Effortless Renovations Using Deluxe Kitchen Units for Small Spaces

Given the amount of time spent in the kitchen, it is the one room in a house that deserves the best. However, renovations can cost a pretty dime or two. Keeping within a limited budget and still being able to give the room the make-over it deserves need not be an expensive endeavour. Before we get into the secrets of kitchen renovations possible for small spaces because of our compact, but luxuriously elegant units, let us consider why kitchen renovations are almost always a priority with home improvements in South Africa.

 

Why Kitchen Renovations – Even for Smaller Spaces?

It is the place where memories are made. Preparing food can be therapeutic if done in a lovely setting where the taps work, the counters are neat, and the space well utilised. In smaller apartments, this may not be the case. However, it is achievable when space is used right while essentials, such as taps, sinks, and cupboards should be in good working order. With these in place, it becomes a space where food preparation transforms from a chore to a delightful culinary journey. Here is why kitchen renovations, regardless of the home size, make a difference for the better:

 

Create Functional Spaces to Improve Efficiency

An uncoordinated layout creates confusion. It makes even the simplest of tasks difficult. Renovations make it possible to change awkward layouts to allow for minimal movement from the basin to the stove and the cupboards in small spaces. If you do not have plenty floor space, then minimising the need for people to walk from one work unit to another makes the difference between enjoying cooking and hating every moment of it.

 

Elevate the Space to Meet Your Usage Needs

Renovations are not necessary only to improve aesthetics. Perhaps the layout, storage space, and the functionalities of the kitchen no longer serve your needs. If that is the case, you will appreciate our compact stylish units even more.

 

Remodel to Meet Your Style Requirements

Renovations provide the means to create stylish kitchen spaces, fit for modern lifestyles. If the style is so yesterday, then the modern units available from us will certainly spruce up the interior to bring it into the 21^st century.

 

Increase Property Value

One of the quickest ways to improve the value of a property is to remodel the kitchen and bathroom. It has been proven over and over that these spaces are often the best-selling points of homes. If you want to up the chances of getting your property sold quickly in a depressed economy, then renovations with affordable, but elegant kitchen units should be your first priority.

 

Replace Energy-Hungry with Energy-Efficient

Electricity costs money. It is a monthly expense that most people budget for, simply because they have to and never with a smile. If it is at all possible to reduce energy usage for savings, then renovations with energy-efficiency in mind can do the trick. You get the chance to discard old and energy inefficient equipment with our modern all-in-one kitchen units to save space and electricity usage.

 

How Do You Make the Most of Kitchen Renovations for Small Spaces?

No doubt, you have ample reasons to consider the value of renovations, but what about homes with small spaces? Fortunately, we specialise in compact designs. That said, compact does not mean having to compromise on quality and functionality. Instead, it means getting more value and functionality with the best use of space. The units in our repertoire feature modern designs suitable even for the tiny house movement. With such in mind, every unit has the bells and whistles for optimal functionality and style without a hefty price tag attached to it. Let us look at our product stable of kitchen units, perfectly suited for small spaces.

 

Melamine Sink Unit

Measuring 900 mm x 460 mm, with a height of 855 mm, this melamine unit comes with a stainless steel sink top single bowl, with a spacious board for dish draining. The stainless steel top creates a hygienic environment that is rust-proof and easy to clean. The unit comes with two pillar cock taps, which are fixed to the bowl top. It features a subtle beauty with its white melamine cupboard, ensuring it fits the modern cooking space. It also comes with a convenient cupboard beneath, enclosed with two hinged doors. The bottom shelf is fixed while the top one can be adjusted to meet your storage requirements. It also includes the waste, trap, and plug. If you want a turnkey solution to replace an old sink and work area, then this is the compact unit that provides everything in one.

 

Steel Sink Unit

Favour the idea of steel above melamine? We cater to both tastes with the exceptionally durable steel unit that features sliding doors instead of the hinged doors. If space saving is the ultimate concern, then this is the solution. It has the same dimensions and neat white colour of the melamine sink unit.

 

Double Bowl Sink Unit with Melamine Finishes

Measuring 1500 mm x 500 mm, the stainless steel sink top offers a rust-free and spacious wash and dry area. It is 850 mm high. We added a stylish swivel mixer with a goose-neck spout that serves both bowls. It also comes with the necessary waste, plugs, and trap. With a spacious three-door cupboard, featuring hinged doors and a drawer for utensils, this is a deluxe unit suitable for the slightly larger kitchen. The top shelf in the cupboard is adjustable in height for your convenience.

 

Double Bowl Sink Unit Measuring 1200 mm for Smaller Spaces

If you want the same functionality, but do not have the space for the deluxe double sink unit, consider our 1200 mm x 600 mm unit. It has a double bowl drop-in sink, draining board, and swivel mixer. The unit is 930 mm high and comes with a melamine cupboard and adjustable middle shelving. Although more compact in design, it still features the convenient drawer to optimise space usage.

