The new kitchen has as much storage as we could fit into it. The island bench is a hardworking unit with drawers, cupboards, a sink, dishwasher and a minibar as well as plenty of benchspace. The clever features built into both the island bench and the full-height storage on the walls are hidden within seamless timber cabinetry to give a streamlined, contemporary look. The placement of the breakfast bar allows for comfortable circulation within the kitchen as well as in front of the bench. The bench itself seats five.
