nowadays, I think it is wise to consider the latest wall storage options which can help the chef by keeping kitchen towels and tablets in safe but accessible places. This degree of design flexibility is giving the homeowner scope to have dedicated storage walls, canopy-style storage for herbs and cookware, along with well-considered waste stations, which can be helpful if there are pets or small children in the household. The move towards open-plan and broken-plan spaces has only increased the need for adaptable
oday’s premium modular furniture is ideal for a fluid cooking and
storage, which is at home in the living areas as well as the work zone, so consumers have plenty of options in place of the traditional walk-in larder. We are finding that extra-tall units are proving a popular way of optimising floor-to-ceiling storage, alongside the use of glass-fronted vitrines which offer an element of display storage while keeping crockery and glassware close to hand. Special treatments and new high-pressured
laminate finishes are also offering huge advantages in the kitchen, ensuring a strong resistance against scratches and chemicals with anti-fingerprint properties: a favourable option in a hardworking kitchen prone to high levels of food prep. Choosing ergonomic handleless furniture at a
comfortable working height will also make storage work harder for your customers – and space planning far easier! Take the time to find out how they like to cook and how much room is required, so you know exactly where to position the wet area and appliances to suit their individual cooking style.
