Kitchen Design Tips to Reduce the Cost of Living
We’re all looking for ways to save money at the moment, especially those who are planning to renovate.
However, investing in a stunning kitchen design doesn’t have to impact your long-term spending. Here are some kitchen design tips to help reduce your cost of living:
Use Natural Light
One of the best things about natural lighting is that it’s free, so when creating your new kitchen it’s worth utilising as much natural light as you can.
Of course, this will be dependent on the placement of your kitchen in your home and where it faces, however making the most of the natural light your kitchen has access to will be sure to make a difference.
If your new kitchen is being designed as part of an extension, it’s worth considering adding skylights, additional windows and glass doors where possible to decrease the number of light fixtures required–helping you to save money long-term.
Release the Heat from your Oven
It’s worth leaving the oven door open after cooking in order to give your kitchen a little bit of extra heat in the evenings. This may help to reduce the amount of time you need to put the heating on, helping to cut your cost of living slightly.
NEFF supplies a very popular ‘Hide and Slide’ oven model, which has the option to keep the door safely hidden to maximise the heat gain for your kitchen. We have this available for you at
exact, as we’re proudly partnered with NEFF in order to supply our high-end kitchens with the appliances to match.
Invest in a Boiling Water Tap
Despite the initial up-front cost, boiling taps are actually money-savers when it comes to the bigger picture.
This is because they use up to 50% less energy than traditional kettles, meaning it’ll cost less to make hot drinks using these than to put the kettle on. Long-term, has the potential to be one of your most affordable appliances.
This is just one of the reasons why the
Quooker boiling water taps we offer to customers are so popular, as they’re the perfect addition to new kitchens for convenience and energy efficiency.
Now more than ever, it’s important to consider the factors in your design which have the potential to help reduce your cost of living in the future. This is something our team has a lot of experience with at exact, as we’ve been transforming homes for the better for years.
