KITCHEN DESIGN IDEAS With the kitchen playing such an important role in the home in recent times due to the pandemic, it comes as no surprise that more homeowners than ever have chosen to make updates in this area. Changing cupboard fronts, faucets or a worktop can be quite transformational, and adding a well-thought-out storage solution such as shelving, cabinetry and compartmentalised drawers helps clear work areas and makes the room feel instantly more organised. Natural materials such as wood and stone have made a big splash in the kitchen in recent times, creating a more welcoming and organic feel. The move towards turning the kitchen into a more social area rather than simply a functional one has seen a growing number of bar islands being added to kitchen plans, which provides extra worktop space while bringing the household together for casual dining and social gatherings. Cooking should be a joy not a chore, so make this area of your home not just practical but beautiful, like your culinary delights!
Opposite Page Vipp’s V2 is a new kitchen system where Denmark meets Japan in its design aesthetic. Its reeded glass doors are framed by anodised aluminium for a semi-transparent view into what is stored inside the cabinet, also made visible during darker hours thanks to its integrated lighting, discreetly mounted under each shelf. Vipp is available through High-End Homes in Puerto Banús (www.high-endhomes.com).
