Must Have Home & Kitchen Accessories For 2020.

The desire for industrial styling within kitchen design boomed into popularity during 2019. Black and metallic accessories were highly sought after. Manufacturers continue to offer sinks and taps in a whole array of metallic shades as kitchens featuring an industrial theme will continue to be hugely popular this year too.

Sustainability is also a key issue for people planning a kitchen refurbishment. Hot taps and filter water taps will continue to be highly desirable as plastic waste reduction continues to be a key environmental topic. The demand for natural materials is expected to rise significantly with more homes opting for environmentally friendly, recyclable options in their kitchen, such as stone and wooden work surfaces.

With these key design elements in mind we have put together our top home and kitchen product picks for this year. These 'must have' items are ideal for new kitchens or perfect additions if you're planning a re-vamp of your existing kitchen.

Skare Soda Maker

Introducing the Skare Soda Maker. Not only does the Skare Sparkling Water Maker look stylish but it is built from durable, high quality stainless steel components too! 

If you love a little fizz in your water then this fabulous product would make a fantastic addition in your kitchen. It will save you lugging heavy bottles of sparkling water home from the supermarket and reduce plastic waste at the same time! Complete with its own re-useable bottle, you can enjoy freshly prepared sparkling water on the go.

It can be used with AGA, Sodastream and many other standard cylinders. It is available in a variety of colours including ice white, black and stainless steel.

Abode Hex Tap Range

Abode launched a new tap range last year; The Abode Hex. This wonderful collection of kitchen taps ooze industrial style and we have no doubt these will be flying off the shelves this year.

Consumers are opting for darker tone units in their kitchen. Dark, concrete palettes and navy tones are popular colour choices for kitchen furniture and 2020 we expect to see more pastel shades being used in kitchen design. Metallic accessories will compliment both darker and pastel shades perfectly and the Hex is no exception!

Quality and style come hand in hand with the Abode Hex Tap Collection. Subtle yet eye catching, the Abode Hex is totally on trend! It is the fine detail of the Hex collection that really sets them apart from anything else on the market. Unique details such as the industrial styled handles and hexagonal features on the spout co-ordinate beautifully with latest kitchen trends.

You'll discover brushed brass, brushed nickel or black with styles to suit everyone. Models include a single lever mixer, single lever pull out, dual lever monobloc and single lever professional taps.

Quooker Hot Water Tap

Hot water taps are a great, sustainable investment. Quooker boiling water taps provide instant boiling water which saves you time, money and energy. Instant boiling water means you use only the water you need, when you want it which is great for the environment. With running costs as low as 3p per day you’ll reduce your energy bills too.

New kitchens and those hoping to re-vamp their kitchen this year should consider a hot tap! The Quooker Fusion is an excellent choice. It is available with a modern square or round spout in a number of striking finishes. Choose from gold, black, stainless steel, polished chrome and even patinated copper. It fits into a standard tap hole so can be fitted into an existing kitchen too!

If the Quooker Fusion isn't for you, choosing a different model could not be easier! Quookers new Augmented Reality App enables you to see life size models of Quookers entire tap range, in situ, before you make your final decision. Find out more here.

Caple Mode045 Sink

The Caple, MODE045, Stainless Steel Sink is striking, hardwearing and so stylish. It's available in a selection of trendy colours including stainless steel, copper, gunmetal or gold.

It is a versatile choice as it can be installed as an inset or under-mount sink. This means when it comes to choosing a worktop the choices are endless. Opting for natural materials such as granite, stone and solid wood or cheaper laminate work surfaces are all possible.

It is even possible to add accessories designed for use with the Caple MODE045 sink. These include a wooden chopping board, chrome basket plus colour matching colanders and roll mats. The Caple Ridley and Caple Karns Tap compliment this sink beautifully too.
