Kitchen Trends

Now that December’s finally here, it’s time to start planning your Christmas food prep and cooking so that come the big day, it’s all as easy and as stress-free as possible. Whether you’re cooking a traditional turkey with all the trimmings, goose, beef, pork or lamb or perhaps a vegetarian or vegan favourite, Rangemaster has everything you need with appliances, recipes and finishing touches to make this Christmas a wonderfully memorable and relaxing time for all.

Now that autumn is well and truly here, it’s time to start thinking about hunkering down and making your kitchen all cosy. This season is all about preparing hearty home cooked food and enjoying staying in with family and friends.

Summer tends to be a time for relaxing, going on holiday and getting out into the garden. And with barbecues and simple salads rather than intense, time-consuming meals on the menu during the week and at weekends, many of us will be spending little time in the kitchen. That’s why giving this space a fresh new look this season is more about the little things rather than a large, rip it out and start again kind of project. With this in mind, this month we’ve got 11 simple steps to a new kitchen look.

When it comes to giving the kitchen a fresh new look, you don’t have to splash out on a whole new design. Removing and replacing cabinets and worksurfaces can be time-consuming and expensive. But there are other ways of giving this space a totally new look for less.

With the new year underway, many of us will be considering investing in a new kitchen in the coming months. After the stresses and strains of the last few years, 2022 is predicted to be a time for home improvements.

It’s all very well swooning over the large open-plan kitchens with generously sized appliances that we see online and in magazines. But in reality, many of us have the challenge of kitting out a more compact space. It may be that you have a period property with separate kitchen and dining room, a new-build with a small kitchen layout or a city centre apartment with an open kitchen-living area that needs space-saving solutions.

For many buyers, choosing a range cooker is not just about its features, functions and how it performs. For many people it’s all about the colour too. Some want their cooker to provide a statement appliance within the kitchen, contrasting boldly with the cabinetry, work surfaces and overall colour scheme. Others prefer a more subtle approach with a neutral tone that blends in. And there are of course, keen cooks and budding chefs who desire the professional look and feel of a striking stainless-steel design.

When you’re looking for the very best in terms of range cooker quality, build and performance, you are spoilt for choice as not only are there so many options for a Rangemaster but there are also different fuels, colours, features and functions with a Falcon range cooker too. With its heritage firmly rooted in professional catering and made in Britain, the brand is well loved by celebrity chefs, cookery schools and restaurateurs alike and offers a fantastic statement piece for home cooks looking for their next appliance upgrade.

I do love a new colour palette, so when Rangemaster announced it was introducing three new colourways to many of its range cooker models, I couldn’t wait to see what was in store. The brand-new Earth collection is inspired by the natural world and is designed to bring a feeling of the outside, in. A blurring of boundaries between inside and out if you will; and a trend that has become ever-more popular with interiors of late, as homeowners seek to give their spaces a sense of peace, tranquility and well-being.

The way we use our homes has changed dramatically over the last year. As more of us work from home while possibly also juggling the needs of home schooling the children, our kitchens have had to become multifunctional spaces that provide a space for many different activities. As well as preparing and cooking food, eating, relaxing and entertaining (when permitted), kitchens now also need to be places of quiet, concentration and creativity for home workers as well as children and their online virtual learning.
