Small Kitchen with Green Cabinets, Quartzite Benchtops and Tile Benchtops Design Ideas

Beautiful handmade Shaker style cabinetry with a cock beaded frame and quarter round door moulding. Hand painted using Mylands London based paint company colours Brompton Grove and Clirkenwell. Stunning bronze Armac Martin handles and a gorgeous worktop by The Granite House in Stratra White in 30mm depth. We designed an extra deep work surface in front of a window that was built over an old window seat at the front of the house. This created a very pretty window aspect with light streaming throughout the whole kitchen area, again reflecting on the light shade of Quart worktop. Either side of this deep work surface we handcrafted and installed tall cabinets to house drinks and useful extra storage shelves. We love working with unique older homes that require a sensitive and mature approach to the kitchen design. For example, the cottage had a spiral staircase on one side of the kitchen, that required us to design and install a studwork false wall in situ to build wall cabinets against. Feature thick curved walls also required a clever approach for the worktop in quirky coves and deep reveals for decorative items.

Design ideas for a small contemporary u-shaped separate kitchen in London with a double-bowl sink, flat-panel cabinets, green cabinets, quartzite benchtops, grey splashback, ceramic splashback, white appliances, cork floors, no island, brown floor and grey benchtop.

This recently completed provenance by piqu kitchen design makes the most of the limited space available and whilst not the biggest project, everything has been included that you would need. Designed and handcrafted in our workshop in Orpington, the end result is very clean and uncluttered and we absolutely love the cool and calming colours from Farrow & Ball – Treron and School House White coupled with the brass fittings, lighting and Quorn stone floor chosen by our clients.

Reunited with some amazing clients last week! These were some of my lockdown heroes - we tackled online presentations, project delays, and on-site questions together. While I couldn't wait for the professional photoshoot later this month, I had to share some sneak peeks. This was absolutely a challenging project! We squeezed in a staircase, a kitchen renovation, a lower-ground shower room, and even the boiler and washing machine – all within a tight space with tricky existing features and site levels. But now, it looks deceptively "easy" and open – just as good design should! The final result is remarkably close to the original vision, with details like the double-story round column, the slatted balustrade (including the beautifully detailed "slatted" newel post by the carpenter), the curved shower room wall, and the exposed structural beams bringing it all together. The clients truly trusted the process, and the contractors at @marptree absolutely delivered. Can't wait for the professional photos to truly showcase this project! #architectureproject #homedesign #renovationproject #completedproject #clientlove #designbuild

Une chambre d’amis discrète et accueillante, ouverte sur la lumière. Située au niveau bas du duplex, cette petite chambre a trouvé sa place dans l’ancienne cuisine. Séparée du séjour et de la cuisine par une porte vitrée en arche réalisée sur mesure, elle préserve l’intimité tout en laissant passer la lumière naturelle. Pensée comme un espace d’appoint élégant, elle offre un cocon calme et bien proportionné pour accueillir les invités.

Step into this vibrant and inviting kitchen that combines modern design with playful elements. The centrepiece of this kitchen is the 20mm Marbled White Quartz worktops, which provide a clean and sophisticated surface for preparing meals. The light-coloured quartz complements the overall bright and airy ambience of the kitchen. The cabinetry, with doors constructed from plywood, introduces a natural and warm element to the space. The distinctive round cutouts serve as handles, adding a touch of uniqueness to the design. The cabinets are painted in a delightful palette of Inchyra Blue and Ground Pink, infusing the kitchen with a sense of fun and personality. A pink backsplash further enhances the playful colour scheme while providing a stylish and easy-to-clean surface. The kitchen's brightness is accentuated by the strategic use of rose gold elements. A rose gold tap and matching pendant lights introduce a touch of luxury and sophistication to the design. The island situated at the centre enhances functionality as it provides additional worktop space and an area for casual dining and entertaining. The integrated sink in the island blends seamlessly for a streamlined look. Do you find inspiration in this fun and unique kitchen design? Visit our project pages for more.

This beautiful shaker kitchen demonstrates perfectly how a breakfast bar can be incorporated into a smaller space. The contrasting oak worktop compliments the overall country feel of this kitchen. The colour of the units works perfectly and brings this whole space to life.

We were tasked to bring warmth and elegance into our client’s home and the result is a stunning green Shaker kitchen which manages to combine classic and contemporary elements. The Fitzroy Copse green resonates with the surrounding nature, infusing a calming atmosphere into the heart of the home. The Shaker-style cabinets, featuring antique brass cups and knob handles, add immediate interest to the space. Precision and craftsmanship are at the core of this project. The 12mm compact laminate worktops provide durability and offer a sleek, clean surface. Each detail has been carefully considered, ensuring this kitchen remains a functional and beautiful space for years to come. A kitchen needs to cater to the demands of modern living. That’s why we have integrated Hotpoint appliances seamlessly into this space. From cooking gourmet meals to storing fresh produce, these appliances blend technology with style. The Malmo Click LVT flooring adds the final touch of class to this kitchen space. Its natural wood look complements the green tones of the kitchen, creating a harmonious flow that connects the different elements of the room.

Wow, I absolutely love the combination of the mineral green and contrasting black open shelving island in your kitchen! And those walnut accents add such a beautiful touch. Plus, the re circulating hob is a fantastic addition that completes the whole look. It's stunning!
