As we reveal the winners for our Domestic Diva Awards 2018, we take a look at the futuristic kitchen. Hyperconnected and multifunctional, these spaces enable you to cook, clean and live with greater ease than ever
When you think of the term “futuristic kitchen”, you may immediately conjure up images of Jetsons-style robot maids that do everything for you, from cooking meals to cleaning your home and doing the laundry. The truth is, the future is already here, but perhaps in more subtle ways than you would expect. The heart of the home is becoming more and more interconnected, both physically – as the popularity of open-concept kitchens prove, and technologically, with the rise of smart technology and more advanced R&D methods.
Here are seven things to look out for in today's most advanced cooking spaces that will revolutionise the way you live:
MULTIPURPOSE APPLIANCES
With homes decreasing in size, countertop space becomes more and more precious. As a result, cooking appliances are becoming more streamlined, with many performing multiple roles instead of just the one. Multicookers and all-in-one appliances that can bake, steam, grill, measure and even provide recipe suggestions are slowly becoming the norm as they save both space and time. These “uber-appliances” are usually designed to be highly user-friendly, with aesthetically-pleasing features and step-by-step guides built into the system.
