Technology helps kitchens become multi-functional living spaces

We’re using our kitchens more than ever before. It’s a busy place, used to work, rest and play, yet the design of the space is actually becoming more minimal and streamlined. While the trend for baking and preparing freshly cooked meals from scratch at home may be on the rise, the shift towards the ‘hidden kitchen’ is also continuing. As the kitchen increasingly becomes an extension of our living spaces, it needs to blend seamlessly rather than sticking out as a predominantly practical area of the home.

Innovations in technology are helping to steer this trend. From integrated extraction to induction cooking and hot water taps – creating a streamlined look is now key. The result is a professional kitchen set-up that sits seamlessly within the wider context of its surroundings – a multi-functional kitchen space for users to prepare, cook, dine and entertain.
