KITCHEN RANGES & COMPONENTS
Design Independence T
he modern kitchen is all about creating a concept that is individual
in design, practical in terms of layout and technology and most of all, long-lasting. This has seen a rise in popularity for broken plan living, giving you and your customers even more design freedom and opportunity to personalise a kitchen space. For instance, a taller cabinet solution is ideal

when used in combination with slim-line worktops and a melange of different furniture heights and arrangements. Taking a modular approach to island design, varying furniture heights will provide a refreshing alternative to the traditional rectangle or peninsula unit, resulting in a multi-purpose kitchen living space that is modern and defined. It is also a great design tool for adding original elements in a more broken-plan arrangement with the option to design as a completely independent unit or affixed to adjoining worktops / base units / drawers. You can also make a
feature of hero appliances where the kitchen furniture is designed to offer atypical planning options for built-in appliances like ovens and microwaves. Room dividers are also an ideal way to define
different zones in an open-plan kitchen living space, avoiding the need for a solid wall or run of extra cabinets. Lifestyle solutions like a dividing herb garden or slatted partition are perfect concepts for broken-plan living, especially when trying to achieve a more homely aesthetic that is open and user-friendly. In fact, the Office for National Statistics predicts
that by 2020 over half the UK workforce will be working from home, which means the kitchen needs to serve multiple needs and seamlessly blend work, leisure and social time. Bearing this in mind, key elements in the ever-evolving consumer wish list for 2020 is versatile and adaptable modular furniture, especially when consumers recognise the benefits of having a less structured approach to kitchen design.
