White Kitchen with Quartz Worktops and Concrete Worktops Ideas and Designs

Step into a sanctuary that dissolves the boundaries between indoors and out. With its vaulted ceilings, panoramic windows and beautifully crafted Tom Howley kitchen, this breathtaking extension has unequivocally become the soul of this historic Perthshire home. Clever storage solutions like the slim pantry and bi-fold drinks bar offer stylish storage and easy access to everyday items as well as your favourite beverages. The large kitchen island allows guests to relax and socialise while the host serves up delicious food. The vaulted ceiling provides a dramatic effect, while the large glass doors at either end of the space flood the room with natural light, making this kitchen the perfect place to relax at any time of day.

We were commissioned to design and make a bespoke kitchen and a separate dining space with banquette seating for our clients, who were in the process of having a new private home built on the outskirts of Winchester. Following these initial projects, we were then briefed to design and create all the fitted furniture for the pantry, laundry room, boot room, banquette seating for the bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom vanity. We worked closely with our clients who had a distinct vision of the aesthetic they were seeking, so our role was to interpret their requirements to create a beautiful kitchen and dining area, designed with perfect flow and functionality, and perfectly in-keeping with the rest of the space. The entire ground floor is neutrally decorated in Stone 1 by Paint & Paper Library on the walls and ceiling. It has large black steel Crittall windows throughout, with full-height Crittall doors leading to the garden. Matching internal glazed panel doors lead to a separate drawing room, while the rest of the ground floor is dedicated to the open plan kitchen and entertaining area. The hand-laid patterned Ash flooring was chosen during the design process so the dark stain of the vertical grain Oak veneered fronts, and plinth on the island was chosen to complement it. All Antique Brass knobs and handles are by Armac Martin and all Antique Brass wall brackets are by Corston Architectural. These complement the pendant and wall lights by Apparatus Studio and wall lights above the sink run by Blue Print Lighting NYC. There are two main runs of cabinetry which are made using dark stained oak carcases and solid oak shelves. The 22mm thick door and drawer fronts feature 18mm broken ogee bead mouldings and all are handpainted in Stone 2 by Paint & Paper Library. The tall run behind the island runs floor-to-ceiling with a moulded cornice at the top matching the cornicing in the rest of the room. Five storage top boxes run along the length of the cabinetry and are situated above (from left) a tall integrated cabinet for glasses, next to an integrated tall freezer by Gaggenau. At the centre is housing for a bank of Gaggenau Vario 400 cooking appliances consisting of a single oven with a combination microwave above and a 29cm culinary drawer beneath. A reduced height top box and a shallow drawer for racks and trays are above and below. To the right is a tall integrated fridge next to an integrated three-zone wine conditioning cabinet, all by Gaggenau. On the task side, directly in front of the bank of ovens, is a personalised Gaggenau cook centre mounted within the 3.6m x 1.3m island’s 30mm thick Bianco Superiore Honed Quartzite worktop. This comprises a domino gas hob, domino induction hob and domino teppan yaki, separated by two downdraft extractors in-between and all feature rotary controls integrated within cabinetry beneath. The entire hob set is rebated into the worktop providing a completely flush finish. Also on the task side are handleless deep drawers for pots and pans beneath handleless shallow drawers for cutlery and utensils. At one end of the island is a square ceramic undermount sink by Shaws and Quooker Fusion Pro3 Boiling Water Tap with a special finish, which is used for food preparation. The facing side of the island features further handleless cabinets, all with pull-out shelves on soft close runners, together with further shallow storage drawers above them. The long sink run extends beneath a large Crittall window. Undercounter from left is an integrated pull-out fridge by Liebherr next to two pull-out storage drawers and a cabinet for pull-out bins. At the centre is a Shaws Entwistle single bowl sink with an aged brass Perrin & Rowe Ionian Tap. Beneath the farmhouse style sink is a 30mm quartzite sill to accommodate for spils and splashes protecting the painted woodwork of the sink cabinet, a signature addition by Searle & Taylor. To the right of the sink is a 60cm integrated dishwasher by Miele adjacent to further deep and shallow storage drawers. At the end of the run is a specially designed cabinet for two dark oak pull-out trays and two solid dark oak pull-out chopping boards, another signature design by Searle & Taylor. Matching the quartzite worktop is a 30mm splashback and upstand in the same material. In addition, there are four 30mm thick quartzite shelves with with ogee edged moulding, that sit upon the Corston Architectural brackets. To the right of the kitchen area is the dining area within a triple window recess. Built within the bay is a large bespoke banquette seating area made by Searle & Taylor, with piano-hinged lids to provide hidden cushion storage behind the seats. LED lighting runs at the base of the cabinetry to make a feature of the seating at night. On either side of the banquette are alcove cabinets in the same dark oak stained veneer as the kitchen island and kitchen accents. An oval dark oak Miniforms Monoplauto dining table from Go Modern sits at the centre with two further Fritz Harken Series 7 dining chairs from The Conran Shop.

