Freestanding Kitchen Ideas

The basic components of freestanding kitchens have all made, or are in the process of making, a comeback. Larder cupboards, also known as pantries; dressers; kitchen islands and butchers blocks are either used as the main components of a kitchen or mixed and matched with existing fitted units. The result is not only aesthetically pleasing but also good for the environment as there is less wastage, with some elements being moved from house to house through the various stages of life. The fact that everything doesn’t need to ‘match’ can also make freestanding kitchens more affordable than fitted kitchens and provides flexibility should you decide you want to move things around later on. You can add one or more freestanding units to your kitchen to complement or contrast with any existing units.

1. The Kitchen Dresser

A kitchen dresser offers a marvellous means of showing off your pretty crockery, ornaments and cookery books whilst providing useful storage for kitchenware such as dining sets and cutlery. Consider having it painted in a different colour to the existing units in order to emphasise it as a statement piece. If you’re not feeling brave enough for anything too bright, opt for a neutral such as dark grey. A painted kitchen dresser is a piece of furniture to last for years and as such is a classic investment piece.

 2. The Pantry

As with the dresser, a kitchen pantry or larder unit can be painted in a stand-out colour to achieve a chic, designer appeal to your kitchen. It is also incredibly useful for storing grocery items such as tinned food, breakfast cereals, pasta, flour and spices. You can order a bespoke unit from Furniture4Your Home to suit your cooking habits so whether you’re a baker, a curry afficionado or a food-on-the-go cook, think about how much space you need for each type of foodstuff and design the interior of your pantry accordingly.

3. The Freestanding Unit with Sink

A Belfast sink within a freestanding unit is not only very much on-trend but also extremely useful for busy families needing somewhere to plonk saucepans and dishes out of sight until the dishwasher can be loaded. The depth of a Belfast sink is also perfect for washing larger items and for soaking overly dirty laundry such as muddy football kit before it hits the washing machine. Once you’ve had one, you’ll wonder how you ever did without it.

4. The Freestanding Kitchen Island with Reclaimed Wood

Reclaimed wood is not only beautiful, it makes use of timber that would otherwise be lost and wasted. Sustainability is an important feature in modern kitchen design and we think this kitchen island has masses of extra character with its reclaimed top.

5. The Kitchen Island on Wheels

A kitchen island on wheels offers the ultimate in flexibility. Paint it in any colour of your choice and change your mind as many times as you like each time you refurbish your kitchen or move house. This stunning piece can also be moved around the kitchen and even into the dining room as required and depending on what you decide to store inside it. Crafted to last for a lifetime and guaranteed to be loved through the generations, this is a timeless piece of furniture that will look fantastic in both period and contemporary properties.

How to Choose a Display Cabinet

Image
An oak display cabinet is an investment piece so it’s well worth spending a little time thinking about what its main purpose will be, prior to selecting one. Generally speaking, this involves considering available space, styling, functionality and location in addition to more obvious criteria such as budget. Above: https://www.furniture4yourhome.co.uk/deluxe-solid-oak-large-3-door-3-drawer-dresser A display cabinet can double up as a dresser, which can be particularly useful in the kitchen where a good amount of storage is needed. Cupboards and drawers hide the less interesting but essential items such as cutlery whilst elegant wine glasses and pretty tea sets can be displayed behind glazed doors. Having a display area for treasured pieces is especially valuable when the kitchen is used for dining and aesthetics of the room are therefore more important. Oak is a timeless and durable wood and can withstand the probable wear and tear determined by its location in the kitchen without...

You’ve done the ruthless declutter and bestowed endless bags of belongings to the charity shop but you’re still short of storage space. What next? It’s time to get creative. We’ve come up with five ways to store your essential items that you might not have considered before. Above: https://www.furniture4yourhome.co.uk/breeze-blanket-box 1. Blanket Box A blanket box is no longer used for storing blankets in most households as most of us use duvets these days. For this reason alone, it might never have occurred to you to purchase one but they can be incredibly handy and versatile. A wooden or neutral painted blanket box will fit in with the décor in any room so it can be moved to wherever it is most needed. If children’s toys on the floor are the bane of your life, a blanket box in the play area is brilliant for just throwing everything into before bedtime. In the bedroom it can be used for bags, jumpers, spare dressing gowns or even towels. Pop it under a window with a cushion on t...
