SPACE-SAVING
PA E-SAVI PRODUCTS
ACE AV FOR THE KITCHEN.
It’s not surprising that UK homeowners are spending more time at home than ever – and especially this year. Even in a pre-COVID-19 world, figures suggested that the typical family hosts one dinner party a month, with half of all UK adults preferring to stay in and cook for friends than go out for dinner. Likewise, remote working has increased by almost 75 per cent in the last decade and has surely grown further in 2020.
Ye
et what might surprise you is that just 40 years ago, the average living room and kitchen were 15 per cent bigger than the spaces we occupy today. With our kitchens needing to work harder than ever before, Natalie Davenport, head of marketing at Häfele explores 6 products that will help homeowners make the most of the space available.
PIVOTING DOORS
Sliding doors are making waves in kitchen interiors at the moment due to their seamless functionality and ability to optimise storage capacity. Likewise, pocket doors are increasing in popularity as a great space saver. In fact, versus a traditional hung door, these clever systems can save an average of 1270mm of operating space per door.
Hawa Concepta combines elements of both designs with an innovative pivot sliding system that is ideal for created hidden cabinetry or storage within recessed areas. Hawa Concepta gives an extra sleek finish too as it doesn’t need a floor channel.
These innovative systems are a great way to house utility areas or even a home office that can be hidden away at the end of the working day.
MAKING MORE OF INTERNALS Internal storage is an overlooked part of the kitchen, with many homeowners not considering how they’ll use cabinetry in reality during design stage. By installing wirework and pull out or swing out shelving however, space becomes much more usable and functional.
Vauth Sagel Cornerstone Maxx is the perfect example of this. By being able to pull out the shelves, you can maximise the space in even the most awkward of corner cupboards. Additionally, the shelves extend out individually and to different points, meaning you can effortlessly access top and bottom content regardless of what you have stored and without obstruction from the adjacent cabinet. Available in three different designs to suit different tastes and styles, the Cornerstone Maxx is also power assisted for smooth movement.
