Creative Interiors

Industrial style kitchens ✨

A concrete look and a metallic effect may not seem to be the perfect ingredients for feel-good ambience, however the opposite is true.

Industrial style kitchens give a raw, urban aesthetic that is both functional and efficient.

The clean surface design and the minimalist style combined with warm contrast colours and light create a truly on-trend look, and with our expert design advice you can create a contemporary, modern space with an industrial edge.

A place for everything and everything in its place ✨

We love how Beckermann Kitchens are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functionally perfect.

From smart dividing systems to flexible interior solutions, we can design your kitchen to include all of the little things that make a big difference.

Customer kitchen ✨

Our happy customers visited our showroom in the summer of 2021 looking for an extensive renovation of multiple rooms in their home, including their kitchen, dressing room and downstairs cloakroom.

Their dream was to transform the spaces in their property into something that combined classic style with practicality. We think they achieved that, and more!

Maximising kitchen space | Space-saving layout ideas for kitchens ✨

𝑺𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆-𝒔𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒌𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒔

Now that we’ve tackled storage, let’s explore some layout ideas to further enhance the functionality of your kitchen:

✨ The Galley layout: This layout is ideal for narrow kitchens. It features cabinets and appliances placed on opposite walls, creating a streamlined workspace with minimal wasted space.

✨ The L-shaped layout: This versatile layout utilises two adjacent walls, offering more storage and workspace compared to a galley kitchen.

✨ The open-plan kitchen (with a twist): While open-plan living is a popular trend, it’s crucial to maintain a defined kitchen area in smaller spaces. Consider using a breakfast bar, an on-counter pantry or a partial wall to separate the kitchen from the living space, providing visual separation without sacrificing light and openness.

✨ The importance of lighting: A well-lit kitchen feels more spacious and inviting. Maximise natural light by keeping windows clear of clutter and opting for light-coloured cabinets and worktops. Install under-cabinet lighting to illuminate work surfaces and create a warm ambience.

Maximising kitchen space | Clever storage solutions ✨

𝑻𝒐𝒑 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒌𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒔

Once you’ve assessed your space, it’s time to get creative with storage! Here are some of our favourite space-saving ideas:

✨ Vertical advantage: Utilise every inch of vertical space! Install wall-mounted cabinets that reach all the way to the ceiling. Add floating shelves above the sink or worktops for additional storage. Don’t forget about the back of your doors; install pot racks, spice racks, or utensil hooks to keep frequently used items within easy reach.

✨ Cabinet optimisation: Make the most of your existing cabinets with clever dividers, organisers, and pull-out drawers. Corner cabinets can be a storage nightmare, but installing a carousel system or Lazy Susan maximises accessibility. Consider installing risers in your cabinets to create an additional storage level, allowing you to utilise vertical space within the cabinet itself.

✨ Multi-functional marvels: Invest in furniture that serves multiple purposes. Opt for a breakfast bar with built-in storage or a stylish kitchen island that incorporates drawers, shelves, and even an appliance dock.

✨ Hidden gems: Utilise the space beneath your sink with pull-out drawers or a cabinet specifically designed for cleaning supplies. Opt for drawers instead of a solid plinth to create additional hidden storage for frequently used items.

✨ Smart storage containers: Decant dry goods like pasta, rice, and cereals into stackable, airtight containers. This not only saves space but also keeps your pantry looking organised and prevents spills. Label your containers for easy identification and a touch of visual appeal.

Maximising kitchen space | Clever storage solutions ✨

𝑼𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒌𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏

The first step to maximising space is understanding your current layout and identifying areas for improvement. Consider these factors:

✨ Traffic flow: Is there enough space to move around comfortably while someone else is using the kitchen?

✨ Accessibility: Can you easily reach all your essential items, or are they buried behind mountains of pots and pans?

✨ Underutilised corners: Are there any awkward corners or unused nooks that could be transformed into valuable storage areas?

We take all of these elements into account during your design appointment, helping you to unlock the full potential of your new kitchen, no matter the size.
