Take a tour of this bright kitchen

By removing a wall between a galley kitchen and a living room, the owners of this house created an open-plan kitchen and play room that leads through to a dining area. Bar stools painted in lime green break up the white walls and contemporary units with a hit of bold colour.

The white units have a high-gloss finish that is easy to wipe clean. A blue and green tiled splashback above the hob and a run of aubergine wall units give the modern room a more welcoming feel.

The shelves beneath the peninsular unit are painted in a vibrant turquoise blue to match the dining chairs. A trio of pendants provide focused light for cooking and fit in with the contemporary style of the room.

Bespoke banquette seating gets more people around the table and has hidden storage underneath. The dark feature wall defines the dining area from the white kitchen, and is the perfect backdrop to show off the bright turquoise shelves and dining chairs.

The owners had floor-to-ceiling storage built into an alcove at the play room end of the kitchen space. The cupboard doors are painted in blackboard paint, providing a surface for the kids to get creative.

Prior to the makeover, the kitchen had a galley layout and was a very dark space with dated units.
