Easy & Ergonomical

A space that can be described as the hardest working room in the house, the kitchen is an integral part of offering practical value in stylish ways. When remodelling a kitchen ergonomically, the room is designed to fit the needs of the homeowner. This includes integrated stove tops, practical shelving options, sufficient task lighting and easy-to-reach appliances that just make sense.

One of the most common adjustments is the incorporation of clever storage solutions into the kitchen. Homeowners are looking for ways to optimise their space while maintaining a clean, uncluttered look. This has led to the rise of hidden storage options such as pull-out pantries, pocket doors, and vertical storage units.

These solutions not only provide ample storage space but also create a sleek appearance. Open shelving is no longer practical and fluted glass doors provide the ideal solution to viewing the contents of your cupboard without the additional dust.

The future of kitchen design, like most other industries, lies in sustainability and environmental impact. Homeowners are looking for products and spaces that are environmentally conscious, using materials that align with their values. This way of life is a commitment to a greener future.

Black, Bold & Beautiful

The colour black offers a combined mix of calming poise with the perfect amount of dark drama. For a kitchen, it may feel like an intimidating and bold choice, however, black is making its way as the new neutral. Offering timeless elegance with its striking appearance, the darker shade plays into varying design aesthetics.
