1. A calming family kitchen-diner with smart storage and banquette seating
Busy with their young children plus frequent guests, the owners wanted a kitchen with space to eat and relax, plus an admin area for working from home and homework monitoring. A lean-to extended the space and banquette at the island is the real star - more comfortable than bar stools but all the storage and prep space of a regular island.

Classic Shaker-style doors lend grandeur to the tall units, while, under the hob, the Metro range provides pops of brass via recessed handles. The island features the handleless Urbo and Contemporary Classic ranges in matt lacquer and Antique Brass.

3. A generous family kitchen with tailored cabinetry and elegant details

Now, one is a wet island, containing sink and dishwasher, and the other, nearest the pantry, is for food prep and seating. The cabinetry is a modern hybrid of a very classical style.
