The rise of the invisible kitchen for REHAU S
cott Williams, National Sales Manager for REHAU Furniture
Solutions, discusses the rise of the invisible kitchen: “The desire for multi-functional spaces that can
be easily adapted, paired with a preference for an uncluttered look in the home, has resulted in a rise in demand for invisible kitchens. This is easier
to achieve than ever, thanks to the availability of an expansive range of matching surface materials which enables homeowners to achieve a consistent look across the kitchen, seamlessly blending in with the surroundings. Whether this is through the use of a harmonious colour scheme across spaces, or tying together the same surfaces for worktops, frontals and splashbacks, the kitchen becomes a relaxing zone which is easily maintained. “The move towards reducing visual noise in the
kitchen is achievable not only through the use of consistent finishes and materials, but also by incorporating integrated appliances and smart storage solutions. In order to minimise clutter on display in the kitchen, storage that efficiently utilises space while offering a sleek and consistent aesthetic is key. For example, incorporating tambour doors or REHAU’S FLIPDOOR solution into a space provides a practical yet stylish and easy-to-implement solution – achieving a more streamlined and organised feel.” For more information about REHAU’s furniture

the average living room and kitchen now 15 per cent smaller than 40 years ago. With this in mind, how can kitchen retailers help customers make more of the space they have? Adeline Baker from Häfele UK explains. Making best use of the floor space and layout is
the first natural step when dimensions are tight, but designers should also consider the role individual kitchen components have in creating those important extra centimetres.
Häfele on maximising the compact kitchen O
ur homes have been on a downward trend size-wise since the 1980s with
Matrix Box A range from Häfele is one
such product that gives more usable space within the drawer thanks to its slim design. Similarly, our award-winning Free space flap fitting is designed to create more storage room within cabinetry by eliminating the need for large cover caps. Drawers are also a great option and designers
should consider systems that can form larder-style units for maximum space and performance. The M-Stax larder unit, for example, combines larder height with a huge 35kg load per drawer for a mass of storage within a single cabinet.
Designing a compact kitchen needn’t be a
challenge. By working closely with manufacturers and calling on their technical advice and wide product ranges, it’s possible to create highly functional and good-looking kitchens no matter what the footprint. For more space saving solutions from Häfele,