A modern U-shaped kitchen featuring handleless white cabinets with integrated natural wood detailing at the edges. The quartz countertops provide a durable and clean surface, while the backsplash seamlessly matches the countertop material. Large windows flood the space with natural light, enhancing its bright and airy atmosphere. The tiled floor in a subtle grey diamond pattern adds visual interest without overwhelming the minimalist design.

The client wished to merge their existing kitchen with the dining room, aiming for an open-plan kitchen diner. We managed the construction aspect of this project, guaranteeing a smooth transition from the building work to the kitchen installation. The kitchen was relocated to the newly opened area, enabling us to craft a functional and striking kitchen, complete with an island, ample storage, and extensive worktop space. Additionally, we designed a window seat within the bay window section, which further enhances storage options.

A perfect blend of elegance and functionality. Step into timeless sophistication with this stunning bespoke kitchen finished in London Stone and Shaded White. The centrepiece? A breathtaking Misterio quartz worktop—a perfect match for the soft-toned palette. Featuring: • Antique knurled brass hardware for a touch of classic charm • Patinated brass Quooker tap blending beauty with boiling-water convenience • Integrated Bora and Neff appliances From the wide shaker cabinetry to the warm wood flooring and ambient pendant lighting, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a space that’s both welcoming and wow-worthy. Our client chose a stunning dining table and chairs with matching island seating from Moy Furniture Centre Limited BORA Quooker NEFF Home McKenna Stonecraft Alexander & Wilks

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.

Step into this vibrant and inviting kitchen that combines modern design with playful elements. The centrepiece of this kitchen is the 20mm Marbled White Quartz worktops, which provide a clean and sophisticated surface for preparing meals. The light-coloured quartz complements the overall bright and airy ambience of the kitchen. The cabinetry, with doors constructed from plywood, introduces a natural and warm element to the space. The distinctive round cutouts serve as handles, adding a touch of uniqueness to the design. The cabinets are painted in a delightful palette of Inchyra Blue and Ground Pink, infusing the kitchen with a sense of fun and personality. A pink backsplash further enhances the playful colour scheme while providing a stylish and easy-to-clean surface. The kitchen's brightness is accentuated by the strategic use of rose gold elements. A rose gold tap and matching pendant lights introduce a touch of luxury and sophistication to the design. The island situated at the centre enhances functionality as it provides additional worktop space and an area for casual dining and entertaining. The integrated sink in the island blends seamlessly for a streamlined look. Do you find inspiration in this fun and unique kitchen design? Visit our project pages for more.

A typical Scandinavian kitchen… Clean simplistic lines and high quality durable materials are the focal point of this design. Solid birch cabinetry is matched with an Artscut Calacatta Gold splashback and worktop. An extra long sink has been carved into the worktop in order to home an indoor herb garden or an ice trough , whichever is preferred!

This renovation in Hitchin features Next125, the renowned German range, which is a perfect choice for a contemporary look that is stylish and sleek and built to the highest standards. We love how the run of tall cabinets in a Walnut Veneer compliment the Indigo Blue Lacquer and mirrors the wide planked Solid Walnut breakfast bar. The Walnut reflects other pieces of furniture in the wider living space and brings the whole look together. The integrated Neff appliances gives a smart, uncluttered finish and the Caesarstone Raw Concrete worktops are tactile and functional and provide a lovely contrast to the Walnut. Once again we are pleased to be able to include a Quooker Flex tap in Stainless Steel. This is a fantastic living space for the whole family and we were delighted to work with them to achieve a look that works across both the kitchen and living areas.

