10 Inspirational ideas for kitchen design


Monochrome kitchen diner : Monochrome is so well suited to a kitchen-diner, adding designer style to simple white units. Give the look a twist by papering the back wall with a bold floral pattern and fixing a clear acrylic splashback over it to keep it clean and dry.


Monochrome kitchen : Black gloss units give this kitchen its modern look, while rustic worktops and furniture, retro accessories and classic chequerboard floor tiles give a welcoming feel. The room is completed with a styish black and white statement wallpaper.


Rich wooden units : For a big impact in a small kitchen, go for American walnut units with chunky handles to keep them feeling up-to-date. Curved worktops will add extra interest and soften the feel, while floral curtains give the kitchen a contemporary touch.


Ultra-contemporary kitchen-diner : White units and stark worktops create a bright and airy look in this uber-modern kitchen-diner. Ice-blue splashbacks continue the sleek, crisp look, and a central island unit doubles as a food preparation area and breakfast bar.


Modern glass splashbacks : Combine glossy white units with glass splashbacks to maximise the light in the kitchen. Glass shelves and stainless steel appliances will also help bounce light around the room and enhance the sense of space.


Candy-colours kitchen : Create a contemporary feel with beautiful traditional styling by choosing units in a fresh cornflower blue. Here the bespoke kitchen has rounded detailing and a large Belfast sink and is accessorised with a candy-stripe window blind.


Light and bright kitchen-diner : A large dining table provides the focus for this modern kitchen-diner. White walls and kitchen units create a bright room and a wooden storage unit adds warmth and offers the perfect place to display books and family photos.


Zesty kitchen-diner : Glossy kitchen units in caramel shades creates a look that is modern and warm and bounce light around the room. Try extended a kitchen worktop to create an informal eating area, with space underneath for essential storage.


Modern kitchen-diner : A spacious island unit doubles as an informal dining area. Use cream floor tiles and ivory walls to create a light and airy backdrop and them accessorise with warm wooden finishes and pendant lighting.
