, making the room more spacious
Invisible kitchens are a minimalist kitchen trend, whereby conventional parts of a kitchen are housed out of sight, often in full-height cabinets. These cabinets open up to reveal kitchen pantries and breakfast bars alike, maximising your kitchen storage ideas. But, when closed, you’d be none the wiser.

Great Stuff. Thank you.
The section I was expecting for a long time to exist. Thanks for it.
Love the idea .
The word Narnia is already a word. I think if more people say no it should not be added but for now lets wait and see
