The red and white colour scheme makes this kitchen-diner perfect for the festive season, but it’s also a timeless look that will look great all year round. Simple white units topped with wooden worktops are a classic country look, and the fridge-freezer and other small appliances add touches of red.
Peninsular unit
A peninsular clearly defines the kitchen from the dining area beyond it and provides a handy spot for food prep. Vintage cookware adds to the country feel.

Sink area
The ceramic sink is positioned beneath the window to make the most of the natural light. White metro tiles have been used as a splashback and a blue gingham blind adds to the Scandinavian look.
