Our clients envisioned a bold black kitchen that made a statement while remaining practical for family life. The design needed to integrate existing flooring, work within an expansive 8 meter wide space and balance the drama of an all-black aesthetic without feeling overwhelming. From the initial consultation to the final installation, our designer, Diane, worked closely with them, ensuring every detail aligned with their aspirations.
One of the project’s key challenges was working with the existing flooring. Rather than letting it limit the design, Diane used it as an opportunity to innovate. A large L-shaped island was introduced, cleverly covering the floor joint while becoming the focal point of the room. A built-in herb garden was seamlessly integrated between two worktop pieces, bringing a natural touch to the space while keeping fresh ingredients within easy reach
With nearly 8 meters of width to work with, Diane ensured the design felt inviting rather than overwhelming. Instead of filling the entire space with black cabinetry, she introduced a bronze mirror-clad back wall and oak shelving, adding warmth, depth and a touch of understated elegance. The copper sink and tap tied these elements together, complementing the Silkstone Obsidian polished worktops with their subtle copper veining. Thoughtfully placed, warm-toned under-shelf lighting enhanced the ambiance and created a place for carefully chosen décor,
