White kitchens by Santos: designs that adapt to their users’ lifestyle

14 / 06 / 2017 —

First and foremost, a kitchen should adapt to its users’ lifestyle. Santos kitchen cabinets stand out for their modern and minimalist design—with their timeless, clean lines—as well as their functionality, providing solutions that adapt to each specific need. A reality that is reflected by several articles featured by specialist media in decor and interior design.

Casa Viva devotes an extensive article on the complete renovation of a two-storey house, with the spotlight on the kitchen. On the one hand, it was a must for the room to have large work surfaces and high-performance equipment, per the requirements of the owner—a professional in the restaurant industry. And on the other hand, comfortable and pleasant spaces were also of the utmost importance to receive regular visits from family and friends. The project managed to exceed all their expectations. Natural light streaming into the kitchen is further enhanced by the white units—a White Seff LINE-E design by Santos. In the centre of the room is a large island, with a wide extended worktop that can be used as a counter for breakfasts and quick meals. Adjoining the island is a solid oak table, where guests can enjoy a delicious meal with fantastic views of the garden.

In one of its entries, the blog Tecnohaus features a kitchen that is the perfect combination of design, ergonomics and elegance to create a room in keeping with the rest of the home—seamlessly blending into it while adapting to the owners’ needs and making daily life so much easier for them. To achieve this, it eschews all superfluous elements, leaving everything to the simple beauty of the units designed by Santos. The absence of visual barriers fosters interaction among users, who can share moments together even when they are not in the same area. White predominates in the interior design, creating a light atmosphere that is extremely pleasant to work in and to get away from daily routine.

Blog y Arquitectura takes a look at two kitchens fitted with cabinets by the Santos brand. The first makes use of a LINE-L design in white which—with its plain fronts and handle-less designs—creates a space characterised by clear and unobstructed lines. The neutral tones of the units make it possible for the kitchen to seamlessly blend into other areas of the house, fulfilling one of its users’ main prerequisites.

For the second kitchen, the owners wanted a room where they could work as a team, as well as get together with their family and friends to enjoy good company. The Snow White INTRA-L design by Santos provided the perfect solution for their needs. Thus, the white fronts—plain and handle-less—contribute towards creating a light and soothing atmosphere which is infinitely inviting. In contrast, the island layout provides a larger preparation area, where several people can work all at the same time without stepping on each other’s toes.

Interiores Minimalistas and Hola! visit a holiday home in which the kitchen plays a central role, opening out to common areas such as the dining room or living room. The White Seff MINOS-E model by Santos was used to fit it out. It is a design with clean lines that—aside from providing capacity, organisation and functionality—naturally blends into the interior design of the house, defined by an elegant pragmatism with neutral shapes and tones. The white silk matt finish of the cabinets perfectly blends with the white walls, ceilings and worktop, comprising a bright and balanced whole.

In one of the renovation projects featured by Mi Casa, the home owner wanted a spacious and comfortable kitchen which would make work easier and which, at the same time, would provide an area where guests could gather around the table. The spacious scullery for eight is the direct response to this need. The units chosen were of the White Seff MINOS-E model by Santos—a design in melamine that provides high resistance to everyday wear and tear. The light colour of their fronts adds brightness, and their laminated finish makes cleaning up a snap.

Mi Casa also takes a look at a second project, where the kitchen opens out to the living room directly through an arch which—without blocking the field of vision—delineates the work and scullery areas. The units—of the White Seff LINE-E design  by Santos—are laid out in a U around a central island that is both a work surface and scullery table, offering the greatest versatility in the least amount of space. The result is a room with a distinctively Mediterranean character, practical, open, bright and very cosy.
