Free Standing Kitchens - Unleash Your Creativity

If you are a creative cook in the kitchen, then why not be creative in your kitchen’s design and opt for a free standing kitchen.

Free standing kitchens are the truly unique way to express your individuality. With free standing kitchens, you have much more control over how your kitchen is designed – allowing you to deliver a bespoke room that’s functional to your particular needs. If you’re a big cook that spends a lot of time in their kitchen and makes plenty of demands on their cooking utilities, with free standing kitchens you can design the perfect environment to suit your demands.

Free Standing Kitchens – Where Function Meets Style

Similarly, if you are not much of a cook, a free standing kitchen will provide you with the flexibility of creating a minimalist kitchen. With a free standing kitchen, you can mix and match each piece so it is completely bespoke to your style and needs. Or pick and choose stand-alone pieces of kitchen furniture to add to your existing kitchen. Unlike fitted kitchens, stand alone kitchens are easy to install and perfect for awkward spaces. If you don’t want to box off the space with a fitted kitchen, stand alone designs can help you maximise your space. And if you love your free standing kitchen – if you move house you can take it with you!

Designing Free Standing Kitchens

Our kitchens are the most important room in our homes. And so space is at a premium – for a functional and practical kitchen you need essential items in your stand alone kitchen. If you’re thinking of designing your own space, remember these key tips:

The Golden Triangle – Free Standing Kitchens

The Golden Triangle is a commonly talked about principle when it comes to designing free standing kitchens. The most in-demand equipment and utilities and the work surfaces should be grouped together so you can work efficiently and effectively. For busy cooks – this could be the cooker. If you hate cooking, your microwave may be your most essential item. With a free standing kitchen, you have the ability to move your work surfaces around if you invest in an island - giving you the ultimate in flexibility if you feel your kitchen design isn’t working at its best.

Storage for Kitchens

Storage is perhaps the next most important consideration – if you have too much you are wasting valuable space, too little and you could end up in disorder. Innovative approaches to space can help – such as a suspended pot rack – which can add to the style and character of your free standing kitchen. If you opt for a free standing kitchen over a fitted one you have the flexibility to add or remove storage to suit your changing needs.
