Quality Kitchens in Bishop’s Stortford

The humble kitchen has come a long way from its even more humble origins. Indeed, the very concept of a “fitted kitchen” didn’t even really take off until the 1950s, with kitchens before that largely being a collection of surfaces and equipment thrown together with little thought for much else other than functionality. They were places you only went in to cook, and aesthetics were really not much of a consideration for the average home-owner.

As the way we look at food has evolved and changed over the years, so has the perception of what makes a good kitchen. These days people will eat breakfast in the kitchen, separate dining rooms being mostly the preserve of the wealthy. The kitchen is a place where people socialise, chat and often enjoy a sneaky afternoon gin and tonic. (And, of course, as memorialised in the famous Jona Lewie song, the kitchen is for many people the hangout of choice during house parties).

So for today’s homeowners looking to get a new kitchen, there’s a balance that needs to be struck between aesthetics and functionality.
