Be inspired by a striking walnut kitchen

Warm walnut furniture is given a sharp twist with splashes of apple green, while contemporary pendant lighting gives an intimate feel to the dining area. A floating table is cleverly supported by a concealed metal framework.

Island unit

The island's split-level design creates interest, while a band of zebrano wood echoes the breakfast bar and table.

Extractor hood 

A large extractor fan has four speed settings and incorporates five halogen lights with a dimmer function. Pale granite worktops, cream marble floor tiles and light grey walls ensure the kitchen feels light and bright.

Workstation

Integrated into the island is a robust chopping block, made from maple and walnut in a checkerboard pattern and finished in oil. The front is curved so that it reflects a bow-fronted cupboard opposite. At one end of the room, a storage unit features black glass panels to minimise the impact of a TV screen.

Fridge freezer

The fridge freezer has low-level drawer storage, while its glass panel breaks up its solid shape. Cut-out detailing on the furniture ties in with the fridge freezer's distinctive ventilation grille.

Breakfast bar

The gently textured zebrano breakfast bar contains equipment that controls the sound system, electronic blinds and lighting. Sleek stainless-steel bar stools add a touch of designer chic to the scheme, while brushed nickel bar handles and stainless-steel hinges break up the wood.

Wine storage

The wine cooler sits at an angle to fit neatly into a corner of the room beside the door. The smart styling of the cabinet helps to merge the chiller into the scheme.

Hob area

Rounded cupboards and gently fluted worktop edges break up the line of the furniture in front of the hobs. A variety of domino hobs provide a customised cooking selection.

Raised dishwasher

The dishwasher is positioned higher than usual, to minimise bending to load and upload it. The height difference also interrupts a long expanse of granite, so the effect isn't flat or clinical.
