The kitchen has been described as the most developed room in the home when it comes to technology.This is the verdict of designer Rita St Clair, who believes that kitchen design needs to reflect the advanced technology inside a kitchen.She told Tribune Media Services that people should maintain a firm grip on what they want from kitchen designs and not allow a lack of knowledge about technology get in the way of them getting their dream kitchen.Todays kitchen is often the most technologically sophisticated part of the home. And that can be a little scary for non-techies who are planning a new or remodelled kitchen, she stated.In such a high personal functioning area the placement of appliances and the general look of a kitchen should always reflect the needs and preferences of those who will use the space on a regular basis.Bringing in experts to help provide input has also been advocated by Ms St Clair, but she reaffirmed the importance of homeowners maintaining a degree of control in their designs.
