"We consider ourselves enthusiastic researchers who leave no stone unturned, and we invested considerable time and effort in finding the ideal kitchen supplier. "

In-depth kitchen research

"There are numerous factors to consider when pursuing the dream of a new kitchen. We extensively explored various kitchen companies and evaluated their offerings.

Once the decision was made, they enlisted the expertise of Nina Heie, an experienced kitchen expert from HTH, who provided inspiration and guidance throughout the kitchen journey.

"We feel that we have received the utmost support and guidance throughout the process," the couple expresses, further adding, "We are highly satisfied with the choices we have made.

Solid wood slats and Base Laminate

The couple carefully considered the style of their house when selecting the cabinet doors for their HTH kitchen.

"With an old house, a mix of new and old furniture creates a harmonious atmosphere, and wood complements the soul of the house while adding warmth to the decor." Inspired by this aesthetic, they chose the Nordic Spirit slat door, which perfectly captures the desired style.

For the tall cabinets and wall cabinets, they opted for the Base Green model, which boasts a durable Base Laminate surface. 

The couple highlights the practicality of Base Laminate, as it is resilient and doesn't show fingerprints, making kitchen life significantly more manageable.

The perfect worktop

The couple chose an exclusive ceramic worktop with a matte surface. The brown tones of Dekton Radium beautifully complement the solid wood slats of the base cabinets, creating a harmonious and cohesive aesthetic in the kitchen.

The couple highlights the practicality of the ceramic worktop, noting that substances like beetroot juice and turmeric do not stain it. This quality proves invaluable as they extensively utilize their kitchen for various activities.

The ceramic worktop chosen by the couple combines both functionality and aesthetic appeal, providing a reliable and visually pleasing surface for their kitchen.

Maximize kitchen storage

When planning their new kitchen, maximizing storage space was a top priority on the wishlist. Given the large family and frequent guests, optimizing the available space became crucial. Here are the solutions the couple chose to meet their storage needs:

Organized tall cabinet

"Our tandem pull-out cabinet provides us with shelves that extend outward when we open the door, offering a perfect overview of all my pantry items," says the couple. "With this solution, there's no hiding at the back of the cabinet anymore. We can easily access and organize everything, ensuring nothing gets lost or forgotten."

Space-saving plinth drawers

"We're truly thrilled with our new expansive drawer plinths that offer ample room for storing a variety of items, including extra cutlery, candles, napkins, bulbs, tools, and batteries," says the couple. "The generous storage space allows us to keep everything organized and easily accessible, making our kitchen more functional and efficient."

Corner cabinet optimization

"The LeMans pull-out is a game-changer for us as it provides easy access to our juicer, blender, hand mixer, and kitchen machine whenever we need them," says the couple. "Before, these appliances used to clutter our kitchen worktop, but now we're utilizing the corner space efficiently and keeping our countertops clear.

"Our kitchen is more than just a functional space. It's a welcoming gathering point where both family and guests can thrive."

Practical kitchen features

The couple's kitchen features a spacious, extra-wide kitchen sink and a stylish black Quooker Flex.

"The extra width of the sink makes cleaning baking trays and roasting pans effortless as there's ample space for everything," says the couple. They add, "We're also delighted with our choice of a Quooker, which not only provides cold and hot water but also boiling water. It's incredibly convenient for cooking, making a quick cup of tea, sterilizing cutting boards, and more."

Downdraft extractor

The couple opted for an AEG hob with an integrated downdraft extractor.

"The integrated downdraft extractor effectively draws cooking fumes downwards, preventing them from spreading throughout the room and settling on curtains and furniture. Cooking bacon, in particular, has become a delight with significantly reduced food odours in the house since we installed the downdraft extractor," the couple explains.

The extractor hood is connected to a floor channel that efficiently channels the cooking fumes out of the room. Additionally, the hood features a built-in collector, making it easy to empty in case of any spills or overflowing food.

Beautiful interior design details

As dedicated kitchen enthusiasts, the couple is always searching for interior design details that can enhance the family's daily life. Here are some of the carefully chosen details they have incorporated:

Kitchen lighting

The couple's kitchen benefits from ample natural light, with a large window and glass door connecting to the garden. To ensure optimal lighting conditions throughout the day, the couple has installed a professional ceiling lamp.

Practical spice organizer

To ensure easy access and a clear overview of their spices, the couple has incorporated a spice organizer in one of her kitchen drawers. This practical solution allows them to quickly locate and identify the spices they need while cooking.

Drawer organization

Maximize space

In the couple's kitchen, there is a narrow shelf along the wall at the same height as the tall cabinets. It serves as a practical storage space for cookbooks and other essentials, adding a touch of personality to the kitchen.

"We love the special proving program and steam baking feature in our combi oven. It creates irresistibly light and airy bread with an exceptionally crispy crust."

User-friendly appliances

When selecting appliances for their kitchen, the couple had specific criteria in mind:

"We prioritize appliances that not only look beautiful but are also user-friendly and offer the necessary functions," they explain. 

They ultimately chose AEG appliances, renowned for their elegant design, high-quality construction, and versatile features.

The couple particularly enjoys using the steam oven, which proves invaluable when preparing meals for their large family. "Previously, we had a separate Sous Vide machine for cooking meat, seafood, and vegetables, but with the built-in Sous Vide program in our new steam oven, we no longer need that space-consuming appliance," reveals the couple.
