As with many things in life, it is the small, often overlooked aspects of kitchen design that make all the difference.

While the style you choose will reflect your personality, equally telling is your choice of interior hardware, says Michael Hawkins, managing director of Blum New Zealand.

"The bones of a kitchen are the joinery and hardware get these two aspects right and you will have a kitchen that functions perfectly throughout its lifetime.

"Particular consideration must be given to the drawer mechanisms and hinges. You really will notice the difference between the quality items such as those produced by Blum and the cheaper imports available, so try before you buy."

One of the reasons Blum is recognised as a leader in hardware manufacture is due to the company's rigorous testing of all of its products.

"Blum has an entire section devoted to testing, and prides itself on the lifetime warranty included with each product due to this level of diligence," says Hawkins.
