Kitchen with Quartzite Benchtops and Metallic Splashback Design Ideas

The waterfall edge on the island offeres a vertical view of the Brachot Capri BQS quartz worktop. It is a lovely quartz with a fine marble effect grey and brown vein. These waterfall edges not only look great but they are so easy to clean and add a level of protection to an island that end panels don't.

The owners of this contemporary new-build home in Walberton wanted to transform their compact kitchen into something truly special - a grand, open-plan space designed for cooking, living, and entertaining. Entertaining was at the heart of their vision: a sociable hub with generous seating, intuitive functionality, and the flexibility that a busy modern family demands.

We’re delighted to be able to show this, our latest project in Welwyn Garden City. More than ever, we need our homes to do so much. We want the kitchens functional and beautiful, the living areas comfortable yet practical with plenty of storage - and when it’s open plan living, like this one, we want the spaces to connect in a stylish and individual way. Choosing a supplier that creates hand built, bespoke cabinets and fitted furniture is the very best way to ensure all boxes are ticked! In this project the kitchen and living areas have been hand built in a classic Shaker style which is sure to stand the test of time but with some lovely contemporary touches. The mirror splashback, in the kitchen, allows the natural light to bounce around the kitchen and the copper accents are bright and stylish and keep the whole look current. The pendants are from tom Dixon @tom_dixon11. The cabinets are hand painted in F&B’s downpipe which is a favourite, and for good reason. It contrasts beautifully with their chalky Wimbourne White and, in an open plan living situation like this, it sets the kitchen area apart from living area. At Planet we love combining two finishes. Here, the Corian worktop in Vanilla sits beautifully with the Solid oak Breakfast bar which in itself is great with a wooden floor. The colours and finishes continue into the Living Room which unifies the whole look. The cupboards and shelving are painted in Wimbourne White with accents of the Downpipe on the back panels of the shelving. A drinks cabinet has become a popular addition to our projects, and no wonder! It’s a stylish and fun addition to the room. With doors closed it blends perfectly with the run of storage cupboards and open – no detail has been overlooked. It has integrated lighting and the worktop is the same Vanilla Corian as the kitchen. To complete the drinks cupboard a scalloped oak wine rack below has been hand built by our skilled craftsmen.

For a show-stopping statement, choose one of our contemporary style kitchens, like our beautiful on-trend Milano design, with a glossy finish. Pair bright white Bianco cabinets with a Quartz Calacatta Botanica countertop for a stylish and seamless look.

Mes clients désiraient des pièces plus ouvertes et une circulation plus fluide entre la cuisine et leur salle à manger. Nous avons donc réunis les deux pièces, changé l'ensemble des meubles de la cuisine et posé un sol esprit carreaux ciment vintage. L'ensemble des menuiseries extérieures ont été changées et sublimées par des stores sur mesure. Côté cuisine, nous avons opté pour des meubles aux lignes pures et une crédence miroir pour apporter de la profondeur. Pour la salle à manger, nous avons conservé les meubles mis en valeur par une suspension légère et moderne.

The Manor Range showcases the heights of sophisticated, artisanal kitchen design—an embodiment of what is possible only when a kitchen is truly bespoke and crafted entirely in-house. Every element in this kitchen is furnished with flourish, layered with refined detail, and executed with a level of care and attention that elevates the space into a work of functioning art. Beaded in-frame cabinetry with matching beaded doors and drawers is complemented by additional decorative panelling and intricate craftsman cornicing, all tempered in a soft Grey Goose matte. Doors are fitted with a curated mix of chrome handles and knobs, hung on exposed butt hinges that add an intentional traditional accent. Worktops in polished Cambria Fairbourne cream quartz flow up into a 100mm backsplash and settle as stone windowsills, with every edge adorned with an ogee profile for added luxury. A grand, bespoke wood range hood commands the space, featuring an antique mirror backsplash framed in stone for depth and drama. The hood itself is enriched with double-bead panelling, a decorative mantlepiece supported by ornate corbels, and a handcrafted Regency diamond brass grille by Armac Martin. The hood additionally houses walnut spice racks close at hand either side of the cooking zone. The island is a centrepiece in its own right, embellished with a Winchester skirt plinth and topped with a raised walnut breakfast bar, finished with a laminated Dupont ogee edge. Behind the bar, an undermounted sink is paired with a fusion square Quooker tap for instant hot water. Chilled beverages are stored on one side within the integrated wine cooler, and glassware can be found at the opposing side, within the striking curved glass display cabinet, also made from solid walnut. Keep looking, and even more thoughtful details are revealed. The dedicated wine rack above the American-style fridge freezer for more clever storage. The fisherpaykel Integrated Double DishDrawer dishwasher which can be used independently from one another. The upholstered window seat for a moment of quiet luxury within the kitchen. The Manor Range is a testament to the unmatched quality, refinement, and individuality that we believe only a company designing and building kitchens entirely in-house can deliver. A kitchen where every flourish and detail is a reflection of both the client’s vision and true master-craftmanship.

We are proud to present this breath-taking kitchen design that blends traditional and modern elements to create a truly unique and personal space.

