Working area

CaesarStone worktops are a stain, scratch and heat-resistant option in this practical kitchen. The light blue glass splashback adds to the clean, crisp look. The trio of pendant lights brings a contemporary element to this timeless scheme.

Drop-down sink drawer

A narrow-pull down drawer underneath the sink is a great use of space, providing a handy place to keep washing-up paraphernalia. The nickel door handles are a modern feature.
