Let's start with a clock; this is a prime example of a must have product, not only does it stop you searching around for the time but it also means you are able to monitor and time you're cooking so you will never over or undercook anything again. This is an example of a statement finishing touch, another aspect that falls into this category are stools and chairs.

Moving away from large accessories, what are the smaller finishing touches that you should be including in your kitchen? Think about replacing the knobs on your cabinets and the handles on your draws to tie in with aspects of your cutlery and any holders that are on display on your work surface. Also another great way to really bring out a design and personalise the room is through your choice of taps, modern chrome taps would look great with sleek draw handles and stainless steel appliances.