 

Getting More Functionality with Our Stove, Sink, and Fridge Mini-Unit

Want it all together? We offer you two immaculate finishes. Choose between the mahogany or the white melamine finish to fit your kitchen interior. It comes with a 1000 mm x 600 mm stainless steel top and drainage board. The unit features a single bowl, with the option of left- or right-hand placement. The bowl has a stylish swivel goose-neck spout. The unit is 930 mm in height. It comes with the standard waste, plug, and trap.

Apart from the neat melamine cupboard with adjustable middle shelving, this unit includes either a 120 l Defy or similar bar fridge with a convenient top freezer section, or any of the combinations below to meet your appliance requirements:

• Sink and fridge with no stove
• Stove and sink with no fridge
• Sink unit only
• Fridge unit without a stove or sink

 

With these combinations, we ensure your specific all-in-one kitchen unit needs can be met. These combination units make kitchen renovations for smaller spaces affordable and hassle-free.

 

Maxi Unit for a Larger Kitchen

Have more space? Consider the maxi unit that is 1500 mm x 600 mm and 930 mm in height. It comes with a draining board and sink on the one side and a convenient electric plug-in two-plate stove on the other end. The now familiar goose-neck swivel tap is included. It also comes with the melamine cupboard, featuring hinged doors and adjustable middle shelving. The unit has a Defy or similar bar fridge that includes a freezer section. You can also opt for a sink and stove without a fridge. If you want the same functionality, but need something that can fit into a smaller space, consider going more compact with the smaller variant of 1400 mm x 600 mm.

 

Epitome of Luxury with The Stove, Sink, Fridge, and Oven Maxi Unit

We have left this combination until last because once you have seen it, you may even decide to enlarge your kitchen to fit this gorgeous unit. The white melamine unit stainless steel top with a single end bowl and drainage board, measures 1500 mm x 600 mm with a height of 930 mm. It comes with an electric plug-in two-plate stove, a Midea 23 litre toaster oven, and melamine cupboard with two hinged doors and adjustable middle shelving. It also includes a 120 l Defy or similar bar fridge with a freezer section. The toaster oven includes rotisserie, convection, and baking functionalities. It is all the luxury you can want in your kitchen in a single unit. If you prefer, you can have it with a sink, oven, and stove without the fridge.

Double Bowl Stainless Steel Sink Units and Other Ways to Save Kitchen Space

Almost all cooking queens, baking masters, entertainers, and those with a love for food dream of having a magnificent, enormous, country-style, or ultra-modern kitchen, but not everyone has that luxury. However, by making use of these organisation tips, storage tactics, and strategically purchasing the right pieces, such as a double bowl sink unit, we can imitate the idea. Do not allow yourself, your family, and friends to get depressed and settle for less? Follow these tips to plan your kitchen properly:

• Start by placing your double bowl sink unit, facing a window or an open-plan dining area.
• Draw a rough sketch of the layout to get a clear picture of what it will look like and where to make changes if necessary.
• Avoid traffic jams by keeping just the right amount of space between counters and other kitchen furniture.
• Your stove should be placed against an exterior wall to ensure a ventilation system is possible and affordable to install.
• Remember the importance of cupboards and storage, as counter space can always be maximised through pull-out prep stations.

Organising to Maximise Storage Space

For all tableware, you can allocate a deep cupboard and make use of rectangular containers to keep it simple and neat. These can serve as drawers that will not cost you a fortune, and still look stylish at the same time. By simply using a plank of the same material, you can split shelves into separate parts. This will eliminate space wastage of unused areas. It could potentially save you from having to get extra cabinets and losing more of the floor area. The trick to imitating a large fancy kitchen is to avoid cluttering up the room. By properly planning storage and organising accordingly, you solve this issue.

Some other useful purchases include drawer dividers, magnetic knife strips, over sink dish racks, and spice racks. Do not forget to install vertical cupboards for brooms, mops, and other tall items, also available from our comprehensive product stable of kitchen units.

Cabinet doors can also serve as storage solutions, with the help of hooks and rods to hang utensils, paper towels, and more. When you purchase a kitchen island, be sure to look for one that has shelving or cupboards to store cookbooks, mixers, blenders, and other appliances.

Often, open areas above counters and appliances go unused. These are not to be forgotten, as you can definitely save more space by hanging utensils, adding shelves, and utilising the given areas.

For Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s, and other holiday crockery and table décor, consider baskets and place them at the highest spots above all cabinet units. They do not need to be easily reachable, as you only use these once a year. You can always invest in a small step ladder if you do need to collect something higher up. Other creative ways to keep things organised in your kitchen include:

• Blackboards can assist you to plan out meals, allocate chores and duties, and leave messages without smothering the fridge with notes.
• New food goes in the back and old food in the front to make sure products do not go off and end up in the trash, costing you an arm and a leg.
• Combination stainless steel double sink units can save floor space and are already designed in a way to help with the organisation of the kitchen.
• Narrow spots between fridges or other large furniture and appliances can be perfect for pull-out shelves where spice containers, cans, and other food can be stored.
• If you are set on open shelving, then perhaps you should colour code the items, as it will look less like clutter and more like a style choice.
• Consider the installation of combination stainless steel sink units that include fridges or stoves to save more space.

That dream-like kitchen is a definite possibility if you focus on perfecting the layout of your workspace. Thus, getting a stainless-steel double bowl sink unit from the start is better than struggling with a single bowl sink unit and having to upgrade later anyway. Think ahead and save yourself from paying for expensive changes in the future. That said, if the space is exceptionally limited, such as can be the case in a granny flat or a compact family dwelling, our single bowl stainless steel sinks with fridges, cabinets, and stoves are the perfect solutions.

Available Kitchen Units

Aside from the already noted double bowl sink unit, there are many options available to fill the empty new kitchen that you have. From a combination stove and stainless-steel sink to stove, sink, and fridge units, your needs are met with our range of stylish, but affordable, compact units. The only question now is which unit will fit your kitchen layout and accommodate your budget? Below are some of the options that we have available:

• Mini and maxi stove, sink, and fridge units
• Gas hob and sink combination sets
• Single or double sink stand-alone units
• Stove, sink, fridge, and oven combos

Our Double Bowl Sink Unit

With this particular set, you can choose between two sizes. We supply 1,2 m and 1,5 m lengths. Both pieces feature stainless steel sinks, as well as melamine cupboards. Each of these units is fitted with three doors and one drawer to enhance storage ability and make preparation for all your dishwashing and cleaning needs.

The larger of the two is better suited to big families or those who have many dishes to do at once, because the other has a smaller area for drying and packing. With the swivel heads on their taps, it is easy to do the dishes, as you can adjust the tap to be out of the way. The double bowl and sink unit is a classic piece that can go with any kitchen and make daily chores less of a hassle.

Single Units for the Bachelor

Choose between stainless steel or melamine cupboards. The two options here are of the same size. The sinks on both units are made from stainless steel. This is a suitable option for those living alone or with few dishes to wash.

The single bowl stainless steel units come with fixed pillar taps and no drawers. Although smaller in stature, these units are still very useful in homes, bars, or studio apartments. No need to purchase a large piece if this one is exactly right for your house and budget.

Bigger Can Sometimes be Better

Of course, the combos available are a bit more sizeable, and you might wonder if your kitchen is big enough for these. The answer is yes, as these can actually be the pieces that save the most space.

With our gas hob and sink unit, you do not need multiple windows, as you can place both your dishwashing area and cooking spot in front of the same view. If you are still not satisfied, then a combination with a fridge installed is also available to make it even more economical. You get the satisfaction of choosing whether the wash station should be on the right or left and can enjoy this marvellous unit the way you want to.

The Ultimate All-In-One

Lastly, there is an even more enticing choice for you, which is a combination unit with all your kitchen needs added. It includes a fridge, freezer section, sink, and oven, as well as a small two-plate stove. Measuring 150 by 60 cm with a height of 93 cm, it does not take up all that much floor area.

If you want to fit a guest flat with a compact kitchen, then this is how you do it. The oven is small, but does have baking, convection, and other functions. A bar size fridge with a freezer section sits snugly in the middle of the unit. If you so decide, then you can skip out on the bar fridge to add your own full size one to your kitchen. If you have been pondering the idea of ample countertop and prep areas, then this is one way you can surely make it happen. After all, that is usually what makes a kitchen more comfortable than others.

Final Thoughts

By simply choosing the correct combination of all the necessary products, you can organise everything in no time. The quicker you start drawing that layout plan, the sooner you can create a functional and stylish kitchen. No house is complete without a fantastic kitchen to go with it, and we do not disappoint with our range of stainless-steel double and single bowl sink and combination units.

Cost-Efficient Space Saving Kitchen Solutions for South Africans

Whether you have a large room or a small one to work with, a kitchen can never feel too spacious. However, it can quickly feel claustrophobic and turn into a real mess because you do not have enough space. Finding the right kitchen sink supplier will aid you in designing and planning the layout. It all depends on how much time you spend in the kitchen and what you perceive as the most important elements.

The first step is to find a supplier that can provide you with a space-saving solution, such as a compact sink unit. We stock everything from single- to double-bowl units and combination cupboards with sinks and stoves.

