Simple Life starts from the Kitchen
The goal of this project was to create a better experience during the preparation of food. Simple Life is a kitchen sink system that allows the user to cook food more efficiently and in a well-organised manner.
This kitchen sink system contains several creative features that improve the experience of cooking. We always repeat certain actions when we are in the kitchen – washing food, putting food into containers, cleaning the chopping board, and so on. If we can minimise the repetition and draw connections between each action to simplify the workflow, we will work more efficiently.
The design simplifies the procedures required for preparing food in conventional ways. Users can easily cut, transport, and wash the ingredients because all this can be done in the sink area. Also, the specially designed containers can be stacked along the rim of the cutting board. The food will never spill off the cutting board and the stacking containers can save space.
This kitchen sink system has four key features that make it stand out in the market. Firstly, the layout is based on different functions that help us to easily access different functional areas. Secondly, the colander/container set and cutting board can be placed in different positions over the sink. This provides flexibility in how things are arranged in the working area. Thirdly, as stated, the specially designed containers can be stacked along the rim of the cutting board. Fourthly, in order to service the different task areas, the faucet is placed in the centre of the sink.

HIDDEN HEART – LARGE SCULLERY IS THE WORKING KITCHEN

The solution for the owners of this new house was to build two kitchens – one that is essentially for show and another one directly behind, where all the work takes place.
Designer Sue Gillbanks of Kitchens By Design says that right from the outset the design emphasis was on the working kitchen or scullery. "Everything happens in the scullery," Gillbanks says. "This is where all the food preparation and cooking takes place. The sleek front kitchen is mainly just used for serving dishes and as a drinks area." The designer says the owners wanted to incorporate a 1500mm-wide freestanding oven, 900mm refrigerator and 900mm dishwasher in the scullery, plus lots of bench space and storage. "There also needed to be enough room for several people to work in the scullery at the same time. It was designed much like a commercial kitchen, with caterers in mind – there is even a door that opens directly to the front of the house so food and groceries can be unloaded easily." -
In keeping with traditional scullery design, the room features open shelving and cabinets without doors. "The chefs need to be able to reach any item or utensil instantly," says Gillbanks. "But even with all the cabinets, we ran out of room, so I added a hanging pot rack." Red cookware and appliances enliven the space and ensure it doesn't look too utilitarian, despite its functionality. "The owners say people gravitate to the room when they are preparing meals, even though this wasn't planned for." An island in the scullery provides additional food preparation space. This has a stainless steel top, while the rest of the benchtops in both kitchens are Silestone. The front of this island has cabinet doors, to provide a more streamlined look when viewed from the living area. "However, when the glass cavity door between the two kitchens is closed, the scullery is invisible," says Gillbanks.

Industrial pieces might not appeal to you, but when used in conjunction with your furniture they can add an interesting attractiveness to your living space. Here are some tips on how to use industrial accessories and furniture for maximum effect.One of the features of industrial style décor is to leave materials exposed, such as to show off a brick wall in a kitchen. It makes the décor feel more earthy and raw, without losing its feeling of homeliness.
Industrial’ doesn’t have to call to mind upcycling old metal in a dark room. The look can also be on the cutting edge of trendy, as you can see in the picture above that displays a high-tech chandelier. Such small accessories and touches to a room really culminate in creating an interesting ambiance.
We are lost for words! What do you think?
