35 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 :
• I ’ m a big believer that less is more in a kitchen space , so installing discreet , convenient products is always a priority . One great time and space-saving tool that I always fall back on is an InSinkErator ® steaming hot water tap , perfect for a quick cup of tea . Also , a simple way to boost sustainability is with an InSinkErator ® food waste disposer , diverting organic matter away from landfill and into a circular economy .
• 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 .
• The perfect entertainment area also needs to double up as an everyday living space ; ask your customers to visualise the time they regularly spend in the kitchen and work around that . Whether it ’ s placing a quiet armchair beside the window for their morning coffee and a moment ’ s meditation or positioning the dining table to soak up the afternoon light while they work or write .
