Check out this sleek kitchen

The owners knocked down a wall between their kitchen and utility room to make one large space where they could entertain easily.

1/6 Modern kitchen in soft grey

There is now a peninsular unit where the dividing wall used to stand, beyond which there's a seating area.

4/6 Concealed lighting

The kitchen looks light and modern, with handleless units in a soft pebble colour, a clear glass splashback and a white Corian worktop.

Spotlights beneath the wall units and strips of LED lighting under the worktops create a great atmosphere in the evenings.

The homeowner's old kitchen was a compact size before a wall was knocked down to make two rooms into one.
