Take a look around this smart maple kitchen

To complement the cabinetry, the homeowners bought a wooden table and chairs. The couple realised that the travertine flooring they wanted would not be hardwearing enough, so they chose Tuscany Gold ceramic tiles.

A two-bowl, stainless-steel sink by Franke is fitted snugly into the corner and has a useful waste disposal unit below. The Ratio tap by Abode has a pull-out spray, which is indispensable for rinsing fruit and vegetables.

The Siemens hob has been positioned so that the couple can enjoy the view of the garden while cooking. This induction model is extra wide and framed by stainless steel.

The internal sliding drawers in the peninsula are hidden behind a door and offer handy storage for everyday kitchen items such as plates and cereal bowls.

Rather than making a feature of an open wine rack, the homeowners opted for a sleeker look and fitted purpose-built shelves inside the peninsula behind a cupboard door. This also has the advantage of keeping the bottles out of the daylight to preserve the wine’s bouquet.

The Siemens dishwasher has been semi-integrated to maintain the clean lines of the cabinetry, and has been installed close to the sink for convenience.
