Nick and Tina wanted a contemporary look with a practical layout centred around appliances that would last for years. They had seen a kitchen in the showroom in a different colour and were taken to it. The final choice was Nolte in lava with anti-fingerprint doors. Above the sink area, the new Artwood striped cupboards in coffee colour add a contrasting detail. The island includes an extra table area, with a worktop in a contrasting tone featuring copper notes, sourced by Nathan from Mayflower Stone, who also supplied the remaining worktops and splashbacks. “I wanted a contrast to go with the overhead lights I’d bought, and Nathan sourced this worktop with copper tones from Mayflower. And it’s perfect,” said Tina.
The appliance specification focuses on Neff throughout: a fridge, freezer at the end of the island, main oven, microwave combi-oven, steam oven, coffee machine and warming drawer. A multi-zone induction hob on the island features a retractable extractor, keeping the chef at the centre of the room. A Quooker tap provides boiling, cold, and sparkling water. The sink, concealed bins, and dishwasher are all located within the same area of the kitchen. KF Kitchens also laid the flooring across the entire room.
THE RESULT
The finished kitchen is where Nick and Tina spend most of their time. “We haven’t left it since; we don’t sit anywhere else!” said Tina. “It’s perfect for how we like to live. It’s sociable rather than formal, with the stools at the breakfast bar. When we sit here in the evening, it feels special, like we’re out to dinner.”
“The kitchen is exactly what we wanted. Our three words for it are ‘sleek, modern and enjoyable’ or our ‘new happy haven’. We can’t recommend KF Kitchens enough!”
