Kitchen usage

The majority of people underestimate the amount of work and time spent in the kitchen.
During the lifetime of a kitchen you carry out millions of actions and movements, carry several tons in weight and will have walked further than Lands End to John O'Groats. Altogether you spend on average one month a year in the kitchen.

Would you believe that...
  • you walk to and from the table more than 30 times a day?
  • drawers, pull-outs and doors are opened and closed more than 80 times per day?
  • more than 50 activities such as slicing, preparing a salad, buttering bread are carried out each day?


For many families, the kitchen is the centre of daily life. This is where most of their time is spent. That's why people want a kitchen to be an inviting place for both friends and family.

Nowadays there is not enough focus on the kitchen user
Too often, design and visual aspects are rated higher than function. In addition, many "less expensive" products are the focus since price is a factor. However, with this in mind think about the 20-year lifespan of your kitchen and don't sacrifice the comfort and ergonomic aspects of your new kitchen.

More comfort through quiet and easy closing
Today's new standard not only includes noise dampening, but also an emotional experience when closing drawers and pull-outs. Whether narrow, light drawers or wide, heavy pull-outs - it doesn't matter: BLUMOTION always guarantees silent and effortless operation.
