The Kitchen

A modern kitchen should be an integral part of every home. A modern kitchen may - in some homes - be used less today than in the past, but every home has a kitchen whether it is in daily use, or not. A modern kitchen is seen by most as an advantage when it comes to selling the home, a smart, neat modern kitchen with all the ‘mod cons.’

The first thing many homeowners do on arriving at their new place of abode is to rip out the ‘old’ kitchen and put in a new kitchen; a kitchen that reflects their own taste and requirements, but also a kitchen that will add value to the property.

As life styles have changed, with the mum, perhaps, working full time, with convenience foods that can go straight from freezer to oven (microwave or otherwise), with families eating out more or eating more take-away food, it is interesting to see that there is a growing list of must-have appliances to adorn the modern kitchen.

In ones own kitchen, or the kitchen of a friend, or the kitchen in a possible new house purchase, most people would expect to see a cooker, a fridge, a freezer, a microwave, a dishwasher and probably a washing machine. In addition to this, it is fully expected that the kitchen would also have a kettle and a toaster. To this list of kitchen appliances one may also add a coffee maker, a bread maker, a food processor, a blender, a hand mixer, perhaps an ice cream maker and maybe even a yoghurt maker. The list is endless. So it would appear that for some, the less time they spend in their kitchen, the more they want to cram into it!

And what of the kitchen furniture? As in other areas of the house, the style of kitchen is down to personal taste. A kitchen with wooden doors, a kitchen with laminate doors, a kitchen with white glossy doors, a kitchen with painted doors – a shaker style kitchen, a farmhouse style kitchen, a modern look kitchen, a kitchen with lots of barley-twist pilasters; and what of the kitchen worktops? Laminate, wood, marble, granite, corian, glass?

If all of these choices appear daunting, relief is at hand - a kitchen from the Italian manufacturer Effeti will respond to all of your requirements and add significant value to your home. Being a kitchen of Italian design, it is structured around the fact that for Italians, the kitchen is still most definitely the heart of the home where cooking, eating, living and socialising is performed every day. Being of Italian design, it offers clean lines and storage solutions – in the Italian kitchen everything has a place and everything is in its place, clutter is definitely taboo!

The Effeti kitchen shuns unnecessary adornments, preferring beautiful clean lines that demand clutter free space and offer professional solutions whether you use the kitchen frequently or rarely. There is an extensive choice of styles, colours and finishes with a vast selection of appliances to choose from. Whether you want a showcase kitchen or a fully functioning kitchen that will satisfy the most demanding of cooks, the Effeti range of kitchens offer style, versatility and usability.
