SPACE SAVING
‘Keep it small, keep it all’ I
ntelligent design is key to making the most of a small kitchen space. We are
finding that our customers are wanting value for money and longevity in design when investing in a new kitchen, so practicality is as important as good looks. The market is also geared-up more towards tailor-made kitchen design and space planning, where lifestyle and user convenience has become a standard criterion for the modern homeowner. When designing compact, similar tones and

textures will create the feeling of more space that can be defined by more unexpected materials like wood, copper and stone for impact and increased durability. Innovations include discreet storage solutions like multi-purpose island units with custom storage, specialist compact appliances and seating arrangements, along with pull-out pantries or integrated wine store to maximise functionality and establish zonal utility in a small kitchen. This has also led to increased demand for
slim line appliances and built-in options that can be hidden when not in use and thus, not impact on floor or wall space when working with limited space. I believe a rise in home entertaining is helping
steer end users towards more personalised kitchen spaces and inevitably, a greater demand for bespoke design. Catering to the individual, custom kitchen design will ensure you can cater to specific briefs and overcome restrictions in size and layout if furnishing a compact kitchen space. Answering the clients brief is typically one of
the biggest challenges when designing compact kitchens. For example, swing doors in a small kitchen may collide with or potentially damage appliances, as well as monopolise valuable space when in use. We recommend sliding or pocket doors as a way to increase space and user convenience, adding an average of 10 ft² of additional floor space when compared to a hinged door: which means they can work in almost any sized kitchen space.

ample dining, creativity and practicality come to the fore with custom design being utilised to create the feeling of more space and to ensure that the end-user can manoeuvre comfortably. This l-shape kitchen space features a central cook zone with off-white Carrara quartz
worktops and matching dining table, which incorporates an l-shaped banquette seat in light grey leather to maximise space. The dark oak veneer provides the perfect contrast against the mirrored rose gold splashback and twin-set ovens in Gaggenau Silver, housed by a run of tall units on the back wall and adjacent high and low cabinets and drawers for discreet, well-utilised storage.
