INSINKERATOR ® BRAND AMBASSADOR , KELLY HOPPEN CBE , SHARES KITCHEN DESIGN TIPS

InSinkErator ® brand ambassador , and renowned interior designer , Kelly Hoppen CBE , recommends key kitchen design tips to help you think creatively about your next kitchen project .
Kelly ’ s own personal style includes creating harmonious , neutral interiors where people , art and objects are the colour in the home . For Kelly , the home is very much about living and how it ’ s used . It must look beautiful , but at the same time be practical . Kelly Hoppen CBE has endorsed the entire InSinkErator ® portfolio of specialist kitchen taps and food waste disposers .
Since the global pandemic , creating individual spaces within the home is key and what ' s interesting is the kitchen , which Kelly believes is the heart of the modern home . The kitchen is the hub of the home , it ’ s for the entire family , the one room in the house that everyone uses and it ’ s this element which makes the kitchen and the way it ’ s designed so important .
KELLY HOPPEN CBE RECOMMENDS :
• Before designing their dream kitchen , encourage your customers to take a look at their existing set-up and pinpoint what works and what doesn ’ t work . From here , you can determine what you need to prioritise in their layout , fixtures and highlight the ‘ must-have ’ features in their new design .
• The heart of the modern home is the kitchen ; it ’ s where we tend to meet , eat , cook , and entertain . Personality and detail are important in the design scheme , but don ’ t underestimate the importance of functionality here ; the last thing you want is to be nudging guests out of the way to reach for serving utensils .
