With India rapidly urbanising, more and more people are migrating from rural areas and small towns to big metropolitan cities. This is inevitably leading to living spaces in urban environments getting tighter. Such a demographic shift is also compelling designers and even homeowners to think of solutions that can help in efficiently managing and optimising space in homes with a lesser carpet area. One of the solutions that have been effective in managing storage in homes with limited spaces is towering furniture. They use the height of a room without occupying much floor space and thus increase the storage capacity. However, accessibility of these towering storage spaces continues to remain a challenge. Blum’s SPACE STEP plinth solution emerges as an innovative product that aims to cater to the accessibility issue along with providing more storage.
About the Blum SPACE STEP plinth solution
The Blum SPACE STEP is crafted keeping in mind the necessities of urban living where accessing higher cabinets is a problem. It is an innovative plinth solution that integrates into the toe kick of base units, converting unused spaces into highly functional cabinets. One can just climb on the SPACE STEP to use its height advantage and access the upper corners of tall furniture. Thus, without the Blum SPACE STEP, one is definitely missing out on the convenience of easily accessing those hard-to-reach cabinets, making daily tasks more difficult than they need to be.
Benefits of the Blum SPACE STEP plinth solution
The Blum SPACE STEP provides more than just easy access to those hard-to-reach high storage spaces. It also maximises the storage capacity by converting the less-used and under-utilised toe-kick areas into valuable hidden storage. This feature allows customers to make the most of their kitchen space by turning otherwise unused toe kick areas into valuable hidden storage, providing extra room for organizing items and reducing clutter without sacrificing accessibility or aesthetics. Thus, the SPACE STEP plinth solution from Blum becomes an essential addition to homes, especially kitchens.
Features of the Blum SPACE STEP
The SPACE STEP is designed with flexibility in mind, making it suitable for a wide range of cabinets, from 400 to 1200 mm wide. It works perfectly with Blum’s runners and box systems, ensuring smooth operation thanks to Blum’s advanced motion technologies like the BLUMOTION soft-close feature. This means that no matter how often it’s used, the SPACE STEP will close quietly and gently. Safety is a top priority, and the SPACE STEP includes an anti-slip feature that keeps it secure when handling heavy items over 8 kg, with a maximum weight capacity of 150 kg, providing peace of mind for any user. To fit different design styles, it comes with customizable plinth options—flush, recessed, and recessed low—allowing it to blend seamlessly into any kitchen or living space without disrupting the overall look.
SPACE STEP – Elevating functionality and design for smarter, compact living
Blum’s SPACE STEP plinth solution brings a new level of functionality to modern interiors by making the most of the available high-storage spaces. It’s not just an ordinary step—it’s a smart solution that adds efficiency to living environments. For interior designers, architects, and homeowners, incorporating innovations like SPACE STEP means creating spaces where both design and practicality work together seamlessly. This is especially important in compact city homes where every inch counts. Perfect for homes where attention to detail matters, SPACE STEP shows that even small spaces can be highly functional without sacrificing style or usability.
