In the open-plan living which is a feature of our contemporary lifestyle, the kitchen is part of this space, and should have smart design, smart technology and smart functionality.

A kitchen that is part of the living space can be stressful for the cook in the family - keeping things tidy at all times, and the dirty dishes out of sight...keep mess hidden and / or have a butler's pantry and sink.

Consider the ergonomics of contemporary kitchens. All appliances should be efficient and easily accessible. Put an oven and dishwasher at waist level to prevent bending down to unload or to take hot things out of the oven.

Create a focal point with a plasma TV on a nearby wall, and / or a gas fireplace at waist level. This gives a focus and a unique point of difference to your kitchen, as well as being functional and glamorous.
