One of the top trends in kitchen design is the move towards furniture-style cabinetry. The kitchen is now integrated as the hub of the home and designed as an inviting space the whole family can enjoy, rather than just a functional area alone. A great way to corporate this idea into your own kitchen is through an island bench. When designing an island bench it’s important to ensure it will fit your space and suit your needs perfectly. Add a warm homely feel to your kitchen by using a thick stone benchtop or create a feeling of space with a thin stone top and shadow line.

While the kitchen is becoming both a gathering and entertaining space, the Butler’s Pantry is an essential element to keep clutter out of sight. Whether your preference is for a luxury pantry or a full preparation kitchen, keeping your central kitchen minimal, stress free and a place that can be seen as an entertaining area is the key. A ventilation/purification system is also essential for this space which will provide fresh, filtered air; use an HRV-leading nanofiber filter for the purest possible environment for your family and guests.

Industrial style taps are on trend reflecting those of a professional chef’s kitchen. Home water purification systems are also a focus, giving you complete control of the purity of your water on every tap in your home. Clever design and innovative technologies have made it easier to integrate these essential items into the design.
