Blum kitchen inspirations

6 The electric motion support system has been employed throughout the kitchen and ideally supports the trend towards sleek, touch-to-open fronts. Even the extra wide pull-outs that are fully laden with crates of drinks glide open at a single touch. "If you know exactly where everything goes, tidying up your kitchen is quick and easy," says Melanie with a big smile. The couple was so enthusiastic about their new freedom of movement that they even had their refrigerator retrofitted with SERVO-DRIVE flex for handle-less fronts. There is an extra switch for turning off SERVO-DRIVE if you want to – for instance for cleaning. "Typical Blum," says Marco. "The products are well thought out and top in terms of quality." The slim and clear-cut design of the LEGRABOX drawers (made of stainless steel with anti-fingerprint coating) greatly contributes to the fine synergy of aesthetics and functionality. The matching AMBIA-LINE inner dividing system organises interiors beautifully. "Melanie loved the elegant, clear-cut design from the start. And I had to have the practical knife holder and film/foil dispenser," he adds. There’s just one question that remains to be answered whilst Melanie serves the hearty quiche with crispy lettuce. Did either of them have to lower their expecta- tions? "No, no," the couple reassures us. All their ideas and wishes have been implemented to the full in their new kitchen. "Melanie’s sense of aesthetics and my affinity for functionality do not exclude each other. On the contrary, our requirements complement one another to produce a perfect kitchen," sums up Marco. "We’re simply an unbeatable team!" confirms Melanie. kitchen inspirations |  beautiful & practical
