An appliance cupboard has a roller door to screen benchtop essentials, while a mirrored splashback (centre) helps lift the natural light quotient. Task lights underneath the cabinetry provide extra illumination at night.

Topped with Caesarstone in Snow, the generous island unit plays host to an Abey ‘Piazza’ undermounted sink and Franke ‘Pyra’ pull-out mixer tap. Pulling double duty as a prep zone and casual family meals area, the island also comes with generous under-counter storage space, an integrated Miele dishwasher and chic Thonet bentwood bar stools, found at Relax House. If you love monochrome style, there are a host of cool decorating ideas to be found here, while this sumptuous kitchen has similarly timeless style.
