The last thing you need during the holiday baking rush is to be darting all about the kitchen. You’ve got enough to do, right? Consider an island stocked with your most-used items and add a seasonal touch above (good news: it doubles as storage).

This time of year, it’s all about the baking. But that can also mean lots of hot trays and dishes straight out of the oven. Avoid accidental burns by letting them cool up high on shelving that can handle the heat (bonus points go to that rail for extra storage). You’ll be left with lots of clear counter space!

Let your walls do some work. Just hang a couple of wire trellises and let them stash kitchen tools, holiday decorations and your favourite recipes.

Group activities (like truffle making) require lots of space. And huddling around the stove just won’t cut it sometimes. It’s time for some extra hobs! This induction hob gives you a whole new cooking area and makes it easy to gather around a kitchen island or trolley instead.
