KITCHENS

INSINKERATOR® BRAND AMBASSADOR, KELLY HOPPEN CBE, SHARES KITCHEN DESIGN TIPS InSinkErator® brand ambassador, and renowned interior designer, Kelly Hoppen CBE, recommends key kitchen design tips to help you think creatively about your next kitchen project. Kelly’s own personal style includes creating harmonious, neutral interiors where people, art and objects are the colour in the home. For Kelly, the home is very much about living and how it’s used. It must look beautiful, but at the same time be practical. Kelly Hoppen CBE has endorsed the entire InSinkErator® portfolio of specialist kitchen taps and food waste disposers. Since the global pandemic, creating individual spaces within the home is key and what's interesting is the kitchen, which Kelly believes is the heart of the modern home. The kitchen is the hub of the home, it’s for the entire family, the one room in the house that everyone uses and it’s this element which makes the kitchen and the way it’s designed so important. 50

KELLY HOPPEN CBE RECOMMENDS: •

Before designing their dream kitchen, encourage your customers to take a look at their existing set-up and pinpoint what works and what doesn’t work. From here, you can determine what you need to prioritise in their layout, fixtures and highlight the ‘must-have’ features in their new design.

The heart of the modern home is the kitchen; it’s where we tend to meet, eat, cook, and entertain. Personality and detail are important in the design scheme, but don’t underestimate the importance of functionality here; the last thing you want is to be nudging guests out of the way to reach for serving utensils.
