Take a look around this open-plan monochrome kitchen

The kitchen was designed by Ian Woodman at Doorstop.

The generous kitchen island is the social hub of this kitchen, with plenty of room for chopping, cooking and relaxing. An induction hob has been built into the chunky worktop, while neat shelves provide a place for recipe books.

The worktop is from Westag & Getalit AG.

To make sure that the black cabinetry didn't overwhelm the room, the owners chose white porcelain tiles for the floor. Bar stools, that can be handily tucked away under the kitchen island, add to the sociable element.

For similar tiles, try The Stone & Ceramic Warehouse. The bar stools are from Argos.

A bank of units houses a built-in oven with a matching combination microwave, and a handy warming drawer for plates.

Visit Neff for these models of microwave and oven.

Strong geometric styling helps the wet area to merge with the surrounding cabinetry. The sleek lines of the tap reflect the design of the kitchen.

The tap and sink are from Franke.

To keep the kitchen looking streamlined, the dishwasher has been hidden behind a matching cabinet door.

The dishwasher is from Neff.

Making the most of a potentially-wasted corner, these pull-out shelves are perfect for storing canned goods and dry food.
