Key Takeaways
When it comes to designing your kitchen, don't be afraid to splurge on high-quality materials that'll stand the test of time - think solid wood or top-notch countertops.
The Vago pocket door system from Blum is a game-changer. It's all about seamless integration. With this system, you'll get a sleek, modern look that'll make your kitchen feel like a luxury oasis.
When you're designing your kitchen, remember that functionality should be at the forefront of your mind. A kitchen that's both beautiful and functional is a recipe for success. And let's be real, who doesn't love a kitchen that makes cooking and cleaning a breeze? That's exactly what Blum's products are designed to deliver - ease of use and practicality.
Best Moments
“So, if we go right back to the start, 1952 Blum was created by a guy called Julius Blum, Blacksmith by trade. And his first ever product was a horseshoe stud. So completely different to what we're doing now.”
"I always recommend if you're going for anything small to go for the high sides. Otherwise you're having Tupperware fall out on the floor, which we do, and if you have a full box, it increases the drawer capacity by about 55%.”
“In our factories when you go to Austria, there's an opportunity for the products to go through 27,000 different checks as it goes from a flat piece of steel to a fully functioning product.”
