The key role of the water hub
The busiest area in the kitchen is the water place, where we spend over 60% of our kitchen time. Although usage varies, we all generally view the water place as having certain important roles: as the clean-barrier to eliminate dirt and bacteria from food ingredients and kitchenware, the hand-washing station, the drink area (either fresh water or to be boiled e.g. for tea), the clean source of cooking water and as a disposal area for food waste and liquids.
Planning a kitchen
Kitchen planning starts with people. From eager foodies to gourmet chefs, we all actively use kitchens and appreciate them as the heart of our homes. We are all different, but we all want to enjoy the time we spend in the kitchen.Detailed measurements and an understanding of access points for water, drainage and power supply are critical parts of the kitchen planning process. Every kitchen has three areas: the water place, the cooking area (oven and hob) and storage (cabinets and refrigerator). Together they form the work triangle. When defining these three spaces, try to make the distance between them as short as possible to optimise workflow and increase safety.
Start with a Sink
There are strong trends in kitchen design for various sink styles, but the decision should be made based on how the water hub will be used. Single bowls are great to provide greater worktop area, while double bowls help to separate tasks. Drainers can be a great feature too and can be used as a fixed element or as an accessory, for occasional use. With so many great options, it helps to take a few minutes to consider your priorities, and how you will use the space.
Tap styles, features and finishes
Our high-quality mixer taps are all safe, easy to use and durable. But they can do even more – we offer complete drinking systems for filtered cold, boiling or sparkling water directly from the spout. Or a semi-pro tap that easily reaches all corners of the sink, or a powerful spray with two different spray patterns. We even have taps for installation in front of a window.
Focus on the taste, not the waste
The combination of a BLANCO tap and sink has benefits that will last a lifetime, but to truly make the most of this area, you must organize it! This in-cabinet space has great potential for organisation, keeping cleaning products out of sight but close by and space for separating waste. Having an integrated waste system below the sink eliminates walking through the kitchen with dirty hands and waste, preventing potential spills. It also means having a clean, flexible solution right where it’s needed. So after disposing of food cuttings, you just wash your hands and keep on working. So easy!
Enhance with functional accessories
Find the right accessories that support the way you will use your kitchen. Enhance your UNIT with a soap dispenser, a strong cutting board that can be placed over the sink or a foldable grid and create a seamless workflow experience. Accessories will help customize a UNIT to meet special needs.
