This customer wanted their new kitchen to perfectly complement the beautiful views across the harbour. They also specifically requested a bespoke seating area which both formed part of the kitchen and looked out over the water, to give them another place to socialise and admire the stunning view.
To deliver on this colour scheme, the obvious choice for the unit colours would have been sea blue, but besides being predictable, this would have left the design with little depth. Instead, the design uses Graphite Satin Lacquer furniture, whose cool tones tie in with the blue accents, whilst providing enough contrast to really make those lighter blues stand out. The Hi-Macs worktop in Emerald is used for the breakfast bar and flows around the top of the seating area, while the blue gradient of the splashbacks resembles a sea view. The Silestone Snowy Ibiza worktops are crucial in bringing the design together, marrying with all the other colours and enhancing the room’s light and airy feel.
Not only the design’s colours but also its shapes are a nod to the waterside location. The curves of the island were designed to give its edges the same kind of fluidity as the waves outside. The island was also carefully designed to use the biggest single piece of worktop possible and to incorporate the structural column. Altogether, this creates a light, bright, fluid design which most certainly brings the outside in.
