Hotpoint’s Day1 H84BE7 2XO3UK American fridge-freezer is a great all-rounder and is pretty affordable for a large American-style model. It’s A++ rated, has a refrigeration capacity of 396 litres and a freezer capacity of 162 litres. It also features an antibacterial coating, Active Oxygen technology and a noise level of just 44dB.
Hot water taps Finally, on our essential list for the modern home chef, must be the hot water tap. These are nearly always specified in a kitchen sale nowadays for the convenience they offer, as well as their ‘green’ credentials.

extremely suitable for kitchens because they are easy to clean, don’t require the use of harsh chemicals and won’t stain due to spillages”. Daval Furniture managing director Simon Bodsworth adds: “Antibacterial coatings for kitchen surfaces are really coming into their own now, bringing an important USP for designers. I
