1/7 Mirror
2/7 Island unit
As there are no wall-mounted cupboards, the large tongue-and-groove-clad island shields most of the cabinetry, making the room feel like more of a relaxed living space than just a kitchen. To one side, an American fridge freezer dispenses ice and water.

3/7 Open shelving
Floating shelves along the back wall, painted to match the room, are a less oppressive option than overhead cupboards. Here, they are used to display appliances and crockery. The marble worksurface has been continued to serve as a beautifully veined splashback.

6/7 Essential storage
This cupboard front conceals a pair of oak drawers that house crockery and dry goods. It's a clever trick to gain flexible storage space, while preserving the uncluttered look of the kitchen.
7/7 Sink area
A stainless-steel tap contributes to the eclectic feel of the room.
