Some 28 per cent of Britons have a stereo or television in their kitchen, new research has suggested.
In comparison, 24 per cent do not have more traditional fixtures associated with the - such as washing machines or freezers - according to a new study by Legal & General.
Garry Skelton, marketing director at Legal & General, stated that it is interesting to note the changing role of the kitchen from its established association with cooking and food appliances.
"This clearly reflects people's increasingly diverse lifestyles. The research has unveiled an emerging trend for people to surround themselves with the technology in the kitchen that is elsewhere in the house," he added.
As such, Legal & General advised consumers to ensure that their
home insurance policies reflect such changes and are updated regularly to ensure that adequate cover is in place.
It was recently reported by Saga that homeowners carry out improvements and alterations to their house every five years.