Here are some space-saving ideas to help you build the space you so desire:

• Consider adding a pegboard to your wall, as it can become a magnificent place to hang almost anything, from a spatula to a potted plant.
• If you absolutely must have an island or more counter space, why not get a fold-up table or install a pull-out one?
• Buy a combination unit from us as your trusted supplier to ensure coherency and maybe save a few centimetres on the floor area.

 

A Touch of Style

Deciding the overall style can take forever, but by working with a few options at your kitchen unit supplier, you might just pick one immediately. Décor items, such as paintings, bar stools, rugs, or centrepieces can be easily found in whichever colour you prefer. The difficult thing is finding countertops, multi-units, and stove units in specific shades. However, if you have already found solutions from GEZA as the supplier of your choice, you can start thinking of the extras.

Eliminate the storage issue with one of our elegant cabinet storage units. It comes with workspace, top shelving, and cupboards below. You can always combine the storage and workspace with a kitchen sink. The GEZA stove, oven, sink, and fridge unit is as compact and functional as it gets. The double bowl unit includes cupboards beneath.

We offer steel and melamine cupboards with stainless steel sink-tops installed. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. You also have the choice of picking between the different colours available.

With the right solutions, any dream is attainable. Leave no plate unturned in finding the sink or storage unit you need. View our range of products and call on us as your trusted kitchen furnishings supplier to help with the selection of units that fit your space requirements.

How to Renovate Like a Pro: Make the Most with Affordable Kitchen Units for Sale

Is your kitchen more than just a place for cooking? Do you enjoy spending hours socialising while preparing dinner? The kitchen, even if small, can easily be the best spot in the house for all kinds of activities.

For instance, having a small breakfast nook can help to chase away the blues when having to prepare a quick meal at five in the morning. It can even help you save time and effort because you don’t need to set a large table and clean it afterwards. Of course, if in a bachelor or retirement unit, there may not be enough space for a large table. In this instance, every possible way to save space without compromising on functionality is a bonus.

When you decide on the layout, pay attention to functionality to ensure your happiness in the long run. A stove and sink as part of our kitchen units for sale can maximise space if you live in an apartment, granny flat, or one of the affordable government housing units.

 

Tips to Assist You in the Process

Aesthetics and functionality are equally important when it comes to the design of the kitchen. With our stove and sink units for sale, you can attain an aesthetically pleasing, yet, highly functional kitchen on a budget and in a small space. We offer affordable, modern units for sale to fit cosy spaces.

Therefore, making use of stunning, but functional kitchen units are of the utmost importance. Take, for example, our stove and sink units for sale. The units come in two gorgeous tones, including mahogany or white melamine, fitted with a two-shelved cupboard, one shelf being adjustable. Measuring only 100 by 60 cm, these lovely sets don’t take up much floor space either.

With a variety of kitchen units for sale at affordable prices, you’re sure to find a piece suited to your specific needs. With pricing already in your favour, let’s move on to inspirational ideas.

 

Helpful Tips for Creating that Classy Kitchen You Desire:

These nine tips are sure to be a hit for any kitchen:

1. Wider pathways cause less friction.
2. If space allows, fit an island once you have decided on the purpose.
3. Plan recycling properly.
4. Invest in multi-plugs.
5. Maximise storage space.
6. Get the lights right to create perfect ambience.
7. Remember to add a good ventilation system.
8. Hide the dustbin in an easily accessible spot.
9. Add workspace.

 

1. The Direction of the Flow

Try to make walkways a minimum of 92-cm wide so that anyone, big or small can easily fit through. This will also make a big difference if you have to move new furniture in or out. The areas for cooking should have even wider paths for comfort.

If at all possible, you should avoid placing the stove in a spot where others might walk by frequently. This is particularly true with little ones or pets around. You don’t want hot oil spilling because of someone bumping into your legs. Think of appliances that family members might still use while you’re busy preparing the food. Place those items within easy reach for use without the devices being in your way.

With the compact design of our kitchen units for sale at low prices, you can easily fit a stove and sink unit in a small area and have enough space available to add a small corner table and cupboards for storage.

 

2. Islands or Breakfast Nooks

If ever there is a feature that gets used for almost everything, then it is a kitchen island. Some like to chop on it; others enjoy baking. Many use it to double up as workspace and a dining area. If your flat or home is exceptionally cosy, consider the kitchen island as a space-saving rather than space-filling design. It can become the work area, a place where kids can make their own sandwiches and the area where you can put an appliance.

 

3. Support the Green Movement

With recycling becoming more popular each year, it is almost like a taboo not to be part of the movement. Keeping the environment clean and healthy is an act that benefits everyone, animals, plants, and humans alike. Thus, we all try our best to contribute to this, but sometimes fail to do so due to poor recycling methods. If you want to be eco-friendly or just store some used plastic and newspapers for crafts, you should make it easy for yourself. Allocate a cupboard in the kitchen for this, and place a few containers with labels to separate your materials from each other. Then you can find what you’re looking for with ease.

