The Quooker Tap

Posted on 20 September 2022 by mainboard

Introducing Quooker, the tap that does it all
Quooker is a revolutionary kitchen tap that gives you instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water at the touch of a button. It’s the perfect way to save time and energy in the kitchen, and it’s also a great way to improve your health and well-being.

How does it work?

Quooker consists of a kitchen tap on your worktop and a tank in your kitchen cupboard. The tank is filled with filtered water and heated to 100 degrees Celsius. When you turn on the tap, you can choose between boiling, chilled, or sparkling water.

Why choose Quooker?

There are many reasons to choose Quooker, including:

Convenience: Quooker gives you instant access to boiling, chilled, and sparkling water, so you can make a cup of tea, cook pasta, or fill a water bottle in seconds.
Health benefits: Drinking boiled water will help to kill harmful bacteria and improve your immune system. Chilled water is refreshing and hydrating, and sparkling water can help to improve digestion.
Style: Quooker is available in a variety of finishes to match any kitchen décor.

Which Quooker is right for you?

There are two different types of Quooker taps available:

3-in-1 tap: This tap gives you access to boiling, chilled, and sparkling water.
Boiling-water tap: This tap only gives you access to boiling water.

The best way to choose the right Quooker tap for you is to consider your needs and budget. If you want the convenience of having all three types of water at your fingertips, then the 3-in-1 tap is the perfect choice. If you’re on a budget or only need boiling water, then the boiling-water tap is a great option. Contact us now to find the right tap for you.

5 Factors to Consider When Choosing a Design for your Kitchen

Posted on 20 September 2022 by mainboard

For many people, the kitchen is the heart of the home. Regardless of your culinary skills, it’s likely to be a room that you use every single day for cooking, eating, socialising, and perhaps even working or helping the kids with their homework. That’s why it is important to get the interior design of your kitchen right.

Here at William Cope, we work with you to turn your dream kitchen into a reality. To help us understand your vision a little better and ensure we create the perfect space for your needs, here are five factors to take into consideration when choosing your interior design.

1. How much space you have

One issue that has a big impact on what sort of design will best suit your kitchen is how much physical space you have. For example, if you have a long and narrow galley kitchen, then a large kitchen island is not going to be the most appropriate choice. Taking size into account from the very beginning ensures you won’t be disappointed by falling in love with a kitchen style you don’t have room for.

2. What you use the kitchen for

Another important step is to take some time and think about exactly what you use your kitchen for – or what you want to be able to use it for. This includes factors such as how much cooking you like to do, whether you also eat in the kitchen or prefer to use a separate dining room, and whether your kitchen doubles as a home office or hobby space. It’s also helpful to consider where the main thoroughfares are, and how child-friendly you need the kitchen to be. Knowing this helps us to design a space that truly ticks all of your boxes.

3. Theme

One of the enjoyable aspects of choosing a kitchen design is thinking about what sort of theme you would prefer. For instance, are you hoping for a sleek minimalist space, a modern industrial look, a homely countryside atmosphere, or a kitchen with a relaxed Mediterranean vibe? Consider what matches your personality and the rest of your home decor, and we’ll work to execute your vision.

4. Colour scheme

Even if you don’t want to go all out with a theme, colour is a key aspect of kitchen design. As a rough guide, small spaces tend to do better with light colour schemes, while larger kitchens that have a lot of natural light can afford to go darker. Whether you prefer bold reds, regal purples, or natural greens and blues, we can create a customised kitchen space you’ll love.

5. Storage solutions

Kitchens tend to require a lot of storage space for food and drink, cookware, tableware, and so on – especially if you enjoy cooking at home a lot. No matter how large your kitchen is, we can come up with innovative solutions to all your storage needs. Whether you want to maximise space with floor-to-ceiling cupboards, use glass-fronted cabinets to display beautiful glassware, or install open shelving for easy access, there’s a practical option to suit you.

If you’re looking for a kitchen interior designer to upgrade your cooking space, get in touch with us for a free consultation. We’ll combine our passion and experience to create a stylish and functional space that perfectly meets your needs. We look forward to hearing from you!

Why Good Design is Vital for Your Home Office

Posted on 20 September 2022 by mainboard

With more and more of us now working from home on a permanent basis, good home office design has never been so important. Having a separate space where you can concentrate on your job is key for several different reasons, and here at William Cope, we’ll work to design an office area that perfectly suits your individual needs and the interior of your home.

Here are just some of the ways in which an expertly designed home office can be advantageous for you.

It Boosts Your Productivity

Your physical environment has an enormous impact on how productive you are during work hours. Some aspects of this are obvious, such as noise levels and the presence of other distractions, but design plays a key role too. As an example, the colours that you use and the decor you surround yourself with can have an impact on your mood and how productive you are. In addition, having a separate space dedicated solely to work helps you to get in a productive mindset every time you sit down there. A professionally designed home office enables you to maximise the amount you get done during work hours, which in turn makes it easier to switch off at the end of the day and enjoy your downtime.

It Enhances Your Creativity

The space in which you work can also have an effect on how creative you are. Even something as basic as higher ceilings have been shown to help us think more creatively. Exposure to nature is also key, so a home office design that incorporates houseplants or views of your garden can help to spark those crucial lightbulb moments. Once again, colour plays a part here, and blue, in particular, is thought to inspire creative thinking.

It Ensures You’re Comfortable

If you have a job that involves being at your desk all day, comfort is vital – and hunching over a laptop on the sofa is a recipe for disaster. Having an ergonomic setup will help you to avoid backache, neck pain, and other health complaints that are common among office workers. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a proper desk and supportive chair, but a professionally designed space can also take into account factors such as natural lighting that will help to reduce the risk of eye strain. Put in the effort now, and your future self will thank you!

It Adds Practicality

Lastly, a professionally designed home office can maximise the practicality of your workspace. Clutter is one of the enemies of both productivity and creativity, so by incorporating clever storage options in your office space, you can enjoy a multitude of benefits. Whether you need pens and paper to hand, a whiteboard for idea generation, document storage space, or a multi-screen computer setup, we can come up with innovative solutions to all your individual needs and make the most of the space you have available.
