Make the most of your window space

What you need to take into consideration when planning a window-facing kitchen

If you’re looking to position your kitchen sink facing the window, proper planning and your choice of mixer tap will present the biggest challenges. Lots of kitchen windows open inwards, so conventional mixer taps would simply be in the way. In such cases, you have to attach the mixer tap to the outer edge of the sink, or ensure that it is low enough for the window to open above it. Window-facing mixer taps that can be removed, lowered or folded away offer a practical alternative. Like conventional kitchen mixer taps, these come in different designs.
