Improve kitchen safety with a pot filler
Trying new recipes and hosting a dinner party to share with friends is delightful. Consider installing a wall-mount pot filler behind the cooktop to make filling stock pots for boiling pasta or creating homemade soups fast and convenient without carrying a heavy, full pot of water across the kitchen.
Choose a high-arc faucet
Is it troublesome to get juicer accessories, stock pots and pitchers under the current kitchen faucet? Upgrading to a high-arc style that swivels instantly takes out the guess work of making large kitchen accessories fit in the sink when washing and filling. For added luxury and cleanliness, choose a faucet with hands-free motion-sensing technology to keep germy fingers off levers and reduce water waste.
Indulge in a deeper sink
No space for a dishwasher in a galley kitchen? Invest in a kitchen sink with a basin large enough to submerge colanders, saucepans or blender carafes to easily soak away cooked-on foods and dried smoothie residue, making dish washing much easier.
Install a filtered water dispenser
This small sink add-on ensures a fresh consistent supply of purified water for cooking or drinking. A built-in filter eliminates the need for a large water cooler, space to store jugs of water, lugging water home from the store or refrigerator space for bottled water. Plus, filtered water just tastes better.
Get a butcher-block countertop
Install a wooden substrate on a small section of the kitchen workspace and it becomes a multi-tasking center. In addition to being able to slice and chop with ample room, hot dishes directly from the oven can rest on the wood without melting or scorching the resilient surface. Plus, butcher block adds a pro-kitchen vibe to the room.
