The kitchen is more than a place to prepare food.The kitchen has become a family room where several activities can take place simultaneously. Food is prepared, preferably with family and guests present. Eating of meals, children´s homework to be done, problems are discussed, often around a dining table, on a kitchen island or in a soft sofa.
P R Ac t i c a l D E S I G N The dining room has become part of the kitchen space, and many families want to change their layout, move rooms or tear down walls to open up a family room. It requires careful planning because it will be practical, functional, flexible space for more activities as well as a cosy refuge for you and your family to enjoy.

timeless A kitchen should last for many years and not be overshadowed by new design trends. It is important to choose functional solutions tailored to personal needs and desires. Colors that harmonize and lift the spirit. Plenty of cupboard space, good lighting and a solid work bench that makes it a pleasure to prepare food for family and friends.

new & OLD When making a new kitchen, not everything old needs to be thrown out. Restoring some elements whilst adding new helps a house to keep its “soul”. Original materials are often high quality and need a little care and a new coat of paint. Creative design solutions combined with today´s technological innovations.

Function Kitchens need careful planning that use space in a smart way, whilst also being stylish. Planning must be practical and functional. Water, electrics, lighting and ventilation are all cornerstones of design which need to be integrated. The visual elements of desigm, choice of materials and surfaces can be thought of as the icing on the cake.
White cabinets are clean and practical. Black work surfaces in granite creates a good contrast.
