Without more information, I don' t believe you can gain much information from your poll. Is there a window behind your sink, how large or deep is your sink, is this on an island .... Gut instinct for a nice kitchen tap is always to go big.... but hard to say without fitting it into a bigger picture.

I love all your ideas....bu as we currently have a new + good bin in there already, i don't want to spend another $100+ on another..and this is only a temporary solution...for the nxt few years..as the kitchen won't last much longer. I already have my 'kitchen' cleaning products under my sink..which is unfortunately a separate cupboard to my bin. We couldn't fit the bin under the sink! Prob not much point me taking the cleaning stuff out of my laundry to put in the bin cupboard!! I think i might put some plywood up beside the bin to keep one side of the cupboard separate! That way i have at least 1/2 cupboard of useful space!!

Lighting - pendants over the servery bench should be another feature that complements your chosen kitchen surfaces. So whilst I love the copper pendants in picture 1.. They could work depending on the rest of your decor and would be a highlight in a neutral white/timber kitchen = Good! If you choose copper you would complement it with a couple of copper bench top items. These are beautiful! (I collect copper because I love it, my kitchen pendants are silver, I renovated to sell in the next 3-5 years) You will see a picture starting to form in your mind and there is nothing wrong with making a statement with your lighting. I found that when I wasn't sure I would get a very strong sense of what was right and what was wrong for a space, then common sense or passion would determine the outcome! Here are another couple that might work, look her on Houzz under lighting, search pendants, then have fun looking!Timber tones with black or white to complement your cabinets... or Statement white pendants for a bit of quirky fun! Your personality can be reflected in your lighting and accessories creating that point of difference from the predictable white on timber look. Plus don't forget the power of greenery to punctuate the theme!

Hi Margaret, Kitchens have a lot of options so it's good to speak to your kitchen specialist about how you use your kitchen as drawer sizes tend to be influenced by type of item you are storing and which zone. DYNAMIC SPACE are Blum's ideas for practical kitchens, you can check out the zone planner, cabinet solutions and tips in our kitchen ideas section of our website. Think about the items you desire to store in your new kitchen in the following 5 zones and this will help you create a brief for your designer: Consumables, non-consumables, cleaning, preparation and cooking. Examples: 450 mm wide is a common width for a bench height rubbish bin solution with SERVO-DRIVE uno 600 mm is great width for a SPACE TOWER pantry 900 mm is a dream cutlery, utensil, plate or pot drawer Click for our NZ Kitchen Designer and Manufacturer Directory. All the best for your new kitchen. Regards, Sophie Blum NZ