The island also features seating for three, a Quooker tap, AGA oven, and a rounded oak table top, making it the perfect space for entertaining guests. The mirror splashback adds a touch of elegance and luxury, while the traditional high ceilings and bi-fold doors allow plenty of natural light to flood the room. The island is not just a functional space, but a stunning piece of design as well. The curved cupboards and round oak butchers block are beautifully complemented by the quartz worktops and worktop break-front. The traditional pilasters, nickel handles, and cup pulls add to the timeless feel of the space, while the bespoke serving tray in oak, integrated into the island, is a delightful touch. Designing for large spaces is always a challenge, as you don't want to overwhelm or underwhelm the space. This kitchen is no exception, but the designers have successfully created a space that is both functional and beautiful. Each drawer and cabinet has its own designated use, and the dovetail solid oak draw boxes add an elegant touch to the overall bespoke kitchen.

A stunning period property in the heart of London, the homeowners of this beautiful town house have created a stunning, boutique hotel vibe throughout, and Burlanes were commissioned to design and create a kitchen with charisma and rustic charm. Handpainted in Farrow & Ball 'Studio Green', the Burlanes Hoyden cabinetry is handmade to fit the dimensions of the room exactly, complemented perfectly with Silestone worktops in 'Iconic White'.

One of the crucial elements of being a truly bespoke furniture business is that we can say yes to commissions that other companies will not usually undertake. For this new kitchen and home renovation project, our clients had an unusual request. As opposed to removing and creating a new kitchen island, they asked us, instead, to restore and repaint their existing one. It was a 1.8 metre vintage oval design by furniture company, Chalon, to which they wanted a new worktop added to complement their new kitchen style. They also asked for us to renovate the oval hanging rack and light fitting above it, and to re-paint an existing wine rack, also by Chalon. We duly took the furniture pieces to our cabinet workshop and carefully restored them, whilst making the rest of the new kitchen so that it could all be installed at the same time. The rest of the new kitchen was designed, made and installed by Simon Taylor Furniture in accordance with our clients’ brief. They wanted an elegant dark wood-drenched kitchen that would complement new herringbone flooring that we also supplied and laid. They requested lots of storage, both overhead and undercounter. We incorporated various drawers at different depths to accommodate all their cooking items, including pans, crockery and cutlery, together with specifically-designed drawer inserts for chopping knives, herbs and spices. The door and drawer fronts are all handmade in Black American Walnut with a cot bead detail throughout. This beautiful timber features a stunning woodgrain when lacquered and polished. A new 60mm thick worktop in American Black Walnut was added to the refurbished island, which was handpainted in Cinder Rose by Farrow & Ball. This romantic pastel violet colour also follows through to a wall-mounted wine rack that faces the island to the left-hand side. The wine rack is located above the sink run, which has a window at the centre of it in the u-shaped kitchen. There are three base storage drawers next to an integrated 60cm dishwasher by Gaggenau, adjacent to a to-door utility cupboard and a cabinet for pull-out bins. Within the 50mm raised Calacatta Gold quartz worktop is a Kohler single bowl undermount sink with a Quooker Fusion 3-in1 boiling water tap in gold colourway. To the centre of the u-shape is the surface cooking run, with an antique mirror splashback behind a central 90cm Gaggenau induction hob with a concealed Gaggenau canopy hood installed within walnut cabinetry above it. Flanking the hood are two tall wall-mounted cabinets with fluted glass inserts that have integrated LED lighting to make a feature of them at night. To the right-hand side is a slim cabinet next to housings for a bank of Gaggenau Vario 400 ovens a 45cm combination microwave above a 60cm pyrolytic oven, with a 14cm warming drawer beneath, and with storage cabinets above and below to accommodate cooking trays and accessories. Adjacent is a tall Vario 400 integrated fridge freezer, also by Gaggenau. 12mm Calacatta Gold splashbacks are featured above the worktop in the corner space. All hammered forged antique brass handles are made bespoke by Ged Kennett and the plinth is finished in brushed brass to complement the accessories in this kitchen. The project also included a matching utility room, with floor-to-ceiling walnut cabinetry and open shelving with a farmhouse sink by Shaws and an antique brass tap by Perrin & Rowe.

Mid-sized transitional l-shaped separate kitchen in Essex with an undermount sink, flat-panel cabinets, quartzite benchtops, metallic splashback, mirror splashback, stainless steel appliances, dark hardwood floors and with island.

The key design goal of the homeowners was to install “an extremely well-made kitchen with quality appliances that would stand the test of time”. The kitchen design had to be timeless with all aspects using the best quality materials and appliances. The new kitchen is an extension to the farmhouse and the dining area is set in a beautiful timber-framed orangery by Westbury Garden Rooms, featuring a bespoke refectory table that we constructed on site due to its size. The project involved a major extension and remodelling project that resulted in a very large space that the homeowners were keen to utilise and include amongst other things, a walk in larder, a scullery, and a large island unit to act as the hub of the kitchen. The design of the orangery allows light to flood in along one length of the kitchen so we wanted to ensure that light source was utilised to maximum effect. Installing the distressed mirror splashback situated behind the range cooker allows the light to reflect back over the island unit, as do the hammered nickel pendant lamps. The sheer scale of this project, together with the exceptionally high specification of the design make this kitchen genuinely thrilling. Every element, from the polished nickel handles, to the integration of the Wolf steamer cooktop, has been precisely considered. This meticulous attention to detail ensured the kitchen design is absolutely true to the homeowners’ original design brief and utilises all the innovative expertise our years of experience have provided.
