The saying goes: your hearth is your home. Many of us enjoy spending time in the kitchen, and not always for the same reasons. Whatever brings us to the busiest room in the house, a few kitchen features are almost universally appreciated.
While you don’t need these features to enjoy your kitchen, they’re a splendid addition whenever available. So, without further delay, here is a list of 7 of the best essential kitchen features.
1. Kitchen island
Having your workstation in the middle of the kitchen is a fantastic way to organise big dinners, especially if the space is large enough to accommodate one. An island provides a place to prepare food, store essentials, or display a feast. Its centralisation is especially helpful for buffet-style events where you need an easy flow in and out.
2. Pot filler
A pot filler or “pasta arm” can save you a lot of time and cleaning up when you’re working with pots too large to push under a regular faucet. Using an extendable arm can remove the hassle of handling tall pots in the sink. The faucet’s flexibility is also great for pot fillers hooked up closer to the cooking surface.
3. Light-up cabinet
Nothing brings your wine display to life like buttery, warm underlighting. A light-up cabinet is a statement piece that you can turn on when the sun starts to dip below the horizon. Not only does it add some stylish lighting to your kitchen, but it also creates an inviting, open atmosphere for anyone who walks in.

4. Connecting bar
A bar area is a great way to entertain your guests while keeping a healthy separation between them and your workspace. You can jazz up any evening by serving signature drinks across the polished wood and even use it to display food. These connecting bars go especially well with a light-up cabinet to give it an extra cosy feel.
5. Walk-in pantry
Few things inspire an excellent meal like a full pantry, but what happens when you have more ideas than space to keep them in? A walk-in pantry is a showstopper when fully stocked, both for you and anyone you invite into your space. The extra storage also makes it easier to organise your stock for easy reach, better management and general accessibility.
6. Large, rustic sink
A deep stone stink is beautiful, but its value extends far beyond the aesthetics. A larger sink increases the space in your cleaning area, allowing you to better manage cutlery, pots and anything else that needs to be cleaned in the scullery.
7. Pull-out trash cabinet
Refuse removal is essential for every kitchen, but it doesn’t have to be in the way. A pull-out trash cabinet is an excellent way of ensuring that you can quickly dispose of scraps while keeping the bin out of sight and out of mind. Pull-out cabinets are also beneficial if you have pets around and want an added security level for them and yourself.
