Marvellous monochrome kitchen

Contemporary Fulham renovation

This couple commissioned Cue Design to gut a small, pokey kitchen and living room at the back of their Fulham property and create an enlarged space by extending out the side and rear into the garden. The result is a kitchen-living space with just a partial wall dividing the open-plan interior.

Cue Design utilised glass bi-fold doors to fuse the interior with the garden complemented by Strong White Farrow& Ball paint on the walls and ceiling to create a fresh, light feel throughout (this video is shot at night, so the look is more snug).

 The kitchen cabinetry is bespoke by Cue and boasts gloss white doors with charcoal trims, end panels, tall units and pelmets, which is crowned by Silestone worktops. A solid oak floor and dining table injects warmth into the scheme, while the bright red unit in the living space adds a splash of colour.

Classic-contemporary kitchen, Mansfield

This kitchen was lovingly renovated to become the hub of a family home. The couple from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, chose a classic style that would stand the test of time and selected units from Howdens in a beautiful cream tone complemented by glazed elements and glossy granite-style worktops. To unify the look the couple scoured the Internet to find the American-style refrigerator and matching range cooker and found the perfect solution from Rangemaster. They love the finished design as this video presentation shows. Watch as the installation as it develops towards completion.
