Kitchen

The fastest room in the house at destroying real flowers — grease in the air, heat off the hob, and a sink right there that makes watering look easy enough to keep forgetting. Most pieces end up on the windowsill above that sink, which means they get splashed and steamed, so the useful question is not how they look on day one but whether they wipe clean. The island is the other decision. Anything tall gets moved within a week, because an island is a surface people put things down on. A dining table can take more height, since nobody works around it — but keep it under the eyeline of whoever is sitting opposite.

Where it goes

Where it goes in a kitchen

Getting the size wrong is the commonest mistake in this category. Heights are approximate, but the constraint each surface imposes is not.

  • The islandabout 90cm

    Walked around from every side, and the surface people put things down on. Low and round, or it will be moved within a week.

  • The windowsillabout 100cm

    Above the sink in most kitchens, so it gets splashed and steamed. Choose pieces that wipe clean rather than ones that need dusting.

  • The open shelfabout 150cm

    Seen from below and usually against a wall. Trailing greenery reads well; flowers lose their faces at this angle.

  • The top of the fridgeabout 180cm

    The highest surface most people use, and the one furthest from close inspection. Height and silhouette matter, detail does not.
