Beautiful Modern New Build with High Gloss Kitchen

We have an exciting new build to show you today, with many beautiful features including a white high gloss kitchen by Planet. The brief for the build was to create a modern family home which was achieved by using plenty of contemporary finishes such as glass and stone. The large windows and feature skylight flood the house with light which also adds to the spacious modern feel.

The imposing front facade of the house.

The large entrance hall has a dramatic glass ceiling above which brings light into the space.  

The stunning skylight and glass floor in the landing floods light into the entrance hall below.

The large kitchen space is zoned into different areas by use of furniture and feature lighting creating a wonderful place to gather and entertain and take in the wonderful views of the garden.



The kitchen itself features white high gloss Parapan doors with walnut accents complimented by a beautiful Corian work surface. It has a combination of base units, lift-up wall units and a full height storage wall maximising the amount of space available. It also has a large sit at breakfast bar and state of the art stainless steel appliances from Miele.

The breakfast bar showcases the capabilities of Corian beautifully with its curved design.



The area has a great chill out sofa space..

and a large dining area for entertaining.



The stunning view of the house from the garden.

Beautiful Retro Inspired Kitchen

We thought we'd share a beautiful retro inspired kitchen with you today. The brief was to create a simplistic but stylish space for the family to cook, entertain and relax in.

 

The kitchen is lay-on style with flat painted doors featuring push catch opening mechanisms to the wall units. The end panels, plinth and cornice are walnut which provides some contrast and warmth to the otherwise muted colour scheme of grey and white.

 

 

Not having handles on the wall units gives a clean and streamlined look to the cabinets.

 

The doors fold open towards the ceiling to reveal the cabinet interior, no banging your head on the wall cupboard doors in this kitchen!

 

The base units have beautifully simple stainless steel handles. The hob is flush fitted into the worktop with the extractor neatly housed in the wall unit above. A bank of tall ovens ensures ample cooking space, the stainless steel finish in keeping with the contemporary feel throughout.



The chunky Corian worktop is formed into a large breakfast bar area ideal for casual dining or food preparation.

 



The tall cabinets below provide plenty of storage..

 

 

but they also slide open to reveal something else..

 

 

a hidden desk area! With internal shelving and compartments for keeping paperwork.

 

The beautiful copper bowl light provides a stunning focal point over the bar area with the orange blinds complimenting the warm tones within the walnut.

The grey glass splashback is a great alternative to tiling and reflects the light beautifully.

So what are your thoughts on this kitchen? Do you like the handle-less look? Would you benefit from a desk area in your own kitchen? We'd love to know what you think. 

Smart Walnut & Gloss Kitchen

We've got a smart and functional kitchen to show you today. A new extension created a long kitchen space directly off the existing dining room. The client wanted a modern feel but at the same time didn't want it to look stark.

We suggested high gloss Parapan doors mixed with walnut accents to add warmth. We designed the open bookshelves in walnut too, which you can see below, the one to the right is curved and finishes off the tall furniture to that wall perfectly rather than looking at a blank end panel.

We designed in a small breakfast bar to break up the long space and as an area to perch for a coffee or glass of wine.

We were also able to house the microwave underneath too, making it practical to use but also hidden from view when initially entering the kitchen. You can see the beautiful staved walnut finish to the breakfast bar below.

The client wanted as much storage as possible so we designed the walnut dresser shown below. We added gloss doors in an aubergine colour which works well with the richness of the wood and included a stainless steel tambour door unit in the middle. Tambour units are very flexible as when open the worktop can be used for a mixer or coffee machine for example which can then just be shut away after neatly.

The modern streamline hob sits perfectly in the Caesarstone work surface and is complimented by the matching glossy black extractor above.

Bright and Bold Stylish Family Kitchen

We have a stunning kitchen to share with you today, one with real 'wow' factor! 

The kitchen was formed from a new extension and the Client and their grown up family wanted a social and practical area to cook, dine, entertain and relax. The kitchen is an in-frame style with cockbead detailing around the doors and end panels and curved quaded posts to the corners. The kitchen contains a mixture of earthy materials which compliment the dark oak beams throughout the space.

The Client really wanted to make a statement with the island and they were bold enough to go with a deep red paint colour which was inspired by their red Kitchen Aid! The red accent colour is repeated throughout, tying it all together beautifully as you will see below.

The stunning Mercury oven and extractor below are real statement pieces. The inspirational kitchen aid to the left of the oven.

The raised bar area is accessorized beautifully with these quirky red pendant lights and stalls.

As is the breakfast table below.

We also designed this large double dresser unit for storage of special glasses and crockery.

The worktops are Angola Silver granite mixed with planked walnut. The granite reflects the light from the large skylight above beautifully. The island includes a prep sink and an inset walnut chopping board.

These modern looking baskets in walnut and aluminium mesh were designed to store fruit and vegetables.

You can see here what a beautifully large space it is and note the timber square in the floor to the right of the picture, it's something quite special..

wait for it..

it's a wine cellar!

just stunning!

What do you think of this kitchen? Would you be brave enough to go for the bold colour? And what do you think of the hidden cellar? 

Beautiful Family Kitchen Perfect for Entertaining

With the beautiful weather we're having at the moment we thought we would share with you one of our kitchens which was designed with outdoor entertaining in mind. The Client and their young family wanted a warm and inviting space where the main aim was to cater for large family gatherings. The previous kitchen area was completely remodelled and a large set of folding sliding doors were installed to help blur the boundaries between inside and out.

The kitchen is based around a large central 'L' shaped island with working area on one side and seating and storage on the other. The kitchen is lay-on in style and is finished in a mixture of handpainted Farrow & Ball London Stone and walnut veneer teamed with staved walnut worktop and ivory brown granite which gives the large space a warm feel.

The Siemens induction hob sits flush with the granite worktop with the Elica extractor above.

This photo shows the beautiful grain in the ivory brown granite and the raised walnut area of the island is perfect place for a coffee whilst enjoying the views to the garden. The Franke Swiss Pro tap also makes a real statement along with the Franke sink. We also fitted the bench seat which can be seen under the window.

The Siemens single oven and steam oven fit neatly into the walnut perimeter furniture along with the stunning full height wine cooler unit.

The staved walnut chopping block was integrated into the island and mirrors the shape of the units underneath.
