The Kitchen as the Heart of the Home: Stylish, Smart, and Functional
The kitchen has slowly moved from a space reserved for simply cooking and preparing food, to becoming the entertainment hub of the home, and appliances used for cooking have now become a statement on their own.
High-end appliances improve resale, allow for gourmet cooking and provide proper temperature controls, all while looking sleek and sustaining durability, efficiency and longevity. Ikon have multiple appliances that are ideal for connecting food culture with advanced technology.
Ceiling Rangehoods are a great option for cooking in combination with island bench units. Sleek and stylish the slimline design of these products means the homeowner can enjoy open plan living and socialize without a big bulky rangehood getting in the way. They can inserted into the ceiling, hidden away or created as a feature and can be used up to 3 meters away from the cooking zone. They are frequently used overseas in cultures where island cooking is a priority, New Zealand is just starting to take on this trend.
Perhaps the most overlooked, yet most critical function in the kitchen is the tap and sink with the most used appliance in the kitchen being the tap/sink combination. On average, a family of four will use their sink area 20-30 times a day. We encourage designers to think about reallocating budgets towards this most heavily used ‘appliance’ allowing clients to spend more for better quality and more attractive solutions.
