This social, open-plan space was created by combining the kitchen and garage. The glossy dark units and chunky walnut worktops look designer but were actually from a DIY store. The chandelier extractor fan above the island unit adds a touch of glamour.
Before shot
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.
Hexangonal island unit
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.
Walnut worktop
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.
Budget glamour
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.
Angled unit
To keep the worktops uncluttered, as much storage was fitted as possible. The island's built-in units are ideal for storing dry goods.
Kitchen storage
These handy drawers neatly store cutlery and crockery helping to keep the kitchen tidy and organised.
Wine cooler
A slimline wine fridge has cleverly been squeezed in this gap at the end of the units.
Open plan dining
The glitzy modern chandeliers above the dining table help to define the space and tie in with the glam extractor hood.
