BATHROOMS & KITCHENS
STORAGE
Large drawers are overtaking traditional door fronted cabinets in popularity while clever concealment of larders , pantries and workstations with sliding or pocket doors , allows for more ‘ hidden ’ storage . Kevin says : “ Wherever possible we are maximising storage with tall , often ceiling height , cupboards and pull outs for all areas , including clever Le Mans carousels for corners .”
MUST HAVE
The KI designers ’ list of essential kitchen items now includes a boiling water tap ( more efficient energy-wise and removes the need for the kettle ); a steam oven ( a healthier and more versatile option than a microwave ); excellent zoned lighting ; a warming drawer , which does far more than just warm plates ; and two big double bowl sinks eliminating the need for a drainer on the worktop .
