Designing Kitchens for Real Life: Tools That Make Cooking Enjoyable

At this time of year, with Christmas entertaining and summer gatherings around the corner, our thoughts naturally turn to kitchens that really support how we live, cook, and gather with friends and family. Great design isn’t just about materials and layout, it’s about creating spaces that feel effortless when you’re preparing meals, hosting, or enjoying everyday life.

One tool we’ve noticed our clients using more and more in their kitchens is the Thermomix TM7. We’ve collaborated with Clelia Dal Col from The Italian Cookroom, who often shares practical tips and guidance for families who enjoy cooking at home.

How the Thermomix Fits into a Modern Kitchen

The beauty of a kitchen isn’t just in its finishings, it’s in how it works. Appliances that streamline everyday tasks can make a huge difference. The Thermomix is a versatile, all-in-one tool that reduces clutter and simplifies cooking, making it a natural fit for both busy family homes and minimal, design-led spaces.

Real-Life Uses We’ve Seen

Our clients use the Thermomix in a variety of ways, depending on lifestyle and kitchen habits:

For Families

It helps manage weeknight meals or festive dinners without overwhelming the kitchen.

For Minimalist Spaces

One appliance can replace several, keeping benches clean and open.

For Home Cooking Enthusiasts

It supports more precise techniques and creative cooking, without taking over the room.
