Open-plan is where rooms within the home, typically the kitchen and living areas, are combined to create a larger, multi-functional space. Interior walls are removed to create the open-plan living space, which is light and airy. Alternatively, broken-plan is all about creating specific zones within larger rooms by utilising moveable room dividers, such as a bookcase. Broken-plan living has evolved from open-plan living, where consumers were lacking in privacy or space for dedicated activities such as working from home, which has increased since the Covid-19 pandemic.

Open-plan living has brought the kitchen into the living room and designers are responding to the evolving needs of consumers by introducing sleeker designs that aim to achieve continuity throughout the whole space. As a result, consumers are looking for appliances that will either blend unobtrusively into the kitchen design, or act as a stylish focal point to catch the eye.

With a stunning contemporary design, style and functionality, all at an affordable price, you can install a combination tap, such as our 4N1 Touch; de-cluttering worktops and creating a unique, stylish focal point in the kitchen with the range of on-trend finishes and designs. At the touch of a button, our 4N1 Touch tap provides a stream of filtered cold water for 30 seconds. If the user wishes to stop the stream before 30 seconds is up, a second touch of the dedicated button will instantly stop the flow of water. The 4N1 Touch also safely dispenses filtered steaming hot water, thanks to the push-lever safety locking mechanism, which stops the flow of water immediately, as soon as the lever is released.

The trend for open-plan living incorporates the kitchen into the living room and, regardless of the kitchen style or décor, hidden appliances, such as our food waste disposers, have convenient benefits and can rid the home of bins filled with unhygienic food waste and unpleasant odours, without compromising the overall look of the open-plan living space. Our food waste disposers allow food waste to be dealt with instantly, hygienically and in a responsible manner, with the further benefits of saving space and improving cleanliness in the kitchen.


Food waste is ground into minute sized particles, thanks to the innovative system of stainless steel grinding rings. The food waste is then dispatched and simply rinsed away safely down the drain, through the standard plumbing.
