Contemporary White Open Plan Kitchen Ideas and Designs

This kitchen showcases a harmonious blend of contemporary design and classic architecture. The room is well-lit, with natural light streaming in from a large window on the left. The ceiling features intricate crown molding, indicative of the building's Grade 2 listing and historical significance. Three elegant pendant lights with a brass finish and frosted glass shades hang above the central island, which is topped with a pristine white countertop. The island also incorporates a built-in sink and a cooktop, offering functionality within its streamlined form. Two modern bar stools with curved silhouettes and dark wooden legs are positioned at the island, providing casual seating. The kitchen cabinetry is minimalistic, with handleless doors painted in a muted off-white tone that complements the overall neutral palette. A splashback of white marble adds a touch of luxury and ties in with the countertop. The flooring is laid in a herringbone pattern, adding texture and a classic touch to the space. A small selection of books and a vase with eucalyptus branches introduce a personal and lived-in feel to the otherwise minimalist kitchen.

The brief was to create a feminine home suitable for parties and the client wanted to have a luxurious deco feel whilst remaining contemporary. We worked with a local Kitchen company Tomas Living to create the perfect space for our client in these ice cream colours. The Gubi Beetle bar stools had a bespoke pink leather chosen to compliment the scheme.

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?

Die praktischen Features und die gewohnt exzellente Verarbeitung der Küche stehen in diesem Haus ausnahmsweise im Hintergrund. Hier überzeugt vor allem das gestalterische Konzept der Möbel auf Maß durch alle Räume hinweg.

Rechts läuft die Arbeitsplatte in ein offenes Fach für die dort angeschlossenen Küchengeräte hinein. So lassen sich diese für die Benutzung einfach nach vorn ziehen. Werden sie nicht gebraucht, kann das Fach mit einem Rollladen geschlossen werden.

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.

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.

This client's design brief was for a kitchen, scullery and laundry that had the WOW factor. The kitchen renovation was part of a wider renovation project which included transforming the dining and living space which flows out to a large outdoor decked area.
