Kitchen blunders and tips
Big porcelain sink: The butler’s sink – or farmhouse or Belfast sink, whatever you like to call it – is a great option when building a more traditional kitchen. They have huge capacity and some unique ergonomic advantages too – since there’s no front benchtop rail, you can stand right over them. They’re traditionally made from porcelain or fireclay; fireclay offers a harder finish that is more resistant to chipping.
Vacuum plate in kickboards: Easy cleaning Carrying the vacuum cleaner around the house is a bit of a chore. Consider installing a vacuum system in the kickboard of your kitchen. You simply sweep up the mess from the floor towards the vacuum plate on your kickboard and when you active it, it sucks up all the dirt that you sweep towards it.
Spice and knife storage - drawers: Look for some drawer organisers that store items such as herbs and spice jars neatly, so you can see the labels and easily find what you are looking for. Also look for utensil organisers such as in-drawer knife blocks. They will help you to store your knives safely, and you won’t have to look far to find the one you need.
