The brief

The owners had a closed galley kitchen that nobody wanted to cook in. We opened the wall to the dining area, moved the cooker to the window side for ventilation, and used the freed-up space for an island that doubles as a breakfast bar for the children. The sage green was tested on the wall for a week before the cabinets were sprayed.

Scope of work

  • Removed the wall between kitchen and dining to create an open plan
  • New L-shaped cabinets with a 2.1 m island and breakfast bar
  • Quartz worktop, under-mount sink and gold-finish mixer
  • Herringbone splashback tiles and under-cabinet LED strips
  • Relocated cooker hood ducting and added four new sockets

Materials

  • Matte sage melamine on MDF carcasses
  • White quartz worktop, 20 mm
  • Brushed gold handles and mixer
  • 600 x 600 porcelain floor tiles