Even if working with limited space as may be the case in a granny or bachelor flat, government house or student flat, you can make enough space for the recycle bin. Simply do so by installing one of our compact kitchen sink and stove units. These are for sale at prices that allow for bulk installation at retirement or townhouse complexes and government subsidised homes.

 

4. Add a Multi-Plug to Save Space

Multi-plugs can come in handy when you want to switch on more than one appliance at a time and have limited power to connect sockets. If you are afraid of getting the outlets wet because of the nature of a kitchen, you can always hide them in cupboards for safety. This will also make it easier to repaint when required.

 

5. Organise Creatively

When you think about a neat house, what do you picture? Items all over, stacked on tables, boxes and crates in every corner? Certainly not. A kitchen without enough storage will never be chic because you’ll always have way too many objects lying around. A good way to sort this problem is by shopping for combination units for sale. These sometimes offer additional packing areas. Our sink, cupboard, and stove units take up less space and offer more storage area.

Don’t forget about that empty spot on top of your fridge. There are many ways to add storage without compromising on counter or equipment space. Speaking of fridges, our stove, sink, and fridge unit is a perfect example of maximising the functionality of a small kitchen. The unit comes with a single cupboard and the small fridge space. You can thus have the important luxuries without such taking up too much space.

 

6. Is That Green or Yellow Powder?

Consider picking a brighter globe for the kitchen. This will enable you to show off more of the detail in the design. Seeing clearly while handling sharp objects is imperative and can save you a lot of pain. If you are not sure that the ambience will be right with a brighter light,  you can always opt for the warm-tone energy-saving bulbs.

 

7. Fresh Air Helps

No one ever burns the stew on purpose, but it does happen from time to time. That smell when you open the oven, and smoke fills the room is just terrible. Imagine something similar happening and all you have is a tiny window that doesn’t even open completely.

We sometimes don’t have much of a say when it comes to windows and doors, but you can always improve the ventilation with a ceiling or stand-based fan to help with ventilation. Don’t throw out your equipment manuals either, as knowing how the units work, just might be what prevents a disaster.

 

8. Some Skeletons Are Better Left in the Closet

Another good tip for less of a stench is by storing the dustbin in a pull-out cupboard. This way, there is a smaller chance for rotten food becoming an invite for rodents and other pests. You’ll be saving on bug spray and cash by not having to purchase a fancy bin to match the rest of your kitchen. Remember to place it where it won’t be a hassle to take out the trash. As an alternative for a smaller home, have a large bin with a heavy lid just outside the door rather than inside. If possible, place it under the roof to prolong the lifespan of the bin.

 

9. Where Can I Put That?

Lastly, but most importantly, don’t compromise on the workspace. Our units for sale that include the sink and stove sets already save space. This makes it possible to add counter-top areas, even in a small space. You can never have enough unused flat surfaces to work on. After all, that is where you do all the prep work,and most of your appliances take up permanent residence. Having to clear off the whole counter each time you need to start with a different ingredient can take forever. Thus making use of our smaller multi-purpose units for sale to increase space can make all the difference.

9 Kitchen Design Mistakes You Should Avoid – And How to Fix Them if You Face Them.

Kitchen, caboose, or heart of the home – whatever you choose to call it, this is one room that possibly sees the most activity in the house. When most of us think back, the kitchens in our childhood homes stand out as a place of gathering, socialising, and enjoying family and friendly guests. It is where we form some of our strongest sensory memories, like mom’s roast potatoes or that extra slice of birthday cake. Kitchens are the one room that rental agents often spruce up the most before a home showing, sometimes even putting out a pot of coffee or baking bread in the oven to coax potential buyers into feeling at home.

Here at GEZA, we specialise in innovative kitchen unit solutions for large and small properties, and we know a thing or two about interior design and style in this section of the home. Our free-standing kitchen storage units, in particular, are a fantastic addition to any layout. So, if you would like to find out more on which amateur design mistakes to avoid, keep reading.

 

Mistake 1: Underestimating How Much Storage You Need.

Even the homeowner or renter with wall-to-wall cabinets and shelving would still feel as though they don’t have enough storage – it is simply one area of the home that fills up rather quickly. Pantry foods, cookware, cutlery, rarely used appliances, and even just that extensive mug collection can take up more space than what you have to offer. In this department, form always follows function. It may be tempting to try and keep the room as open and minimalistic as possible, but doing so without enough storage solutions will inevitably lead to even more counter clutter. Free-standing kitchen storage units like those in our GEZA line are a far better investment to which one can easily add onto when needed.

