The cooking area in the kitchen of a top chef is one of the most important spaces. Choose the modular cooktop, made up of gas and electric burners with a grill and Teppanyaki option to allow you to cook just like the top Japanese chefs, quickly and healthily.

A properly planning the lighting in your kitchen will help you to work more comfortably, safely and efficiently. Aim for your overall lighting to be even and consistent so that you can properly see all the corners of your kitchen. Also position ambient light sources and points in every specific area, over the cooking area, the space intended for the office and, specifically, the countertop. This way, you will be able to handle your food with complete comfort and safety.

Use LED light sources: they consume less energy, reduce heat emissions and you can integrate them under cabinets, in strips, and inside your drawers. You can also install an automated system so that the light turns on when you open the door of the cabinet, cupboard or drawer.

4. Water area

In professional kitchens, sinks are vitally important. Therefore, if you are thinking about designing a space with these professional characteristics, it is worth it to install a large piece. If you have enough space and an island, you can install two sinks, one close to the cooking area, ideal for filling up pots or washing food, and another next to the dishwasher to be able to rinse kitchen utensils.

With Silestone quartz countertop, you can create a feeling of seamless continuity by choosing the Integrity sinks, manufactured with the same material. The Integrity XL model is available in 43.5x67x21 centimeters, perfect for a single drainer sink. Its large design is ideal to add continuity to your kitchen and turn it into a completely integrated extension of your countertop.

5. Multifunctional luxury faucets

For a professional style kitchen, you need a faucet with professional functionality. Removable faucets have become the best option to design a kitchen just like the kitchens of the top chefs. The removable faucet handles, with jet and shower systems, are very comfortable and efficient when filling up large containers and to properly wash foods.

By choosing this model, you will avoid having to wait for the water to boil to cook your vegetables or pasta, quickly, saving electricity or gas consumption.

6. Perfectly organized cabinets and drawers

Do you think the kitchen of a top chef has cabinets and drawers that are always unorganized?

All you have to do is properly plan the inside of the cabinets and drawers to have everything at hand. Try to place the things you often use in the upper part of the base units and the larger accessories and utensils in the lower area. The large drawers under the cooktop are very practical to store pots and pans, and to be able to easily reach them when you need to.

7. Customized recycling and garbage system

Forget about a traditional garbage can and set aside a specific space to place a recycling system with different bins for different wastes: organic, plastic and glass.

If you want your kitchen to be perfect, you can also place an opening with cover in the countertop to easily dispose of garbage.

8. A cellar in the kitchen

If you love good wines and you like to drink them at their ideal temperature (between 5 and 8 ?C) and proper humidity, you can install a small wine bar to always enjoy them in their perfect state.

A wine cabinet will let you store the bottles that you don't finish in proper conditions. Most of the models have dispenser nozzle so that you can also serve glasses of wine just like they do in the best restaurants.

9. Spices always at hand

A good chef always has a wide variety of spice jars in their kitchen, and having these jars well organized will help you execute any recipe. Install a specific dispenser module for spices or sauces, or install a bar with a hanging spice rack. You can use this type of bar to hang other utensils, such as a skimmer spoon, sauce pan, etc.
