Creating raised kitchen island seating is great for entertaining. It not only helps divide the cooking space from the socialising space, but it also offers up a relaxed “bar” feel in an informal setting before you move on to dining. And as a bonus, the nominated chef will not be left alone to prepare!
Great kitchen lighting can make all the difference, especially when creating the right atmosphere when entertaining. For a relaxing space, opt for soft pendant lighting; or for something different, the usage of colour changing LED lights will be sure to add a fun twist.
For those who like to host in the evenings, having a bar in your house is the gold standard of entertaining! Our partners at Masterclass Kitchens have a range of options where these bars can be created in handy cupboards, or dedicated areas can be created for those all-important apéritifs and digestifs!
The Neff Warming Drawer, is a low temperature drawer which slips seamlessly underneath the oven. This handy drawer can warm up plates and cups, slow cook food for flavoursome dinners and keep food warm until everyone is ready to eat. The perfect addition to someone who likes to host!
Investing in a smart oven gives you the ability to control your oven from any device connected to the internet. From switching your pudding on from your dining room, to sending recipes to your oven which can adjust temperatures throughout the cooking process, they are the perfect cooking companion!
