Storing up future success A
global pandemic is an unlikely kick- start for an interior revamp, but

after months indoors and no expensive holiday on the horizon, many consumers are looking to renovate their homes. Research from The Renovation Nation Report showed that lockdown inspired 65% of homeowners to invest in renovations to their properties. From kitchens, to bathrooms, bedrooms and living rooms, no room has been left untouched during lockdown. And likely to be top of mind is how to make a home multi-functional. Adaptation is key. Today, our homes are needed for work, rest and play. Somewhere the family can be independent as well as gather together. And, hopefully, in time, a place for entertaining more than just a few friends. Equally, with another lockdown looming,
people want to make sure that they have all the essentials to hand. While we hope not to experience the long queues and overladen trolleys of previous supermarket sweeps, storage of food and associated necessities has gained in importance.
This raises an interesting dilemma for kitchen
designers. • How to make a kitchen adaptable to the multi- functional needs of different generations? • How to incorporate modern technology from robotic vacuum cleaners to charging a myriad of devices? • How to increase storage for food and necessities? While at the same time creating the design and
the sense of peace that a space without clutter provides. The beauty is in the detail. Those perfectly
created storage spaces that are tailored to every customer’s needs. From oak inlays in drawer fixtures. Dedicated laundry rooms and pantry storage. To furniture pieces that blur the boundaries of kitchen, dining room and living room. It is the understanding of the customer, their lifestyle and their habits that sets the independent kitchen retailer apart. And it’s in the details and the thought that goes into creative storage solutions that the answer to a customer’s needs is often found.

oday’s kitchen and living spaces demand flexibility. Brand next125

Timeless elegant design combined with multi-

placed under the next125 cooking table or as an eye-catching and adaptable drinks bar. It effortlessly adapts to the need of the individual, with beautifully crafted storage options that look at home in the living room, dining room or kitchen.
The new display cabinet from next125 demonstrates how furniture adds purpose and style to open plan and multi-functional living spaces. “We are seeing a resurgence of traditional furniture concepts, redefined for modern living, and this opens up some exciting planning options for retailers,” says Stuart Dance, Director of InHouse Inspired Room Design. “This new next125 glass cabinet injects a contemporary twist on a classical design, with a style that works in all rooms. Whether a freestanding statement piece or bank of built-in cabinets, simply adding integrated and dimmable lighting will alter appearance and ambience, adding a further layer of storage flexibility.” For details of next125 contact InHouse Inspired Room Design.
