The simple yet stylish scheme of warm oak furniture and muted tones centres on a multifunctional island. It acts as the main preparation area and houses two sinks, served by an elegant mixer tap.

Deep drawers either side of the oven provide space for saucepans. A flush-fitting induction hob continues the seamless look, while an extractor above removes cooking odours with ease.

The grain on the island appears to be one solid piece of timber, thanks to a technique called slipmatching.

The floor-to-ceiling bank of cabinetry stores dry goods and also houses a single oven and microwave. The appliances are concealed behind a clever door, which can be fully retracted and stored alongside the oven.

Offering ample storage, the island has been topped with quartz composite that extends down to the floor and is also used as a splashback behind the hob.

7/8 Flooring

Walls painted in white and teamed with neutral tiles help to enhance the feeling of space. Natural light floods into the bay window, creating a bright, airy look in this family kitchen.

8/8 Handleless doors

In place of handles, finger pulls run along the top of each cupboard and drawer, creating a seamless, uncluttered look. The square edge of the worksurface echoes the kitchen's linear feel.
