It’s time to talk about the Tech in your Kitchen

Working with you to make choices that feel good, work hard, and enhance the environment.

How do you assess what are the important decisions in your new kitchen?

Is it all in the furniture and the flooring? Is it the colour choice that keeps you awake at night? Is the Instagram appeal a main concern?

Or are you missing the elephant in the room?

The appliances – big or bashful, hiding in plain sight on or behind the furniture – are often only seen at the final stage of decision making. But it’s your choices for the tech that will ultimately dictate your long-term enjoyment of a kitchen: in how you move around it, share it, and use it, and in the energy it expends.

A room that isn’t planned around the specifics of its functions is a room that is unlikely to function well – and a room that hasn’t been created with due care for an environment is likely to leave ungainly footprints as it sets to work.

The choices made for the appliances are the ones that lighten burdens, gift time and space to share with family and friends, and help play a conscious role in the life of a responsible citizen.

I’m here to help you identify your priorities for the appliances, and to simplify your decisions about their choice.

How visible is your footprint?

– Will the footprint in your new kitchen reflect who you are, and how you and yours wish to use the space?

– Will the details of the appliances fit within an outline of your preferences, ideas, ideals, routines and rituals?

– Will you have carefully selected the appliances according to well-informed choices of what’s available and possible, and will they then fulfil the promises made on their behalf?

– Do your appliance choices fit with the way you think and feel about the world around you?

– Have you really thought about why you’re choosing what you’re choosing and the features that you value?

If your answers to these questions are a cause for you to feel confused, let me work with you to help you see a clearer path ahead.

Kitchen designers tend to focus on the furniture, whether they are in the market of selling standard-sized boxes or fashioning bespokely tailored items.

I’m here to help you select the appliances that will make the kitchen work for you. From the chilled storage and the waste disposal, to the ovens, hobs, dishwashers and taps – this service is designed to guide your footsteps along the tightrope of keeping it practical, responsible, and personally ‘real’.
