This compact kitchen has been designed around a generously sized angular peninsula. Bespoke Shaker-style tulipwood cabinetry has been painted in a neutral shade to keep this small space feeling light and bright. With flecks of red in the granite worktops echoing the colours elsewhere, the kitchen is not just an elegant room to relax in, but a well-planned space to cook in.

2/7 Peninsula
A geometrically shaped peninsula creates a convenient breakfast bar, with bar stools. Keeping the feeling of space was key, so a generous larder has been chosen over wall units, along with an oven housing that sits at mid height.

3/7 Open kitchen shelving
Open shelving is painted in deep red to create a vibrant contrast to the pale cabinetry. Using chunky open shelves for storage instead of wall units keeps a sense of spaciousness. Below, a mirrored splashback reflects beams of light from spots below the shelves around the room.

7/7 Clever kitchen storage
