Santos Kitchens, the heart of the home

10 / 07 / 2017 —

Specialist media in decor and interior design have made it patently clear—through different projects—that the kitchen cabinets designed by Santos are an excellent option to create kitchens brimming with life, where one can work comfortably, as well as relax and enjoy.

The layout and equipment of a home should meet its users’ real needs. With this idea in mind, the couple behind the renovation featured in Cocinas y Baños decided to give up their flat in the city and move to a house away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Its location—on the outskirts of a small fishing village—was one of the reasons that spurred them on to make the move. Another reason was their need for a custom-designed home, particularly with regard to the kitchen. The room, fitted with the INTRA-E and ARIANE 2 designs by Santos with an Anthracite Grey finish, is arranged around a large central island. Parallel to it is a row combining tall units, base units and glass units. This layout results in a versatile, comfortable and practical kitchen that avoids unnecessary trips to and fro when preparing meals.

The kitchen also plays a central role in the holiday home in Ibiza featured by Nuevo Estilo, ByD Blog y Decoración and Tecnohaus. The room shares an open space on the ground floor with common areas such as the dining room, living room or TV room. It is precisely for this reason that it was necessary to fit it out with units that would provide capacity, organisation and functionality, while suiting the elegant and understated style of the interior design. The chosen design, a White Silk Matt LINE model by Santos with modern and minimalist lines, seamlessly harmonises with the home’s architecture. The cabinets’ finish perfectly blends with the walls, ceilings and worktop, comprising a bright, balanced and harmonious whole.

The owner of the home covered by the magazine Mi Casa loves to cook, but most of all, she enjoys playing host. This is why she sought a spacious and comfortable kitchen that would have ample space for guests to gather around the table. The scullery for eight is the direct response to this need. The units chosen were of the White Seff MINOS-E model by Santos—a minimalist design that, as it is made of melamine, provides high resistance to everyday wear and tear.

Interiores and ByD Blog y Decoración focus on a renovation project that turns the kitchen into the most important area of the house. The owner, a restaurant industry professional, needed a comfortable and practical kitchen, furnished to meet her exacting requirements. The room, fitted with a White Seff LINE-E design by Santos, is arranged around a central island, and the rest of the units are laid out in parallel on both sides of it. In this way, it has been possible to make the most of the floor without overwhelming the design, facilitating organisation and work in the kitchen.

The magazines On Diseño and Interiores, as well as the blogs Arquitectura Viva, Decoesfera, Tecnohaus, ByD Blog y Decoración and Mil Ideas Decoración, have highlighted the latest innovations in kitchen units introduced by Santos to its Silk Black LAH LINEdesign. The reduced-thickness fronts and sides make it possible to create sleeker, more lightweight and elegant cabinets, with less impact on the home’s architecture. The LAH laminate with super matt and anti-fingerprint finish—smooth and pleasant to the touch—endows beauty that is not only seen but felt. The top drawer, made in olive ash, does away with duplicated sides and uses the base as the support for accessories, offering more capacity. The integrated lighting solutions, such as the LED lighting system and Santos’ exclusive LED profile, are attractive, discreet and practical. Overall, the cabinets contribute towards creating a comfortable and interactive space, which responds to current trends and lifestyles.
