Designing, building and arranging a space as dynamic as a kitchen requires great skill for the result to be optimal. This is due to the diversity of factors that must be taken into account, so that it is functional, comfortable and at the same time organised. For this reason, the following kitchen equipment should not be missing from your clients’ projects.
Certain accessories and furniture will allow objects to be arranged in an optimised way, offer comfortable storage, and also decorative to make the area a harmonious place.
There are many kitchen equipment that can be implemented. Here we will mention the most essential ones that simply must be there.
Kitchen equipment: corner units or rotating trays
If the kitchen has corners with worktops and storage space underneath, it is essential to install a system that allows and facilitates the storage of objects comfortably. This is where the kitchen equipment known as corner units come in. These are mechanisms with trays which, due to their design, can be pulled out of the corner, allowing easy access to objects hidden in the corners. Another solution is to implement rotating trays. Although they do not come out of the corner in an articulated manner, when they rotate they will allow access to and use of the rear areas of the corner unit. Given this condition of corner storage areas, it becomes essential to install such a system to ensure their use.
Extendable towel rail
It may seem unnecessary, but we will show you how useful it is. Kitchen towels containing grease, moisture and other elements should be hung up. If they pile up, it won’t take long for them to generate bad odours and degrade their fibres. The question is where to hang them, of course. Many people choose their handles for this function, which has a direct impact on the aesthetics, hygiene and durability of the handle when in constant contact with the dampness of the tea towel. Therefore, it is best to have an accessory designed to hang multiple cloths. It can be concealed in the kitchen drawers. This is the pull-out towel rail, which is why it is one of the must-have pieces of kitchen equipment.
Dish drainer and other kitchen equipment
After washing, kitchen utensils and crockery should be drained somewhere in an orderly manner to protect the pieces and avoid chaos. If there is no suitable place to do this, the dishes will remain damp, carrying bacteria and bad smells. That is why a dish drainer has several benefits. Health care, increased durability and aesthetic tidiness are the reasons why it is so important. It should be noted that there are many models of this type of accessory. Some offer two levels and others are for installation in cupboards or drawers and are concealed. Each one has its advantages and it is always interesting to choose the one that best suits the customisable structure of the kitchen.
Cutlery
Una cubertera es un accesorio bastante común en cualquier cocina. A cutlery tray is a fairly common accessory in any kitchen. It is useful because it allows you to classify the different utensils in an orderly fashion. It is beneficial for saving time and for the aesthetics of the drawer. These pieces are very simple and only need to be placed in a drawer with the precise measurements to start using them. Most of them do not require any kind of fixing. Without it, it is very likely that all these utensils will be in sight or in a drawer in disarray.
Siphon saver
The space under the sink tends to be underutilised because drawers cannot be fitted in the normal way, and a drawer would expose the siphon as an aesthetically unpleasing feature, of course. That is why, as a solution to this problem and in the interest of making the most of this space, there are siphon savers. These are pieces that are installed in the drawer and have the ideal curvature to hide the siphon while allowing the drawer to close without any inconvenience. To install it, it is necessary to make a drawer with special dimensions in which to fix the aesthetic cover with screws.
Utensil hangers
Hangers are pieces of various shapes that serve as a support for specific pieces. They exist for pot lids and are very useful for tidy storage in cupboards. But they also exist for glasses, bottles, plates, pots, condiments and whatever else you can imagine. Having some of them will help you to classify objects in an orderly fashion.
