ONE KITCHEN: THREE WAYS RINGING THE CHANGES


Choosing a new kitchen can be a little overwhelming, visualising how units will look in your own home difficult. Design experts at Neptune know that and this month they show how one range can be styled out to create three different looks.


The Suffolk collection is their most pared back kitchen – drawing on the refined simplicity of the Shaker design with a less-is-more approach to decorative details. Its purity of design means it’s also the most versatile of kitchens, able to adapt to different interior styles and fulfil various family needs.


THE AFFORDABLE FAMILY KITCHEN


Designing a stylish kitchen for busy family life that ticks all the boxes but still comes in at under £10K for the painted units is surprisingly achievable when you know where to spend and where to save.


This project, led by designer Becky Smith, started with a simple run of Suffolk units, painted in Ink, and a clean line of cost-effective open shelving which allowed her to incorporate all the important things that a practical, working kitchen needs – easy access storage, a 1.5 bowl sink, an integrated bin and even a statement stove. The built-in cooker hood was kept simple (and thus affordable) while the Dylan leather toggle handles gave a contemporary spin and made the open-plan kitchen-diner feel less ‘kitchen-y’. The metal framed Carter island added an industrial edge and provided plenty of useful storage, while she offset the cost of the granite worktops by extending them with a small up-stand to avoid the expense of a full splash back or tiling.


As Becky explains: “We tailored this kitchen for a young family, making it fun with our contrast of Saffron walls and Ink cabinets and that show-stopping Everhot stove in mustard.”
