Vibrant orange cabinetry creates a striking visual impact, while soft maple units remain sympathetic to the property's farmhouse features. Pale walls allow the furniture to take centre stage in this contemporary kitchen.

2/8 Peninsula
To echo the curves of the central workstation below, a dropped ceiling creates a unique design feature. Functional as well as stylish, it houses spotlights, which create ambient mood lighting in the evening. It also conceals an extractor hood for whisking away cooking odours. A chic glass splashback protects the wall from cooking mess. Bar stools allow guests to perch at the peninsula to enjoy informal meals.

3/8 Worksurfaces
The sweeping worktops are crafted from Hi-macs, which is a hard-wearing, stain-resistant acrylic. A deep sink made from the same material provides plently of space to soak large pans, while drainer grooves have been carved into the surface to allow crockery to drip dry.

4/8 Cabinetry
This unconventional kitchen works perfectly from a functional point of view. Two built-in ovens are located close to the worktop, which is ideal when transferring hot pans. At one end of the run, an existing cupboard has been faced with maple to match.

A subtle orange stripe highlights the curve of the vast peninsula and contrasts with the rich, dark shade of the worktop. The maple adds a natural element to the design.
