Clutter free kitchens
Keeping your kitchen clutter free can be quite tricky, especially if your kitchen is small. Try incorporating as many extra drawers as possible. E.g. you could have a drawer for a CD rack or a drawer for your trays, a spice drawer, etc. Having large amounts of storage space is the key for your kitchen to be clutter free.
Another way to keep the worktops uncluttered would be to install a metal rail with a slide along rack for storage canisters, e.g. tea, coffee, sugar.

Granite tops
Granite is not only versatile in your kitchen, it is also more stylish than ordinary counter tops. It is great for chopping food on as well as taking a hot pot straight from the stove to the counter without it causing any damage to it. It also creates the ambiance in your kitchen when the light reflects off it making the environment warm and cozy.

Stylish Integration
An integrated fridge freezer is a good option if you are more of an entertainer in your kitchen space.
It is stylish and can be made to any design that will match your kitchen. It is also great for extra storage space as you can add cupboards around or on top.

Contemporary designs
If you have a large open space that you want to create your kitchen in, don't just think "normal" kitchen design. You could try a contemporary curved capsule design, with a high gloss finish. The finish forms a reflective surface, accentuating the rooms' light and airy atmosphere. The interesting door shapes give your kitchen a personality and makes it a pleasure to walk in every morning for breakfast.

Accessible islands in your kitchen
Your kitchen island could be fixed into the ground, which is good if your kitchen is moderately small. An island that has wheels attached so that it can be moved around is quite an attraction in a spacious kitchen. You could add an overhang so that it doubles as a breakfast bar.
Pull out racks and spice drawers are useful in your island. This means that oils and spices are easily accessible when cooking.
To hide a busy preparation surface from guests, you could add a raised bar area to your island. This would making the area pleasing when viewed from another room.

Features in your kitchen
Display cabinets are ideal in your kitchen for special ornaments that you want displayed. You could have the cabinet with clear glass or Perspex for the display, or you could have it glazed with a spot light shining down on the inside to highlight the contents.
Rubbish bins can become quite an eyesore in a beautiful kitchen. A solution to this is to integrate one into your work surface. The bin is packed neatly away in a cupboard while a stainless steel lid is fitted into the kitchen work top. Peeling vegetables will no longer be a fuss, just open and throw down the chute.
You could also integrate a stainless steel kitchen scale into your work surface. If you are one to weigh portions a lot, this would make your kitchen look sleek without having to pack out a scale each time you cook.

Window seats
Window seats can add extra space for guests to kitchens as well as extra storage space beneath. You could add wicker baskets for vegetables or drawers for storage. It makes the kitchen environment seem inviting and welcoming.
