Happy New Year from all at CK Installations

As we all start afresh in 2022 those of us who cooked over Christmas will know only too well about the misgivings of our current kitchens.

  • Not enough workspaces
  • Oven not big enough
  • More oven space needed
  • Fridge bursting to the max
  • Hob bursting over with pans
  • A second microwave would be great
  • Two ovens would be heaven-sent

Ok, Christmas and New Year is an exceptionally busy time in the kitchen but more than anything else it actually amplifies the problems associated with your kitchen.  These problems don’t just exist at Christmas they are there all through the year, only at Christmas when the pressure to produce the perfect meal is on do those problems pop up time and again.

Most of us simply work around the problems our kitchen presents throughout the year but imagine the time saved, and the heartache saved if we didn’t have to work around these problems at all.

The kitchen is a space to create

Any creative person will tell you, having the right space to work in is essential.  They may be an untidy creative or a super organised creative but the actual space they work in is more often than not just right for them to get down to being the very best creative they can be.  Cooking is no different, cooking is possibly the most important creative activity any of us do each and every day, ok we may opt for a ‘ping meal’ from time to time, but the very nature of cooking is creating the sustenance and enjoyment for the people we love and care for.

No matter if you are a messy cook, untidy or ultra organised, cooking can be hampered by the way your kitchen is configured.  The travel time from sink to the oven, the fridge to the oven, cupboard to cupboard alone can soon mount up making cooking more exhausting than it should be.  Remember you are creating and just like any other creative, having the right tools at the right time in the right place is essential to maintaining the creative flow, one break in this flow or concentration can lead to disaster, burnt or undercooked food, timing all wrong you name it.  This type of frustration alone can be the difference between cooking being an enjoyable giving experience and a nightmare you simply never want to repeat.

Time-saving gadgets, fancy storage solutions alone will NOT solve your creative space woes, having the right layout designed by an expert will.  Once your creative zone is right, then adding the gadgets and labour saving devices on top will only make the whole experience easier and more enjoyable.

At CK Installations we have many years of experience working with kitchens of all shapes and sizes, working with each customer in-depth to understand their needs and desires.  Most importantly we understand the ergonomics of kitchen design, we know how to create kitchens that not only look amazing but are the perfect space to create any meal, from beans on toast to a Christmas banquet.

Never forget that Christmas catering is in fact just a rather extravagant Sunday roast dinner, the basics are very much the same.  The volume of cooking, the added complexity of the extra side dishes, the size of the turkey and of course the amount of guests you are cooking for simply amplifies the problems you face in the kitchen every time you cook a regular roast dinner.

Ask yourself this, is cooking in your kitchen on a regular day enjoyable?  If the answer is no it’s a pain in the neck the chances are you are not to blame it’s the design and layout of your kitchen that’s at fault.

At CK Installations we design kitchens for cooking first, but we also pride ourselves on creating kitchens that also look amazing too.

With a team of professionals on hand from start to finish your can be assured of the very best kitchen your space will allow, and if you need a little more space we can build that too.
