Is Your Kitchen Eco Friendly?

You drive an eco friendly car, you recycle, you use solar power but what have you done to make the kitchen in your Sheffield home green? It may seem like a hard thing to do but there are plenty of ways that you can make your kitchen more environmentally friendly. Here are a few kitchen design tips to get you started:

•    Make sure that you have a good design. A lot of times when homeowners are renovating their kitchens they go with what is trendy rather than what is practical. Trendy doesn't last very long, which means that you will need another remodel in a few years. You should think about what is practical and can last - the fewer remodels you do the better for the environment.

•    You should choose cookery utensils, plates, spoons and everything else that will last a long time. If you buy cheap items for your kitchen you will have to replace them often which doesn't help the environment. Avoid buying plastic as much as you can, and only use disposables for big parties.

•    When you are shopping for a cooker and other electronics for your kitchen you should look for those that are designed to be energy efficient.

•    Whether you use gas or electricity you should be conscious about waste. How many times do you let the kettle over-boil? Do you leave food on the stove or in the oven too long? It is by looking at seemingly small things that you will make a difference in the long term.

•    It is pointless for you to be doing all these things if the rest of your family isn't. Talk to them about making your kitchen more eco friendly and ask them to pitch in their ideas.

•    Make use of your oven to reduce your power consumption. Many recipes call for ovens to be preheated but many newer models heat up so fast they don't require preheating. Also, as much as possible you should cook more than one thing each time you use the oven. Think of recipes that can help you do this.

•    Buy your food locally - if you buy imported foods you are contributing to environmental degradation because the further away food comes from the more fuel it requires to deliver.

If you want more ideas on how you can make your kitchen more eco friendly you should talk to The Kitchen Company - they have kitchen designers who are experts in this area. You can find out more on their website, http://www.kitchencompanyltd.com/.

Top 5 Kitchen Design Trends in 2017

The kitchen in your Sheffield home is where you and your family prepare and enjoy meals and if you are like many, you spend money to improve it every year. This year, as you are thinking about renovations you should consider what is trending. So far, there are several kitchen designs that seem to be popular, and it is interesting to see that they remain simple and elegant.

Better designs in storage solutions

Ordinarily, kitchens have cabinets where you can keep away dishes, cups and other crockery, leaving things like kettles and jars on the counter. This is changing now  - by creating high end kitchen storage kitchen appliances are now going into much larger, well designed cabinets. The point is to remove all clutter from counters leaving a clean, sophisticated look.

Quartz kitchen counters

People are now moving away from laminate to quartz and it is easy to see why. Not only does it make for a much more sophisticated look, quartz also lasts longer. You will also be happy to know that quartz is much more customisable, so you will have counter-tops in whatever design you want.

The industrial look

This may sound counter-intuitive - who wants a kitchen with an industrial look - but it is proving to be surprisingly popular. It involves exposed brick, pipes, a minimalist and rustic look and the end result is quite an elegant looking kitchen. In case you are interested, this style of kitchen design originated in Scandinavia.

Here is what housebeautiful.co.uk has to say:

 "This is a look that combines the beauty of materials such as wood, stone and concrete and then with advanced engineering creates innovative finishes and solutions. It's a look that repurposes and redefines, creating designs that echo our desire to rein things back to what really matters: form, function and aesthetics."

Handleless cabinets

If you want a modern looking kitchen with a minimalist finish you should consider installing handleless kitchen cabinets.

You will be surprised at how different things will look if you get rid of cabinet handles.

The new cabinets you install should be stylish with plenty of room so that you can get rid of clutter.

Clutter free kitchens

We have talked a bit about clutter, and as it turns out in addition to new designs that help keep counter-tops clear, clutter free kitchens are also becoming more popular.

Our showrooms are also open at customer friendly hours.

Opening Hours:
Monday to Friday 9.00am – 5.00pm
Saturday 10.00am – 4.00pm

We take your expectations very seriously and we do whatever we can to make them come through. Once you get in touch with us one of our expert kitchen designers will come to you and get all your requirements. It doesn't matter what kind of modifications you want - tell the designer everything so that they can come up with high quality photos for you to approve. If after you see the photos you would like to make additional changes we are happy to do that. As soon as we get your final approval our installers get to work, supervised by the designer.

Our kitchen design Sheffield service is fast so you will have your brand new kitchen in the shortest time possible. All installations are done by trained and experienced laborers and everything we install will last a long time. In fact, we don't stop with installation.
