A new kitchen trend has begun to influence interior design, it has been suggested. According to Emma Love, writing for the Daily Mail, an increasing number of people are reverting to a traditional style of sitting in the kitchen for tea and cakes. This means homeowners are beginning to purchase Fifties-style kitchenware and granny-style tea sets, she noted. Ms Love also stated that a number of retailers are beginning to stock traditional items, with a number of retro yet useful items available. These include glass sugar caddys, old-fashioned milk bottles and even blackboards - which can be used for writing shopping lists, she remarked. People looking for even more traditional offerings can take advantage of tea shops that have sprung up, providing cupcakes and sponges. Those looking to buck the trend and shell out on modern accessories could benefit from purchasing a Franke Triflow filter, which is designed to maximise the purity of kitchen tap water.
