Three Kitchen Features That Make Life Easier — And You Can See Them in Action at Our Showrooms

28 May 2025

At AK Fitted Interiors, we believe your kitchen should work with you, not against you. Whether you’re preparing school lunches at the crack of dawn, hosting a relaxed Sunday lunch, or simply making a quick cuppa, small conveniences can make a huge difference. With years of experience designing and fitting high-quality kitchens across Worcestershire, Warwickshire, and the West Midlands, we’ve seen how thoughtful features can completely transform how people use their space.

In this month’s blog, we’re highlighting three clever additions that are changing the way our customers live and cook: the Quooker boiling water tap, the Siemens warming drawer, and the Le Mans corner system. Each of these can be seen in person at our showrooms in Bromsgrove, Kenilworth, and Knowle (Solihull) — and each one brings a blend of innovation, efficiency, and everyday luxury to your kitchen.

1. Quooker Boiling Water Tap — A Modern Essential

The days of waiting for the kettle to boil are over. A Quooker tap delivers 100°C boiling water instantly, straight from the tap. No more cluttered worktops, no more wasted time — just instant boiling water whenever you need it.

From making your morning cup of tea to blanching vegetables or sterilising baby bottles, the Quooker streamlines dozens of daily tasks. It’s also surprisingly energy-efficient, using a vacuum-insulated tank under the sink to keep water at boiling point with minimal electricity.

And safety? It’s built-in. With a child-safe push-and-turn handle, an insulated spout, and a fine spray rather than a solid stream of water, the Quooker is designed with families in mind.

Our professional fitting team ensures seamless installation into your existing plumbing and cabinetry, so it works perfectly and looks as sleek as the rest of your kitchen.

2. Siemens Warming Drawer — For Meals That Work Around You

Whether you’re cooking for two or ten, timing is everything — and the Siemens warming drawer gives you the flexibility to pause the clock.

This isn’t just about keeping plates warm (although it does that beautifully). It’s perfect for:

• Proving dough for fresh bread or pizza,
• Slow-cooking dishes like pulled pork or stews,
• Keeping food warm when you’re waiting for guests or juggling dinner with bath time.

Discreet, stylish, and simple to use, the Siemens warming drawer integrates seamlessly into your kitchen cabinetry. At our showrooms, you can see how it sits beneath your oven or at an accessible height, depending on your layout. It’s the kind of feature you’ll wonder how you lived without — especially if your household runs on different schedules.

Installed by our experienced team, the drawer is fitted with precision so it complements your kitchen both visually and practically.

3. Le Mans Corner System — No More Wasted Space

Corner cupboards have long been a source of frustration in many kitchens — awkward to access, and even harder to keep organised. The Le Mans corner system solves this problem with ingeniously designed pull-out trays that glide out effortlessly, bringing the contents of your cupboard right to you.

Shaped to follow the contour of your unit, each tray offers generous space and can handle heavy pots, pans, and small appliances with ease. No more bending, reaching, or rummaging — just smooth access to everything you need.

For anyone with back or mobility concerns, this feature is a game-changer. It’s also perfect for busy families trying to keep things tidy and within reach. Our fitting team ensures each Le Mans system is perfectly aligned and its weight-tested design ensures years of smooth operation.
