Hand-built Shaker-style cabinets, smart granite worktops and reclaimed flagstones give this traditional kitchen a luxury feel. Adding colour to your kitchen can create a more welcoming space - the owners painted their units blue for a unique look.

4/6 Corner bench

A corner bench is a clever way of providing more seating where space is tight in a kitchen-diner. The owners had this bench made to measure and had it painted to match their kitchen units.

Underseat storage built into the bespoke bench is a clever use of space, creating an extra place to store away bulky mixing bowls and serveware.
