Kitchens are increasingly being designed as open spaces where you can cook, socialise, interact and eat with friends and family. The world's second largest kitchen manufacturer, ALNO is renowned for its cutting edge kitchens and designs, giving you the ultimate kitchen to enjoy with your loved ones.

Premier ALNO dealer and 2009 winner of the coveted Master Retailer Award for Kitchens in the kbbreview Industry Awards, Diane Berry says, “The kitchen is the heart of the home, where everybody meets, chats, eats and entertains – staying in is the new going out. It is really important to create comfortable eating areas, ideally with a table and chairs and or a social bar where everyone is not sat in a row! Linking the social bar to an island means that guests can talk to the host while they cook – it is also a great place to serve canapés.”
