The existing kitchen wasn't beyond saving, the layout worked well enough and the footprint was good. But the pine units had aged badly, the worktops were dark and heavy, the tiling was a combination of styles that never quite resolved and the track spotlight had been there so long it had become part of the furniture. The brief wasn't a refresh, it was a full redesign. New units, new worktops, new flooring, new lighting, and a dedicated drinks station to make use of an underused section of wall. The aim was a kitchen that felt intentional from top to bottom, not one that had accumulated changes over the years.
The existing units, worktops, and flooring came out completely. Once the room was back to a clean state, the layout was planned properly, socket positions confirmed before any tiling went on, extraction route agreed before the new hood was specified, and the drinks station designed as a considered part of the whole rather than something added at the end. Dark olive green flat-fronted handleless units were fitted throughout the main kitchen run in a U-shape, with the same colour and finish carried through to the dedicated drinks station on the opposite wall. Wood-effect worktops were templated on-site and cut to size. The undermount sink was fitted and plumbing updated. The stainless steel chimney extractor was positioned correctly for the hob location, not just centred on the wall.
White metro tiles were laid as a full splashback across both runs, with LED strip lighting fitted underneath the wall cabinets before the tiles went in, getting the sequencing right means the lighting sits flush and the cables aren't an afterthought. Recessed downlights replaced the track spotlight, and plinth lighting was run the full length of the units, which lifts the room considerably in the evening. The drinks station deserves mention on its own. Glass-fronted display cabinets above, wood-effect worktop at counter height, an integrated wine cooler to the left, and a wine rack built into the lower unit. It functions as a proper bar area without looking like one was bolted on. Herringbone LVT flooring was laid last, running through the full kitchen and continuing into the adjoining space for a consistent finish. The result is a kitchen that looks like it was designed as a whole, because it was.
