BLANCO –When appliances become part of the kitchen design T
he kitchen is increasingly being treated as a considered design space,
with homeowners looking beyond purely practical choices to create rooms that feel cohesive, characterful and reflective of their personal style. The investment in kitchen renovation is
significant, with median spending on both major and minor kitchen renovations rising by 34% to £17,500 in 2024, up from £13,000 the previous year1. As homeowners put more into creating their spaces, we’re seeing that individual products are becoming an increasingly important part of the overall design. Rather than simply blending into the background, appliances such as taps can provide an opportunity to introduce distinctive shapes finishes and materials, becoming strong design statements. BLANCO’s LUNEOO-S tap is a strong example
of appliances becoming design features in their own right. A bold interpretation of kitchen tap design, its sculptural, architectural form makes it a statement piece that commands attention, while the sleek pull-out spray head docks seamlessly onto the tap body using magnetic precision. Combining striking design with everyday functionality, LUNEOO-S brings both style and performance to the kitchen. It can also be fitted as part of the CHOICE drinks system, which redefines convenience, taste and personalisation in the kitchen. Offering filtered, boiling hot, sparkling

and chilled water at the touch of a button, CHOICE brings a comprehensive water solution together in one seamless system, while maintaining LUNEOO-S’s distinctive design. Available in a selection of finishes, LUNEOO-S offers homeowners the opportunity to make the tap an integral part of their kitchen scheme allowing consumers to add their own sense of style to every part of the kitchen, rather than simply a functional necessity. For a different take on the statement kitchen
tap, BLANCOCULINA-S II combines a semi-professional aesthetic with practical
performance. Its high-arching silhouette and exposed flexible spray hose give it a distinctive visual presence. The tap also offers hands-free operation through dual sensor technology, with a wave sensor on the tap body and a second sensor on the hose arm that can automatically fill a saucepan and stop when it is removed. This makes everyday tasks more convenient and helps keep the tap free from fingerprints, germs and dirt when washing your hands or handling food. The flexible spray hose and two spray options add further versatility, making BLANCOCULINA-S II as practical as it is distinctive. For retailers and kitchen designers, this
presents an opportunity to look beyond the purely functional role of taps and sinks. As homeowners invest more in their kitchens, distinctive forms, finishes and integrated technology can help these products become defining details within a scheme, bringing together materials, colours and forms to create a more considered and cohesive overall design.
