So, we’ve put together this list to take some of the pressure off you. We’ve compiled 15 features that we think should be in every kitchen. We think you’ll fall in love with them too.
- Induction cooktop
There’s plenty to love when it comes to induction cook tops. Unlike traditional cooktops, an induction cooktop never actually gets hot to touch. Instead, using a magnetic field, it heats your pots and pans. They’re a great addition to a household with curious kids or if you have a habit of forgetting to turn the stove off. They are also often more energy efficient than gas and electric options. - Double sink with filter, boiled and chilled water
A double sink is a must, so you never have to worry about moving dirty dishes to wash and prep fresh veggies. Plus, when you install a filtered and automatically boiled and chilled water faucet, you can enjoy a drink straight from the tap. You won’t have to heat the kettle again either, which can lead to some extra energy savings. - Pull-out pantry
Pantries can easily get cluttered and it can be difficult to get a sense of exactly everything that’s in there. If something ends up at the back, you might not see it again until you move to a new house. However, a pull-out pantry changes this. You can see exactly what you have at a glance. Plus, a pull-out pantry is a great trick to make the most of all the space in your kitchen. - Pull-down shelving
Pull-down shelving is one of the best kitchen features out there, particularly if you have high cupboards. Rather than having to stand on a chair or stool, you can bring the shelves to you. And these shelves look elegant while being extremely accessible. - Self-closing drawers and doors
If you tend to forget about shutting kitchen drawers and cupboard doors, only to bump into them or leave the kitchen a mess, you need to get self-closing drawers and doors. With a little extra weight to them, they’ll close themselves if you ever forget. - Deep drawers
Speaking of drawers, deep drawers are one of the best storage options for large cooking pots and pans. Forget about pokey cupboards, these can slide under the stove, giving you easy access to these larger items. - Bin drawers
Bin drawers can be a neat way to keep your kitchen looking tidy and cut down on unpleasant smells You can place them just about anywhere in your kitchen. - Warming drawer
If you like throwing a dinner parties, a warming drawer is what you need. It keeps food ready while it waits to be served, so you don’t have to stay in the kitchen while your guests mingle before dinner time. - Two-tiered cutlery drawer
As the name suggests, this drawer has two tiers for storing cutlery of different shapes and sizes. When it is opened, the top tier of the drawer can slide back and allow easy access to lower-tier items. It can be a great feature for smaller kitchens. - Divided storage
While it’s common to use drawer dividers in cutlery and utensil drawers, but you can do so much. Divide all your kitchen storage so you can always find what you’re looking for. - Tray storage
This is a special built vertical storage facility which saves space and can easily accommodate pizza pans, cookie sheet, and cutting boards. This storage has a roll-out drawer system, which enables you to see everything. - Appliance garage
An appliance garage is a simple solution to store all your counter top appliances in a compact way. Your appliances are always plugged in; thus, you just have to open the door and slide the appliance out and use it. It helps to keep your kitchen counter top clutter-free. - Utensil rack
Installing a utensil rack is a storage-friendly way of organizing your kitchen. You can experiment with it and add an assortment of commonly used utensils within your reach. A well-designed utensil rack can even feature as kitchen decor. - Skylight
Skylights are the best option for small kitchens where natural light is an issue. Rather than give up precious wall space for a window, use your ceiling. - Under-cabinet lighting
Installing under-cabinet lighting is a practical way of providing adequate artificial lighting. It helps to brighten up the kitchen space and is very helpful during meal preps and clean up tasks. It can also be used as a stylish ambient light.
