Boot Rooms & Laundry Rooms

When space is at a premium, stacking the washing machine and tumble dryer provides a quick win. Hiding them behind a door will keep things looking tidy & keep the noise down. Running the quartz or granite worktop through tall cupboards as a visible edge, is a detail that keeps the room looking stylish as well as practical. Small details can make all the difference.

Calling all dog owners…leaving a cubby-hole in the base cabinets to house a dog bed is a novel idea. Cladding the sides with quartz will also ensure Fido’s space is easy to keep clean and stays odour free.

Including a deep Belfast or extra-large sink will complete the laundry facilities for a busy household – and might even double up as a space to wash the dog!

Walk-in Pantries

Traditional shaker-style kitchens are often used to good effect in combination with internal Crittall glass doors. They will form a walk-in pantry worthy of any Grand Design home. Zoning areas of the kitchen is great and allows for some inspirational display ideas. Matching or even contrasting worktops and shelving in quartz, granite or marble is practical too, acting to keep food items cool.

If decorative brackets are used to support & fix the shelving, we can pre-drill holes in the quartz.

A New Way To Buy Quartz Worktops: The Foundation Range

Buying a kitchen involves a lot of decisions. Cabinetry. Appliances. Flooring. Handles. Lighting. Worktops. And when you get to worktops, working out what they are going to cost is always straightforward. Different materials have different price points. And then there are cut-outs, edges, upstands and installation to consider. We thought there should be a simpler […]

The Rise of Full Height Kitchen Cladding

For years, the standard approach to kitchen worktops was relatively simple: stone across the work surfaces, a small matching upstand and perhaps a splashback behind the hob. That’s changing. We’re increasingly seeing customers take their chosen stone much further, continuing it vertically from the worktop and using it to clad the wall above. Known as […]

Are Stone Worktops Really More Expensive Than You Think?

When people start planning a kitchen, they create a mental list of what they think they can and can’t afford. Stone worktops may end up in the ‘probably to expensive’ category. And for many years, stone was classed as a luxury product reserved for high-end homes or unlimited budgets. However, times have changed and today […]
