Step inside this stylish kitchen makeover

The previous units were dated and the kitchen space was small and dark. By knocking through to the garage they created a larger space stretching the length of the house.

The unusual hexagonal island unit is versatile for entertaining and has cupboard space all around it, perfect for storing kitchen essentials. The bi-fold doors that open out onto the patio help to create a light and airy feel.

A combination of wood and stainless steel creates a stylish streamlined space. The tall glass bi-fold doors teamed with pale walls and flooring ensure the open-plan room retains a light, airy feel.

The oven and microwave are situated at eye level in this tall bank of units.

The tea towel is from H&M. The appliances are from Smeg.

This area manages to stay clutter-free as there is plenty of extra storage in the new design. Subtle red and pink accessories add an injection of colour.

To keep the worktops uncluttered, as much storage was fitted as possible. The island’s built-in units are ideal for storing dry goods.

These handy drawers neatly store cutlery and crockery helping to keep the kitchen tidy and organised.

A slimline wine fridge has cleverly been squeezed in this gap at the end of the units.
