Your new home should not only be a joy to behold, it also needs to function efficiently and, for that, you need to think about practical inclusions for the interior. Obviously one area that needs to function well is the kitchen, but have you considered other areas such as the bathroom, living room, bedroom and walk-in wardrobe areas?

Luckily for today’s homeowners, there is a wealth of ideas to help the interior of your home be as practical, and as easy to use, as possible. In the kitchen, for example, look for space to include as many drawers as possible – with full extension runners to help make access to contents so much easier. Drawers can also be fitted with soft-close mechanisms to protect the contents as well as minimise noise from slamming.

Whether you chose a pull-out pantry or cupboard style, it can be fitted out to keep all your often-used items close to hand while clear drawer sides make it simple to see the contents and choose what you need. For a sleek, contemporary look handle-less drawers and cupboards are the most consistent design trend. Push-to-open catches and electronic opening systems provide instant access, even if your hands are full.

In the bedroom or wardrobe, look for full-height sliding doors that are electronically operated to simply glide open and close with the very lightest of touches. Doors that open and fold away ensure the interior is easy to view so you can select the item you want.

Look for ways to incorporate drawers in your living room as well – particularly those with inner drawers that help use all the space inside and provide excellent storage for all your household items. You should only choose full-extension runners here, to ensure all contents are easily accessible and a soft-close option is perfect for these drawers.
