Maximize space with this smartly designed kitchen. With a Scandinavian feel the NEW Portland range is perfect for a small but perfectly formed kitchen. High density particle board finished in melamine to give a matt finish with the look of Indian oak.

While we were working on the lounge project the couple decided to revamp the kitchen retaining as many of the original units as possible. We removed the wall units opting for simple display shelving. There were overpowering dark blue tiles on the wall around the sink area and we removed these in favour of a painted finish and upstand. We also replaced the existing breakfast bar which was overlarge with this arrangement that includes storage underneath. Image by Georgi Mabee

The original layout on the ground floor of this beautiful semi detached property included a small well aged kitchen connected to the dinning area by a 70’s brick bar! Since the kitchen is 'the heart of every home' and 'everyone always ends up in the kitchen at a party' our brief was to create an open plan space respecting the buildings original internal features and highlighting the large sash windows that over look the garden.
