How Blum’s SPACE STEP Tackles Two Big Challenges with One Clever Solution
Unlocking New Dimensions in Tight Spaces
As India continues to experience rapid urbanisation and the migration of its people from rural settings into dynamic cities, living spaces in urban environments are becoming noticeably tighter. This demographic shift compels interior designers and residents to rethink how to manage and optimise space in constrained living areas.
Towering furniture has long been an effective response to managing storage in homes with limited space. However, the practical challenge of accessing high spaces has remained a persistent issue. Blum’s SPACE STEP emerges as a double-duty solution tailored to improve accessibility and storage.
SPACE STEP: The Smart Plinth Innovation
Conceived with urban living in mind, SPACE STEP by Blum addresses the difficulty of accessing higher cabinets. This innovative plinth solution integrates into the toe kick of base units, transforming unused space into a highly functional cabinet. Simply stepping on the SPACE STEP gives users the height advantage to access the upper reaches of tall furniture.
But SPACE STEP offers more than just easier access. It also maximises storage potential by converting under-utilised toe kick areas into valuable hidden storage. This feature is particularly beneficial in kitchen environments where every inch counts or in bathrooms that need additional storage space, making SPACE STEP an essential addition.
Versatile Features for Diverse Settings
Designed for versatility, SPACE STEP accommodates a variety of settings and needs:
- Wide Size Range: Compatible with cabinet widths ranging from 400 to 1200 mm.
- Universal Integration: Works effortlessly with diverse Blum runners and box systems, backed by Blum’s proven motion technologies, including BLUMOTION soft-close.
- Safety First: With an anti-slip mechanism, SPACE STEP reliably secures in place when handling loads over 8kg, with a maximum load capacity of 150 kg.
- Customisable Profiles: Choose from three plinth styles—flush, recessed, and recessed low—to complement any design theme.
A Step Towards Smarter Living
Blum’s SPACE STEP redefines functionality in modern interiors with optimal space utilisation. It’s more than just a step up; it’s a step towards innovative, more efficient living. For interior designers, architects, and homeowners, embracing such innovations means creating environments where design and usability walk hand-in-hand, making every square inch count in compact city homes. Ideal for homes where every detail matters, SPACE STEP proves that, even with limitations, small spaces can be functional and uncompromising.
