Kitchen essentials list
What are the most important items to consider to ensure you get the kitchen you need:
1 Excellent storage Use as much of the available space as possible with clever solutions.
Extra deep drawers are perfect for pots and pans and cutlery drawers keep everything in order.
Specialist storage and corner options such as ALNO's magic corner ensure tidy cupboards and easy access to the darkest areas of your kitchen.
2 Quality appliances Buy the best quality appliances you can afford and make sure they match your needs. There is a huge variety of equipment available which can be mind-boggling, so please speak to our designers who regularly attend training courses at top manufacturers for advice on which product will be best for you. Or look into our Let's Do Lunch days where you can watch Miele professionals demonstrate their latest appliances.
3 Intelligent lighting Kitchen lighting needs to be super-functional — consider natural and task lighting with well illuminated areas for preparation and cooking zones. Softer, mood lighting can be used elsewhere to create the right ambience for you. Pendants over islands or dining tables make a great style statement.
4 Durable surfaces The kitchen floor and worktops see the most use and it's worth investing in the best surfaces you can afford that will stand the test of time. Corian is always a popular choice due to its flexibility and good looks. Work surfaces can also make a big style impact from material to colour choice. We have a great range hard-wearing kitchen flooring options in our showroom.
