The Best Statement Pieces for Your Kitchen
There are many ways to add a centrepiece or focal point to your kitchen. Every new kitchen should have something that immediately catches your attention. This can be added later, built into a remodel or a renovation. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular statement pieces in kitchens today.
Designer Sink
Sinks now come not only in all shapes and sizes but colours too. Whilst you may not easily get a red one, most shades from white to grey can be found with varying materials and finishes. Modern sinks can also be mounted in different ways with or without draining boards (not so common now) and finished off with a beautiful mixer tap. Rinsing hoses, double sinks and other options can finish off the customisation. Modern homes may want chrome or gold to really stand out. Some modern sinks can double up as storage units or more worktop space. You’ll be surprised at what you can achieve just based on your sink.
Upright Cooker
For those who entertain regularly or just love cooking, then an upright cooker can make a fabulous centre piece to your new kitchen. Upgrading your cooker is one of those things that doesn’t just have to be done in a reno or a remodel too, although it’s often easier when designing cabinets around it. More than just looking good, an upright cooker also offers plenty more cooking options and flexibility in your kitchen. Paired with a hood or backsplash it can become the focal point of your kitchen with its strong sleek lines and commanding presence.
Island
An island is probably the most common statement piece in a kitchen, partly because they are very common now for kitchens with enough space, but also because there are so many options when it comes to the design and functionality of your island. You can have an island that incorporates seating or stools, or one that has extra storage space. Islands with sinks and even islands with cookers. There are so many ways to make it stand out, not just with its own design but with lighting, seating but also can be used to morph from one space to another incorporating bookcases for instance if it continues through into an open living room.
The larger your space then the more options you have, even splitting the island into two can achieve an incredible look. Low tables, as well as high stalls, can all be incorporated as well as drop-down lighting and storage space. The possibilities are genuinely endless.
