Ealing

A showstopping island was the priority in this clean-lined, contemporary kitchen in a spacious open-plan extension overlooking the garden. Stretching the full length of the kitchen area, the island is on view from every angle, inside and out, so it had to impress on all sides. The island’s extra wide pan drawers afford practical storage and a streamlined look, while striking African Fusion Quartzite wraps down the floor at either end for added design ‘wow’.

Continuing the characterful material connections, the tall elevation features dark-stained real timber veneer, with a splashback clad in richly patinated Antique Bronze. The same luxurious metallic finish is echoed in the shadow-lines of the recessed handles throughout for elegant design cohesion. The secret to keeping this stunning kitchen looking beautifully sleek day-to-day? A fully equipped back pantry, which takes storage pressures and countertop appliances out of the equation.
