What happens when luxury Italian style meets exquisite South African craftsmanship? Blend Africa fuses the best of both worlds to offer interior solutions that are both functional and beautiful. In a short period of time, Blend Africa has grown as a successful offshoot of EuroCasaJHB, combining locally manufactured workmanship with more than 20 years of experience in kitchen and wardrobe installation.
Here are some valuable recommendations for setting up a kitchen that caters to your lifestyle:
- Take the time to plan out the layout of your kitchen to ensure that it is functional and efficient. Consider the work triangle between the sink, stove, and refrigerator, and ensure that there is enough counter space for food preparation.
- When selecting materials for your kitchen, prioritise quality over price. Choose materials that are durable, easy to clean, and resistant to heat, moisture and scratches.
- Make sure that you have enough storage space to keep all of your kitchen essentials organised and easily accessible. Consider the use of pullout drawers, shelves and cabinets to maximise storage capacity.
- Lighting is essential in any kitchen. Make sure you have ample lighting, including task lighting above work areas, and ambient lighting to create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.
- Choose appliances that are energy-efficient, easy to use, and suit your lifestyle. Consider the size and layout of your kitchen when selecting these.
- Invest in a good countertop as it is one of the most important features of any kitchen. Choose a high-quality countertop such as quartz or solid surface countertops and complement these with tile backsplashes and stainless steel appliances.
- Don’t overlook small details like cabinet hardware, lighting fixtures and taps. These details can add character and style to your kitchen.
- The most crucial aspect is to engage a professional. If you lack expertise in kitchen installation, it’s recommended that you hire a professional to guarantee that the task is completed accurately.