 

Mistake 2: Using Trendy Colours.

There is nothing wrong with adding a splash of colour in the form of peel-and-stick tiles, window coverings, or décor items. Having saffron-orange cabinets installed just because the shade is in this season is not the best idea, however. Trends change, and what you thought looked great five years ago might not be what you think looks great (or even good) today. Stick to timeless colours, such as black, white, and wooden themes. For smaller, more compact kitchens, white remains a winner as it creates the illusion of a more expansive space – it’s also a calming colour and remains ultra-easy to spiff up with contrasting décor.

 

Mistake 3: Planning Your Layout Poorly.

Ever heard of a kitchen triangle? Most homeowners haven’t, but it’s a guiding principle for interior designers and architects alike. This concept refers to a working space in which it is easy to move while preparing food and washing up. It follows the theory that the three main areas of work – the sink, the refrigerator, and the cooktop – should form a triangle in their placement. This trinity of essential work areas should also not be placed too far apart, as easy access is key here. Disrupting this triangle with an island or table, for example, slows down the workflow and makes cooking much more of a chore. In this way, smaller kitchens have far more of an advantage as everything is usually within the reach of a single step or two. Here at GEZA, our versatile free-standing units can be moved from one point to another if you feel that your current layout is not working well for you.

 

Mistake 4: Neglecting Your Counter Space.

Your countertops are where the magic happens – it’s where food gets made, it’s where many appliances are stored, and it’s even where you plop the groceries down while unloading your shopping haul. Many homeowners complain they simply don’t have enough counter space and making it a priority from the get-go of your redesign will spare you this issue. Our free-standing kitchen storage line also includes two-drawer, two-door units that offer not only countertop space, but much-needed storage space too.

 

Mistake 5: Forgetting Essential Ventilation.

If your kitchen is poorly ventilated, you will know it. Some kitchens are so badly designed that even if there is a window opening, certain cooking smells and humidity in the air just does not seem to disappear. This can be an embarrassing problem when you have guests over and last night’s tuna casserole still lingers in the room. The best way to remedy this is by investing in a ventilation system that works fast and efficiently. These days, plenty of residential ventilation systems look stylish too, so you won’t have to worry about introducing an eye-sore to the space.

 

Mistake 6: Failing to Address Inadequate Lighting.

Kitchen designs are notorious for their poor lighting. Various spaces in the room require their own lighting solution, and more than one source of lighting is usually recommended. On your work countertops, for example, you need a strong task spotlight that won’t cast your shadow onto what you’re doing. Dining areas can do with softer, more ambient lighting that set a relaxing mood. You may even want to consider adding a bulb to your pantry to avoid clumsily clambering around in the dark while you seek that elusive slow cooker. The right accent lighting can also lend to the overall aesthetic of your layout, highlighting beautiful features such as your new storage units or a proudly displayed crockery collection.

 

Mistake 7: Missing the Aspect of Art.

Within every room of your home, there is an opportunity to introduce style and beauty to the space. Whether you enjoy sophisticated and sleek design, or something a little more rustic and homey, it is a great idea to add a few décor pieces to the room. Small, potted herbs, elegant window coverings, and even elegantly designed appliances can all add to the feel of the room and turn the space into something that feels more like home to you.

For smaller kitchens, it can be difficult to decorate without overwhelming the space with clutter. In this case, focus on replacing essential items with an updated version that has a little flair to it. Chuck that old breadbin out for a new one with a dash of colour, find a new fruit bowl that draws the eye, or replace your light fixtures with something a little more contemporary. Think out of the box, too, like a room-anchoring rug or a new backsplash with a stark design. Functional art is key here.

 

Mistake 8: Leaving Your Wall Space Bare.

Kitchens, especially smaller to medium-sized ones, require intelligent and modular designs that make use of every nook and cranny. For this reason, most professional decorators and designers recommend utilising wall space. Not only does this give the room a rounded-off, complete look, but it adds essential storage space too. Think about how much you could fit on shelving or extra cabinets along the walls. This means reducing countertop clutter and making items like crockery, spices, or cookware much easier to access. Storing items high up that can break easily, as well as potentially dangerous cleaning chemicals is also far better for homes with small children that always find a way to get into cupboards on the ground. At GEZA, our free-standing storage solutions come with a Top Unit and Grocery Unit that makes use of vital wall space.

 

Mistake 9: Overspending for the Sake of Image.

Yes, it is entirely possible to attain a kitchen design worthy of a feature in an interior style magazine – even if yours doesn’t offer much room with which to play. Overspending, however, is hardly a necessity, and many homeowners make the mistake of blowing their budget on marble countertops and expensive cabinet installations when there are tons of affordable alternatives available – and only you would know the difference. Use this saved money to instead splurge on better appliances and features that make the room more inviting to family and friends.

