How to create an amazing free-standing kitchen

After a long hiatus of around seventy years, free-standing kitchens are back! If you want to
swap boring fitted cupboards for something far more individual, read on to find out how to
create an amazing free-standing kitchen.

Classic is always contemporary

If you want to create a kitchen that will look great for years to come, go for a classic
country look. But don’t worry – that doesn't mean you’ll have to start hanging dried flowers
everywhere or making sculptures of hedgehogs out of dough! Just keep things simple with
soft colours and plenty of good quality wood. Welsh dressers look fantastic in country
style rooms, but they’re fantastic for storage too. You can keep plenty in the drawers and
cupboards, and include a plate rack on the shelves as a handy place to keep crockery too.

Modern storage solutions

People often dismiss the idea of a free-standing kitchen because they think it won’t offer
them enough space. But there are tons of modern storage solutions you can choose that
give you the option to design your kitchen – exactly as you want it. If you’ve got a modern
space, star white walls will look great with a metallic modular shelving unit. This industrial
style looks amazing, and is a great way to store food or other items neatly, whist keeping
them in easy reach.

Chic counter tops

You may be wondering how you get the space for chopping and preparing food in a free-
standing kitchen, but you can easily fit countertops and choose any colour, style or material
you want. There are plenty of countertops to choose from, made from recycled materials
like glass, plastic and paper. They’ll look so much better than Formica, are better for the
environment too.

Ovens and hobs

If you’re worried that your white goods won’t look right in a free-standing kitchen, opt for
the classics. A Beko cooker from Littlewoods or an Aga is ideal for a free-standing kitchen,
and can be placed wherever you wish. With a free-standing oven, your cooker can be
perfectly placed to become the heart of your home.
