This impressive monochrome kitchen creatively combines practical kitchen features with a comfortable and stress-free atmosphere. The large space includes beautiful ornate cornicing and a ceiling rose, together with a fireplace as the central feature. The open space successfully weaves modern features like metal, timber and marble whilst maintaining the functional elements of the kitchen. The island unit is manufactured in state-of-the-art laminate to ensure a slick contemporary look that is extremely durable. The units were chosen in a stained charcoal/graphite oak to marry with the bronze and laminate and offset with Carrara marble. Photography by Richard Waite.
