KITCHEN SIDEKICKS

Whether you're updating and revamping or starting from scratch, filling your kitchen with appliances and crockery essentials can be daunting - not to mention expensive! Although, like most projects in the home, the key to success is planning. With careful consideration, and prioritising the things you need the most, you'll be well on your way to curating a kitchen that's both beautiful, and (perhaps most importantly) functional.

The Basics

If you're just starting out, or redoing your entire kitchen, you'll need the hardest working pieces first: fridge, kettle, stove, and a microwave, for instance. Think about your daily routine from start to finish: everything from your first cup of coffee to packing away your leftovers at night. You'll want to invest in high-quality pieces that will see you through the years to come.
