The TU23 has been designed to feature in
kitchens to compliment a simple layout with an island that stands out and
becomes the focal point. Kitchens have become efficient, beautiful,
clutter-free spaces which offer an inviting place for the entire family to
meet, relax, work and entertain. Island kitchens are one of the most popular
kitchen layouts, providing a practical and functional layout, especially when
teamed with a bank of tall units with built in ovens / multi-functional ovens,
tall fridges and freezers. When designed with all areas of preparation, washing
and hob cooking in front of you, islands are easy to work around and also
provide a very sociable way of cooking. Islands also work well in
multi-functional living spaces, where there may be a combined living/dining
room.
It was once believed that there
must be a flow between the sink, oven, and refrigerator to create the kitchen
triangle. This was suggested as the best kitchen layout for ease of cooking and
working. While this may still be the general idea behind kitchen design, it has
taken a more exact approach as homeowners seek better ways to create flow in
the space. To create this “flow” most new kitchens are being designed to have
large work areas suited to each need. Most modern kitchens are open and airy.
They tend to flow naturally into other rooms, especially into a family room.
There’s often no hard break between where one room ends and the other begins.
Walls have been replaced with islands and tall storage units echo the scheme of
the island in the background as a feature wall complimenting the island. The
simple geometry of the TU23 hides all the inner workings of the kitchen,
creating a clean, open environment.
The new trend is for the island
to be in a different material to the tall units that are often in a natural or
neutral tone. This enables the island to make more of a statement while the
tall units blend in with furniture and colours elsewhere in the room. The
kitchen forms an open plan view of smooth, uncluttered, uninterrupted surfaces,
a kitchen that is functional yet minimalistic with tall units that frames the island.
The TU23 brings an element of sophistication and elegance, like a piece of art against
a wall complimenting the rest of the room.