 

Why Our Free-Standing Kitchen Storage Units Are Worth the Investment.

When it comes to storage, our advice above has probably left you scratching your head. You want something affordable, easy to install, and stylish too.

Our Specialised Products Are Just the Refresher Your Kitchen Needs

It’s an area of the house with which all members of the household often engage – and some even consider it the heart of the home. Most of us have great memories of kitchens. It’s where families get together while making food and enjoying conversation. For those accustomed to an open-plan kitchen and dining area, this is the space in which memories are made while eating meals, celebrating special occasions, and having guests over. It’s an activity hub and an extraordinarily important part of our lives but many homeowners never feel the need to improve this space. If, however, you recognise the immense value in investing in your kitchen, our innovative range of unique products may be what you are seeking.

 

We Do Designs a Little Differently

At GEZA, we are set apart because of how well we create modular, space-saving kitchen components. We have experience in the industry since 1999 and understand what it takes to fill the gap in the affordable-housing market. Our models have been utilised for all kinds of applications, such as:

 

• Affordable-housing projects and developments.
• Container conversions.
• Houses of every size.
• Cottages and garden flats.
• Residences built from brick, wood, partitioning, or steel.
• Smaller businesses.
• Lodging and accommodation applications such as bed and breakfasts, guest houses, motels and hotels, and game lodges.

 

Not only are our top-quality kitchen products affordable but they look good too. Now you can remodel your kitchen with stylish designs that will add to your home’s value and uplift its appearance. Our kitchen units are ultra-easy to install and you won’t need to waste any time with brickwork, plastering, tiling, or breaking into any structures. Units that include shelving, storage cupboards, sinks, stovetops, ovens, gas hobs, and even fridges are all available, so there’s no need to shop anywhere else.

Each product is designed to make the most of your available space while maintaining streamlined, clean aesthetics to suit any style – from modern to vintage. Another bonus is that if you move to a new home that is unfurnished, you can simply disassemble your units and take them with you. Once relocated, reassemble them to suit your current layout’s requirements – no fuss.

Contacting our sales team at GEZA for all your kitchen upgrade needs means you are privy to world-class service, excellent products, and after-sales maintenance whenever you need it. Have a chat with us today for any questions and advice on our fantastic range.

Researching Where to Buy Kitchen Units? We Specialise in Space-Saving Solutions

It’s quite a challenge to remodel smaller kitchens – most brands stock products that are either too large to fit or cause the space to feel cramped. Properties with compact spaces often leave owners stuck choosing between expensive, custom-built fittings or missing out on a complete kitchen. This gap in the market became apparent to us over 20 years ago, which is why our brand took off in 1999. Through innovative solutions for homes and developments with limited space, we have become one of the country’s leading suppliers and installers of space-maximising refurbishments. If you have been wondering where to buy kitchen units for smaller spaces, you have come to the right place.

 

Virtually no Preparation Required

We strive to simplify the process of upgrading a property and provide our customers with a quick and easy alternative to complete home overhauls. Our installations do not require any brickwork, wet work, plastering, or tiling. Refining our products over the years means installation today has only become easier. The benefit of our products is that you save time, money, and tons of messy labour that would take weeks otherwise.

6 Terrific Reasons to Invest in Our Kitchen-Sink and Storage Units

When meeting a property agent and scouting for a new home, potential buyers often enter the residence and make a beeline for the kitchen. The reason for this behaviour? Something about this space in the home draws us in. It is where families and friends make and share their meals; it’s where mothers wash the dishes while listening to the local radio, or where fathers help their kids with homework. This communal space is the birthplace of holiday feasts and birthday traditions – the heart and soul of a home. It makes absolute sense, then, that our range of kitchen-sink and storage units is so popular on the South African market.

People are continually looking to improve their kitchens and if you are keen to, we can certainly assist. After all, this hub of good food, great conversations, and precious memories is more than just a room; it’s an extension of the family living there. Here, we explore six reasons why investing in GEZA’s kitchen-sink and storage units will save you plenty of time, money, and effort.

 

• Our range is ultra-affordable. “How much does it cost?” is usually the first question that South Africans ask. With the price of living steeply increasing each year, who can blame them? Fortunately, GEZA has been specialising in affordable and innovative solutions from as early as 1999, which means we have over 20 years of experience when it comes to improving our cost-effective range. Full functionality and aesthetically pleasing designs are not concepts we are willing to compromise on, so you can be sure you are getting the best value for your money.