Le projet : Un appartement classique à remettre au goût du jour et dont les espaces sont à restructurer afin de bénéficier d’un maximum de rangements fonctionnels ainsi que d’une vraie salle de bains avec baignoire et douche. Notre solution : Les espaces de cet appartement sont totalement repensés afin de créer une belle entrée avec de nombreux rangements. La cuisine autrefois fermée est ouverte sur le salon et va permettre une circulation fluide de l’entrée vers le salon. Une cloison aux formes arrondies est créée : elle a d’un côté une bibliothèque tout en courbes faisant suite au meuble d’entrée alors que côté cuisine, on découvre une jolie banquette sur mesure avec des coussins jaunes graphiques permettant de déjeuner à deux. On peut accéder ou cacher la vue sur la cuisine depuis le couloir de l’entrée, grâce à une porte à galandage dissimulée dans la nouvelle cloison. Le séjour, dont les cloisons séparatives ont été supprimé a été entièrement repris du sol au plafond. Un très beau papier peint avec un paysage asiatique donne de la profondeur à la pièce tandis qu’un grand ensemble menuisé vert a été posé le long du mur de droite. Ce meuble comprend une première partie avec un dressing pour les amis de passage puis un espace fermé avec des portes montées sur rails qui dissimulent ou dévoilent la TV sans être gêné par des portes battantes. Enfin, le reste du meuble est composé d’une partie basse fermée avec des rangements et en partie haute d’étagères pour la bibliothèque. On accède à l’espace nuit par une nouvelle porte coulissante donnant sur un couloir avec de part et d’autre des dressings sur mesure couleur gris clair. La salle de bains qui était minuscule auparavant, a été totalement repensée afin de pouvoir y intégrer une grande baignoire, une grande douche et un meuble vasque. Une verrière placée au dessus de la baignoire permet de bénéficier de la lumière naturelle en second jour, depuis la chambre attenante. La chambre de bonne dimension joue la simplicité avec un grand lit et un espace bureau très agréable. Le style : Bien que placé au coeur de la Capitale, le propriétaire souhaitait le transformer en un lieu apaisant loin de l’agitation citadine. Jouant sur la palette des camaïeux de verts et des matériaux naturels pour les carrelages, cet appartement est devenu un véritable espace de bien être pour ses habitants. La cuisine laquée blanche est dynamisée par des carreaux ciments au sol hexagonaux graphiques et verts ainsi qu’une crédence aux zelliges d’un jaune très peps. On retrouve le vert sur le grand ensemble menuisé du séjour choisi depuis les teintes du papier peint panoramique représentant un paysage asiatique et tropical. Le vert est toujours en vedette dans la salle de bains recouverte de zelliges en deux nuances de teintes. Le meuble vasque ainsi que le sol et la tablier de baignoire sont en teck afin de garder un esprit naturel et chaleureux. Le laiton est présent par petites touches sur l’ensemble de l’appartement : poignées de meubles, table bistrot, luminaires… Un canapé cosy blanc avec des petites tables vertes mobiles et un tapis graphique reprenant un motif floral composent l’espace salon tandis qu’une table à allonges laquée blanche avec des chaises design transparentes meublent l’espace repas pour recevoir famille et amis, en toute simplicité.

Inspiration for a medium sized beach style kitchen/diner in Other with recessed-panel cabinets, white cabinets, quartz worktops, multi-coloured splashback, ceramic splashback, white floors, white worktops, black appliances and an island.

In the heart of South West London this contemporary property had a full re-fit installing a range of bespoke concrete work to complement various spaces around the house. The kitchen features a custom island, worktop and matching splash-back. The handleless white units with brass detailing and matching Vola Taps/Accessories are complemented by the striking colour and thickness of our polished concrete. Continuing through to the living room, there is a bespoke fire hearth and shelf counter spanning over five meters in length. Manufactured in two pieces this concrete counter enhances the feature wall with its overwhelming presence. Matching units and brass detailing combined with the same concrete thickness compliment the kitchen and keep a sense of fluidity throughout the property. Following the brass detailing motif to the bathroom, we installed a white ‘Kern’ Kast Concrete Basin and matching bespoke shelf. The stunning combination of colours creates a bright, freshly modern space, perfect for a modern but classic bathroom.

The combination of white gloss units against vibrant red glass bring this space to life whilst the tones of the french grey quartz worktop are reflected in the Rondine Silver floor tiles and stainless steel accents found throughout the kitchen. Clean lines, distinct design, lighting, clever storage and carefully selected appliances combine to create a kitchen which is light, bright and open, delivering functionality encased in style. Several elements have been used to open up this kitchen including the use of reflective surfaces, under and in cabinet lighting along with reduced height wall units with folding lift-up doors above the sink and hob combined with an equipment bar to keep utensils to hand and work top clutter free. Within the kitchen there is a single oven and induction hob along with fully integrated dishwasher, washing machine and cooker hood. A white Franke Belfast undermounted sink maintains the clean lines of this design whilst a Franke Atlas Stainless Steel Tap adds to the stainless steel accents of this kitchen perfectly.

Set within the Carlton Square Conservation Area in East London, this two-storey end of terrace period property suffered from a lack of natural light, low ceiling heights and a disconnection to the garden at the rear. The clients preference for an industrial aesthetic along with an assortment of antique fixtures and fittings acquired over many years were an integral factor whilst forming the brief. Steel windows and polished concrete feature heavily, allowing the enlarged living area to be visually connected to the garden with internal floor finishes continuing externally. Floor to ceiling glazing combined with large skylights help define areas for cooking, eating and reading whilst maintaining a flexible open plan space. This simple yet detailed project located within a prominent Conservation Area required a considered design approach, with a reduced palette of materials carefully selected in response to the existing building and it’s context.

Design ideas for a medium sized contemporary l-shaped kitchen in London with a submerged sink, flat-panel cabinets, beige cabinets, quartz worktops, beige splashback, glass sheet splashback, integrated appliances, porcelain flooring and a breakfast bar.

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.
