Smart Storage
Deep drawers vs cupboards – say goodbye to rummaging! deep drawers make storing large pans effortless while keeping everything visible and within reach. No more lost items at the back of a cupboard!
Pantry perfection – a well organised pantry cupboard means you always know what you have and where to find it – no more duplicate buys or wasted space!
Breakfast stations = morning game changer! a dedicated breakfast unit with a toaster, coffee machine, instant boiling water quooker tap, small sink and cereals streamlines busy mornings! Plus, it keeps your kitchen tidy by simply shutting it away after use.
Half loads, full convenience – double drawer dishwashers
Instead of waiting until the end of the day to fill the dishwasher, a double drawer dishwasher lets you load one drawer after every meal while you empty the other. This simple solution helps keep your work surfaces tidy and your kitchen organised all day long!
Power up your kitchen!
Adding electric sockets and USB ports to your kitchen island makes a world of difference!
Homework made easy – charge tablets and laptops while kids work on school projects.
Remote work ready – power up your laptop or phone while you prep meals or handle family tasks.
No more fighting over cables – keep your island tidy and devices charged without the hassle.
The ultimate family drop zone: A handy cupboard for every day essentials
Busy family life means invitations, calendars, keys, drawings, and phones often end up cluttering islands and countertops. Why not add a slim cupboard at the end of your kitchen unit? Everything stays organised, out of sight, yet easy to find when you need it!
Layered Lighting
We need different types of lighting in our kitchens. We need good general lighting. Lighting to help us with particular tasks such as cooking, prepping meals and homework. Softer lighting for more relaxed evenings. Pooky Lighting have a great range of re-chargeable cordless table lamps which add a lovely soft feature to any kitchen island without any visible cords!
Oversized cupboard for all those appliances i.e blender, waffle maker, pop corn maker etc.
As families grow, so does the collection of kitchen gadgets-blenders, waffle maker, pop corn machines and more! These appliances are handy but can quickly clutter your countertops. A large over-sized cupboard is a great solution! perhaps you have a cavity under your island which you can use? or space over/below your wall oven/microwave? keeping everything organised but easily accessible. Alternatively, consider pull out shelves or built in power outlets for added convenience.
Underfloor heating
With little ones washing their hands and constant activity around the sink, kitchen floors are often prone to water splashes. Underfloor heating not only provides a comfortable, warm surface underfoot but also helps dry up water spills faster-making it a practical and efficient solution for busy family homes.
Concealed pull out bins
With a busy family kitchen comes plenty of waste; food scraps, packaging and recycling all add up quickly. A pull out concealed bin keeps everything neatly tucked away, reducing mess and odours while making waste sorting effortless. Positioned within easy reach, it streamlines clean up time and keeps little hands (and pets) from rummaging where they shouldn’t. Practical, hygienic, and space saving-it’s a must have for family-friendly kitchen design!
Easy clean surfaces and materials
A durable, low-maintenance worktop is essential for busy family life. With so many options available, it’s important to consider factors like durability, heat and water resistance, and stain protection when choosing the right surface for you. For cabinetry, glossy push-to-open doors can quickly become covered in fingerprints-especially with little ones around! a matt finish with handles of your choice is a smarter option, keeping your kitchen looking fresh with minimal effort.
An organised kitchen is a happy kitchen!
A well planned kitchen makes every day life so much easier! creating dedicated zones such as cooking, food prep, washing up, homework and entertaining-helps keep the space organised and functional. Thoughtful planning is key, from the classic sink-cooker-fridge triangle, to smart storage solutions, like placing crockery drawers/cupboards near the dishwasher for quick and easy unloading. A little organisation goes a long way in keeping your kitchen running smoothly!
