Life around the kitchen

The parts of a kitchen people love are rarely about cooking. Tell us how yours gets used.

How often do you host guests?

Hosting often justifies a serving counter or island overhang.

Want a breakfast station?

A toaster, kettle and mugs in one pull-out corner.

Coffee or bar station?

Adds a tall unit with glass storage and a small counter run.

Do you buy groceries in bulk?

Monthly ration shopping needs deep pantry pull-outs, not just overhead shelves.
