Small White, Black Kitchen with All Types of Island Ideas and Designs

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.

The kitchen, located in the lower ground floor, was updated with bespoke cabinetry fitted around the chimney breast with a range cooker within the existing fireplace.

The cabinetry features flat-faced Melteca Warm White – Satin doors, panels, and drawers—creating a cohesive and clean finish throughout. Integrated handle slots on lower cabinetry and push-to-open pantry doors elevate the minimalist feel while keeping functionality at the forefront. The floating shelves and toekicks also match in Melteca Warm White – Satin, allowing them to visually recede and support the calming, cohesive palette. The kitchen benchtop and splashback are finished in Trendstone Cala Eleganza, a soft and sophisticated surface with subtle veining that adds texture and interest without overwhelming the space. The corner waterfall ends finish the peninsula beautifully, giving it sculptural presence.

Situé au cœur de la dynamique ville de Puteaux, à deux pas de La Défense, cet appartement de 28m2 était dans un état de détérioration avancé, résultante de l’absence de travaux pendant plusieurs décennies. Malgré son état défraîchi, la présence d’un jardin à l’avant du bien conquis immédiatement la propriétaire qui y vu un atout majeur. Investissement en guise de pied à terre, le cahier des charges était clair : créer un espace nuit indépendant, condamner l’accès par les parties communes pour entrer dans l’appartement par le jardin, le tout dans une ambiance épurée et lumineuse. Résultat : un espace extérieur métamorphosé avec une terrasse accueillante, donnant l’accès à la pièce à vivre. Une cuisine fonctionnelle où de nombreux rangements se combinent à l’électroménager dissimulé (lave vaisselle et réfrigérateur sous plan), s’articule autour d’un espace dînatoire sur mesure pour trois convives. Le sanitaire indépendant prend place avant l’accès à « la suite ». La chambre en second jour baignée de lumière grâce à la verrière en tête de lit, abrite un linéaire dressing et une bibliothèque. Enfin, la salle d’eau dévoile une belle douche de 130x90cm, combiné à un plan vasque sous lequel se dissimule le lave linge encastré. Les matériaux naturels se conjuguent à la praticité d’usage ; un carrelage effet parquet au sol de l’ensemble de la surface réchauffe l’atmosphère. Béton ciré, peinture à la chaux, tissus chinés et lumières indirectes créent ainsi un cocon chaleureux où les nuances de blancs et de beiges s’unissent. Un projet clé en main intérieur/extérieur pour ce nouveau deux pièces métamorphosé.
