Affordable White Kitchen with All Types of Island Ideas and Designs

The waterfall edge on the island offeres a vertical view of the Brachot Capri BQS quartz worktop. It is a lovely quartz with a fine marble effect grey and brown vein. These waterfall edges not only look great but they are so easy to clean and add a level of protection to an island that end panels don't.

This stunning kitchen project in Dulwich perfectly balances timeless tradition and modern-day functionality. Designed with both elegance and practicality in mind, it showcases exquisite craftsmanship and thoughtful attention to detail throughout. The in-frame cabinetry features classic Shaker-style doors, constructed with an 18mm oak veneer carcass and finished with beech doors. Inside, solid oak dovetailed drawer boxes glide smoothly on soft-close runners, combining strength with luxury. All of the cabinetry has been painted in Pink Ground by Farrow & Ball - a soft, warm tone that brings a welcoming and subtly romantic feel to the space. Antique brass knobs and cup handles add a layer of traditional charm and timeless character. The worktops and splashback are finished in 20mm Calacatta Gold quartz, which adds a touch of luxury with its distinctive veining and polished finish while offering exceptional durability for everyday use. Premium appliances are seamlessly integrated, including a 90cm Fisher & Paykel American-style fridge freezer, a NEFF steam oven, a NEFF micro-combi oven, and an induction hob. A classic Butler sink paired with a Quooker tap enhances both style and function, while a Caple wine fridge positioned in the island makes entertaining a breeze. This kitchen is a beautiful reflection of how classic design and contemporary living can come together in perfect harmony. Inspired by this space?

Après validation de la planche d’ambiance, j’ai imaginé une cuisine fonctionnelle et lumineuse plus ouverte sur l’entrée. Elle intègre un nouveau lave vaisselle et une multitude de rangements toute hauteur. L’ambiance se veut pleine de douceur et d’authenticité associée à des codes contemporains. On retrouve donc du bois en plan de travail, de la faïence en crédence, un sol vinyle en terrazzo et un mix de façades mates beige rosé et d’autres blanches laquées. Le tout est rehaussé avec une robinetterie et des poignées cuivrées.

We painted the cabinets in French Grey to match the wall colour on this modern shaker project. The curved island seat 6 people as well as hiding the ovens from sight. The tall bank houses butler's pantry, appliance garage and home bar area. The vented hob means no wall extractor leaving room for a nice feature picture rail instead.
