Concealed Kitchens

EuroCucina 2018 was once again dominated by clever use of space, particularly regarding concealed kitchens. This is a trend that has been building momentum since 2016, and its popularity continues to grow amongst the British furniture market. Minimalist designs and simplicity are the essence of modern/contemporary kitchens, suitable for small spaces and open / broken plan kitchens alike. When worktops and hobs are hidden behind cabinetry, it can transform the kitchen into a sophisticated space that can fulfil all of the traditional cooking needs of your customer.