 

• Installation takes no time at all. Another reason some homeowners opt to put off a kitchen-remodelling project is because of how much time it takes. Nobody enjoys invasive home makeovers where workers arrive and cause a commotion for weeks on end. Because kitchens are so integral to a household’s functioning, redoing this part of the home needs to happen as quickly as possible. Our sink and storage units are freestanding solutions that are already fitted with their necessary fixtures – this means that no wet work or excessive construction (and destruction) is required. Within a few hours, your kitchen sink and storage units will be operational and ready for use.

 

• They work in any kind of kitchen. Whether you have a small apartment, compact container, a guest bedroom with a kitchenette, or even a tented camp, our range is ideal for you. Easy installation, customisable components, and easy removal all make our kitchen-sink and storage units highly versatile and perfect for just about any setup – large or small.

 

• No-fuss cleaning and maintenance. Most people would prefer to opt for fittings and storage of high quality, without the need for specialised cleaning products and maintenance. Unfortunately, plenty of products that cater to the affordable housing market are often made with cheap raw materials and poor production methods, which means they do not last very long. At GEZA, our products were built to last and cleaning is as simple as wiping down each surface with a damp cloth.

 

• We prioritise style. With kitchen-sink and storage units so affordable, our customers value how stylish and modern our range remains. Whether you are looking to create a sleek, clean finish or if you simply want something a little homier and more inviting, our products are versatile enough to accommodate all these preferences.

 

• You can rely on our service. We believe in your vision and it is our priority to assist you in making your dream kitchen layout a reality. Our dedicated sales-team members consult with each client to find out precisely what their ideas and concepts involve and we provide the products and installation to make it happen. More than 20 years in the industry and over 4000 satisfied clients countrywide make us a top competitor in the market.

6 Kitchen Design Tips for Small Kitchens That You Can Implement on a Budget

Small kitchens are a challenge to renovate. As the heart of the home, we need our kitchens to look and feel inviting – but compact spaces do not always allow for statement design pieces. Thankfully, introducing style is entirely possible – but you need to know how to go about it. At GEZA, we have over 19 years of experience in the affordable housing market, and we know a thing or two about useful kitchen design tips. So, if your space is tight, and your budget even tighter, have a look at some of our inspired ideas on how to transform cramped kitchens.

 

1. Start Off with Your Canvas. Strip back your cabinets, appliances, and counters and what is left? The floor and walls. Think of these two surfaces as your starting canvas from which to work. Replacing your floors altogether may be costly, but some flooring solutions such as luxury vinyl planks work wonderfully in small kitchens. For your floors, stick to neutral flooring that won’t distract from the overall look. Keep walls lighter in colour and stick to pastels and creams if you wish to avoid stark white altogether. Lighter shades allow the room to look and feel more spacious.

 

2. Introduce a Splash of Colour. One of the best design tips you can carry with you into any room is to select a colour palette. Such a palette can contain four to five colours – such as white, grey, blue, and charcoal – that all complement each other and work well in a small space. These colours can then be incorporated into appliances, tablecloths, curtains, and any décor. The right colours will be calming, welcoming, and add life to your kitchen.

 

3. Update Your Appliances. Your grandmother’s hand-me-down microwave might not add to the aesthetic you are looking to create, so updating your appliances over a few months is a way to save money and introduce items of better quality to your kitchen. Kettles, toasters, and even fridges are all easy to match in shades like white, silver, or black. For small kitchens, look for compact appliances that don’t draw the eye too much, as the room’s focus should be more on its overall aesthetic appeal.

 

4. Replace Your Lighting Fixtures. When searching for design tips online, you will find that most home-improvement and décor websites mention light fixtures. This is because new lights really do transform a small room without taking up any functional space. Whether you want low hanging lights, delicate designs, or something bold and unique, your light fixtures of choice will add a lot of character to your kitchen.

 

5. Don’t Forget Your Window Dressings. Some kitchens have windows, which provide an excellent opportunity to introduce some functional design. Some tips for window dressings we recommend include adding light, stylish curtains, or trendy blinds. While curtains may allow a space to look homier, be careful not to choose a fabric that is bulky and makes the room seem smaller. Shades, on the other hand, work well with a sleek and modern kitchen.

 

6. Install New Kitchen Units. Finding counters, cabinets, sinks, fridges, and stoves to match one look is no small feat. Doing this wrong can, in fact, create a chaotic look where all you really want is seamless integration. No matter how many design tips for small kitchens you implement, you still need a functional space that looks good. Fortunately, at GEZA, we have the perfect solution for you. Our experience with small kitchens goes back to 1999 when we began supplying and installing a unique range of beautiful kitchen units. Our units are available in various colours and styles and will work for a room of just about any size. We not only use floor space but wall height as well – which means you have ample space to work and store food or kitchenware.

 

We hope our kitchen design tips for small spaces have inspired you – but if you find any difficulty implementing these tips, why not speak to us? We invite you to show us your ideas and we will advise you on products in our range that will suit your needs. For more information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us today.
