from colour to connectivity:
kitchen features that set properties apart Michael Marriott, CEO at Waterline Distribution discusses the rise of kitchen trends such as walk in pantries, connected appliances, vented hobs and colour combinations...
In a competitive housing market, developers are under constant pressure to deliver homes that stand out and captivate buyers from the moment they walk through the door. The kitchen, still the heart of the modern home, plays a pivotal role in that decision- making process. It is no longer enough for a kitchen to be merely functional; today’s buyers expect spaces that fuse style, smart design, and technology. To achieve this, savvy developers are turning to expert suppliers who understand both current trends and the practical demands of multi-unit projects. Partnering for success Partnering with specialist designers and experienced sales managers helps developers create kitchens that not only meet specification and budget requirements but also exceed buyer expectations. Their experience in working across diverse developments means they can offer guidance on finishes, layouts, and appliance packages that will differentiate a property and drive sales.
Storage solutions that buyers love Buyers are increasingly seeking kitchens that feel organised and clutter-free. Walk-in pantries and breakfast cupboards deliver exactly that, offering hidden yet highly functional storage. These tailored spaces can house everything from dry goods to compact appliances like coffee machines, enhancing day-to-day living while maintaining sleek work surfaces. They’re proving just as popular in modern apartments as they are in larger family homes. Using vertical space Maximising ceiling height is another trend reshaping kitchen design. Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and carefully positioned wall units allow for more usable storage without increasing the kitchen footprint. For developers, this means adding perceived value by offering homeowners a kitchen that feels thoughtfully designed and fully optimised for their needs.
